This is by far the best review I've seen for the game. I was not going to purchase this one, but this review has convinced me otherwise. Epic games should pay you guys for your excellent work. :D
i never actually played gears of war 3 but this looks amazing and the graphics blow xbox one graphics away they really fucked up with the xbox one .even xbone games look very dark and shaded where they have put a filter over to get more frames .how is it that a machine made yrs ago is more powerful than a so called next gen console .fuck microsoft for fucking up a good machine .
Such an epic soundtrack. Visceral and satisfying gameplay easily make it the best shooter of 2011, and it is one of the best multiplayer games of all-time.
I usually hate sci-fi, futuristic games, but i got this today just because I havent gotten any new games to play in awhile and wow it is awesome. The gameplay is so epic and never boring at all like other shooters ive played. 11/10 for me.
Curious, and excuse my ignorance, but: "lag spikes and constant DCs"--what does that mean? I still don't have a Ps3 or 360 and am leaning towards 360, alot because of this game so, is there something I should know...?
Well on amazon you can read some of the book but not the entire book. I bought the first book on amazon. After I finish it then i'll go to the second, third, etc.
@dzilla1991 I like watching my DVD's on it too. I've never really considered Blu-Ray since they're a bit more expensive than DVD's. In answer to your original question, GOW3 is about a 10 hour campaign, co-op, a long ranking system, horde, beast, arcade campaign, and modifiers (like a laugh track, infinite ammo). This game will really keep you busy.
@Rayman408 You can also take Locusts and use them as meat shields, jump from behind cover to kick an advancing enemy and tag Locust Meat Shields with grenades and kick them back at their friends to watch them explode. Just because they stuck with a basic formula doesn't mean you need to. There are other ways to play this game...
GameSpot really do have the most profession written game reviews and scoring system in the world. And now they also have the best video reviews. Congratulations, GameSpot, on your professionalism. Although I still prefer GiantBomb for entertainment.
This right here is COMFORT FOOD GAMING. You can still play this game for multiplayer in offline mode with bots on highest difficulty. I have all the Gears of War games after this one (Judgement, 4 & 5) and yet I still return to 3 because it's the most fun and epic to play.
Ok just a question , Iove Gears and I re upped last month but I haven't been playing, im burned out. Just wanna know how more poeple are currently playing MW2 than Gears 3. Pretty insane.
There are 5 Books. Goes in order by 1) Gears of War: Aspho Fields 2) Gears of War: Jacinto's Remnant 3) Gears of War: Anvil Gate 4) Gears of War: Coalition's End 5) Gears of War: The Slab. You should read them if your a real gears fan. Got mine on amazon
@chonchon911 YES! Four player campaign, beast mode, horde mode, awesome matchmaking multiplayer, modifiers (Like a laugh track after every kill, or headless chicken) wickedly awesome achievements, incoming FREE DLC for campaign, and just overall friendly feel. Everything can be done with four people (Horde is five people), and tons of replay content.
If you're talking about campaign, you might want to try the other two out first. Not because your missing too much if you don't but mainly because you get a better attachment to the characters, story, and war in general if you play them first. If you're just going in for multiplayer, just jump in to Gears 3. Gears 3 is pretty well polished while the other two still have some bugs and annoyances in them that'll piss you off.
@InsideOUT37 I 100% agree with you. It's a totally different campaign on Insane...Really draws you in...If you don't get the adrenaline rush then you can't be aware enough to advance to the next checkpoint.
@TheHowardZinn this game is awesome!!!!=)remeber sales matter too,sales says people rather buy gears more then uncharted=)gears has scored all over all in the 9.0 area,uncharted 1 in 8.7 over all,2 was the only one in the 9.0 area,but again if people dont want to play it it can have an over all 10 and it would not matter if the other game sells more=)
i bought a 4gb xbox 360 just for gears of war 3 i just finished the campaign and now its my favourite game of all time.. the battle at anvil gate was brutal
@Twighlighw0nder i agree completely on the batman arkham city statement, but then again arkham asylum was nominated as a contender when it came out, so who knows. but thank you for agreeing, because skyrim is the first game i have EVER played that makes it almost physically impossible to use hyperbole while giving it due praise. its true glory is something that cant very well word, it is something that can only be played. truly staggering indeed.
Ten years later and still one of the top 10 games of all time.
This game alone made X360 worth buying for me.
6 years later, I just bought it only to play this game
9.5? But he didn't say a single negative thing? Why not give it a ten?...
A ten is only given to indie games and anything rockstar puts out
This is by far the best review I've seen for the game. I was not going to purchase this one, but this review has convinced me otherwise. Epic games should pay you guys for your excellent work. :D
they went out with a bang!
Played this game for the first time this year on Xbox One X... it’s a masterpiece and best in the series.
