Excellent!
This game was very excellent. I really wasn't expecting a new one, so this was cool to see first before it is/was front paged.
Here's the awesome:
1) Gears of War Vision: It was cool to see your logo as you continue to take damage, and even cool to see it fade away. That has to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a flash. Kudos.
2) So many guns! So little pockets: The guns were excellent, and what was probably better is that you only could have two, so you would have to pace yourself in the mindlessness.
3) Unreal Thing-Thing!: Every time I got to a new area, the action never died out. The blood never stopped pouring. The brains never stopped exploding. It was awesome to see everything so ultraviolent now. Yay!
The not Awesome:
1) From Death til you part: Dying was sometimes overly easy. The second elevator ride showed me that, and there was never any breathers. And then it returned you to the menu, which was slightly annoying, but can be overcomed.
2) 100 dead, 0 ammo: That was annoying. I pick up a gun, and I'm like, "Woohoo! AK-47! Time-to-kick-the-ass!" But then 7 goons later and I'm picking up magnums, 5.56mm rifles, and everything but the 7.62mm ammo. Seriously... wtf. But it was bearable, because there were so many other weapons to choose from.
3)Oxygen-Tank needed: There was never an oppurtunity to take a breather, gather my wits, and hurdle over the bodies that kept on pouring on. There was only one part, where there were no enemies whatsoever, and no ammo to be collected. I mean, I need to time to gather ammo, and keep killing later.
The WTF?!s:
1) Not sure if anyone noticed... but the .308 caliber rifles and the 7.62mm rifles can both fire the same ammo in real life... Want to know why... because they are. That kind of threw a "WTF?! Aren't the .308 and the 7.62 round the same?!"
2) It took way too much time to beat up everyone with a lead pipe... a LEAD PIPE by all things. I don't want them to die by lead poisoning, but by a caved-in head.
This game was awesome, and everything looked excellent and refined, but it still has its flaws that could be tackled. So I give a 10/10 for the good stuff, and 5/5 for other good stuff.
