Gears of War has been the best 360 game EVER, so far. 2nd is Oblivion.
The graphics...the guys at Epic put this together really well. All the graphics effects and everything. The lighting, too!
But, Cliffy B. from Epic said that they only, "scratched the surface of the Xbox 360 when it came to real time lighting."
The story was short, but it's one of those stories that you can do over and over....like 5 times or something like that. The story was nice, and I loved how it put you in all sorts of different scenarios, like on the train or in those mine carts. Chainsaws were....fun in a psycho way.
The multiplayer was endlessly fun, though. I loved the rooftop level and the level with the train. It was so friggin intense. I wish I still had this game...