Second one is better
Just started playing this for free using Game Pass via X Box Series S. Great game it is.
Solid review. I agree with the score.
Wow Gamespot does some great reviews. Best reviews I've seen so far. I love this game. Picked it up on launch.
Is there still training mode where you have AI buddies and enemies and you fight in a map of your choosing with them in any mode you want?
i never actually played gears of war 3 but this looks amazing and the graphics blow xbox one graphics away they really fucked up with the xbox one .even xbone games look very dark and shaded where they have put a filter over to get more frames .how is it that a machine made yrs ago is more powerful than a so called next gen console .fuck microsoft for fucking up a good machine .
This was and still is the best in the series so far
I think second one was better
@@JV-ll1cu second one was great too.
But this was a bit better.
That's just my opinion btw
Just realized this game is 4years old
Now
Brian Lemmon 5 now
And its a master piece. One of a kind truly
Always will be. Don't know about you but gears of wars 10th aniversary coming up so stoked
Now it's 6
Such an epic soundtrack. Visceral and satisfying gameplay easily make it the best shooter of 2011, and it is one of the best multiplayer games of all-time.
I buy games mainly for the Singleplayer/Story part so i'll start with GOW1&2 then and then move on to GOW3 which came bundled with my console.
the greatest game imo
Second one is better
I usually hate sci-fi, futuristic games, but i got this today just because I havent gotten any new games to play in awhile and wow it is awesome. The gameplay is so epic and never boring at all like other shooters ive played. 11/10 for me.
This my favorite game of all time ever
I think second one is better
How can they do a review when the game is not out yet or is it out in the usa
You talking about the game or the series in general?UT 2004 is still played to this day
Idk why you gave it only 9.5 it desirves over 10 even it have a special place in my heart
@YGT224 graphics? or overall because gears was amazing for 2006
ahhh the ad wont load even after 3 refreshes for the page,,,,
THIS IS WHY REVIEWS NEED TO BE LONG LIKE THIS!
is there anywhere online to see the books? it has to be, right?
Such a comprehensive review. Thanks a bunch, definately going to buy this game now.
lol is that a Cadillac CTS at 05:36?
Should I get this or the Gears Triple pack?
@topografer whats your deffinition of a great game
Curious, and excuse my ignorance, but: "lag spikes and constant DCs"--what does that mean? I still don't have a Ps3 or 360 and am leaning towards 360, alot because of this game so, is there something I should know...?
Hands down one of the best game reviews I've ever watched
@gamerdude22314 i was curious to see the rating it got.
The single best review I've heard for Gears of War 3.
Where can i find the music at the beginning ?
This is the review that Gears 3 deserve not IGN.
Gears Rule
I already got gears 3 mw3 nd arkham city the three best games of the year im thinking bout finishing it off with skyrim should i get it?
So ive just bought a 360 Gears of War 3 Edition. Can i jump right to this or should i play the two previous games first?
You should play previous ones first. I think second one is best of the bunch
now this is a great review, long and going in to detail in every aspect
Well on amazon you can read some of the book but not the entire book. I bought the first book on amazon. After I finish it then i'll go to the second, third, etc.
@dzilla1991 I like watching my DVD's on it too. I've never really considered Blu-Ray since they're a bit more expensive than DVD's. In answer to your original question, GOW3 is about a 10 hour campaign, co-op, a long ranking system, horde, beast, arcade campaign, and modifiers (like a laugh track, infinite ammo). This game will really keep you busy.
Is it worth it to buy the limited edition Gears of War console or should I just buy a new ps3 ???
@gringolazlo did you not watch the review?
@LoneBaldEagle if i played half way through the campaign in the 2nd one would i need to finish it
I remember those glorious days of gaming with tears on my eyes...
@DragonEyeStudios you mean baird?
Glad to hear that. I came to the series by total coincidence (bought my Xbox on GoW3 release date) and it's become one of my favs.
ITS FINALLLY HERE AND IT DOESNT DESERVE A 9.5/10 IT DESERVES A 10/10
@Rayman408 You can also take Locusts and use them as meat shields, jump from behind cover to kick an advancing enemy and tag Locust Meat Shields with grenades and kick them back at their friends to watch them explode.
Just because they stuck with a basic formula doesn't mean you need to. There are other ways to play this game...
Why i can't unlock the Gold Lancer in gow3 even i got it in gow2? And also, how to exchange guns with teammates?
will i understand whats happening in this game if i havent player gears 1 and 2
You should play those before. Second one is best of the bunch
@Awesomenizzleness you said it's mediocre or something like that ...or was i responding to the wrong comment?
@CogZeta911 to see the feedback that other people have on the game?
GameSpot really do have the most profession written game reviews and scoring system in the world. And now they also have the best video reviews.
Congratulations, GameSpot, on your professionalism. Although I still prefer GiantBomb for entertainment.
best gow3 review out there
this is an awesome review
Gettin it on thursday, is it really that good?
Second one is better
@DPerrito1 there was no graphical update it looked like the same damn thing
This right here is COMFORT FOOD GAMING. You can still play this game for multiplayer in offline mode with bots on highest difficulty. I have all the Gears of War games after this one (Judgement, 4 & 5) and yet I still return to 3 because it's the most fun and epic to play.
@RedMage86 what about battlefield 3?
@danoola25 Before starting up the campaign there is a video that will inform you on the story so far.
I just got Gears of war 3 today! It rocks! It starts out as a dream/flashback. Im still on Act 1 Anchored.
is it bad that my 6 year old nephew loves watching me play gears of war 3?? he says he want to be like cole when he grows up
Ok just a question , Iove Gears and I re upped last month but I haven't been playing, im burned out. Just wanna know how more poeple are currently playing MW2 than Gears 3. Pretty insane.
i liked that finally a carmine survived but i didnt like that dom died
wondering what is Epic Games next title will be
Its the Versus and Campaign which make this game AMAZING
@eskoturn5000 actually the series is primarily a PC game franchise thats been adapted to consoles so...yeah.
should i get this or red dead redemption goty?
what is the name of the song ?
It's the theme of the game
Tanks
It's awesome
@redwidow187 multiplayer is online but you can play co-op offline
There are 5 Books. Goes in order by 1) Gears of War: Aspho Fields 2) Gears of War: Jacinto's Remnant 3) Gears of War: Anvil Gate 4) Gears of War: Coalition's End 5) Gears of War: The Slab. You should read them if your a real gears fan. Got mine on amazon
@345stewma hell yeah man im getting pumped for the co-op campaign and horde mode. only 4 more hours for me here
@chonchon911 YES! Four player campaign, beast mode, horde mode, awesome matchmaking multiplayer, modifiers (Like a laugh track after every kill, or headless chicken) wickedly awesome achievements, incoming FREE DLC for campaign, and just overall friendly feel. Everything can be done with four people (Horde is five people), and tons of replay content.
@Awesomenizzleness wait, you're a cod fanboy? why were you bashing it then? O_O
If you're talking about campaign, you might want to try the other two out first. Not because your missing too much if you don't but mainly because you get a better attachment to the characters, story, and war in general if you play them first.

How the hell did i miss this review?
@TheHowardZinn this game is awesome!!!!=)remeber sales matter too,sales says people rather buy gears more then uncharted=)gears has scored all over all in the 9.0 area,uncharted 1 in 8.7 over all,2 was the only one in the 9.0 area,but again if people dont want to play it it can have an over all 10 and it would not matter if the other game sells more=)
@CogZeta911 i do it, because i want to see if the reviewers share my opinions about a game
@BORICUAJESUSLOVER uncharted gots marketing now,its in the subway promo,no joke it is
Is there some reason escaping me for this getting the same score as skyrim? Or am I just hallucinating?
Not really but I would recomend it since you will get to know the characters better..
I guess your right. Wish they could have added some of the novel plots in the actual game!
@ZacksGamertag Yeah it is. MW3 has been since 2007 on 2 different games.
Should I get the first one before this?
Yes. And the second one because that is the best of the bunch
i bought a 4gb xbox 360 just for gears of war 3 i just finished the campaign and now its my favourite game of all time.. the battle at anvil gate was brutal
@Ttechnicolor dont forget mass effect on xbox 360(it wont count soon since its coming over to ps3 xD)
@Twighlighw0nder i agree completely on the batman arkham city statement, but then again arkham asylum was nominated as a contender when it came out, so who knows. but thank you for agreeing, because skyrim is the first game i have EVER played that makes it almost physically impossible to use hyperbole while giving it due praise. its true glory is something that cant very well word, it is something that can only be played. truly staggering indeed.
@1337CL4N That has been announced waaay back lol and yes it is!
do you need to play GoW 1 and 2 before playing this one'??
You should. Second one is best of the bunch
@DiegoM0219 yep and you can unlock a mutator that turns the blood into flowers
i wanna try this. only played gears once at a friends house for like an hour and that was 3 years ago. uh-oh
one of the best games on 360
And the second one is even better
whichever is cheaper, cause in a year or so the ps4 and new xbox may be out
what"re you looking at! the awesome gears actions up here ^
should i get this or batman arkham city???
is it worth buying an xbox 360 just for this game? :P
@TaePoDongll: Have you seen the IGN review? He's talking about the quality of the review here, not the score.
@JuzzyJake really? your gonna miss school to play?
@dizitei Worrying about requirements, lack of certain games, keyboard and mouse, lack of split screen. Others i can't be bothered to remember
