94 is gonna be really tough for Gears 3 to match, it might even fall below Gears 2 in terms of ratings.

No mixed or negative reviews yet at least, everything is positive.



It's just that simple.

Around the Network

it doesn't matter if it falls below or above gears 2. Gears 3 is a lot better than Gears 2, gears 2 was a disappointment in the long run MP wise.

Okay. I've gone all of these months without looking at any GeoW3 footage and suddenly, I'm looking at this stuff left and right. Gotta stop, now. Gotta stop or I'm going to ruin the story for myself. I will say that the Gamespot video review is incredible. Fucking incredible.

"I suppose you want me to say I always loved you.....but I don't. I really, really don't."



damn reviews are looking awesome.

But we already all knew it would be incredible anyways



Great reviews!!! Can't wait to get my hands on this game next week! :)

Just watched that review now - that ending was awesome.  I can not wait for this game - Monday night can't come soon enough.

92 Meta at the moment, could be +- 1.

Gamereactor Sweden gave it 9/10 and second opinion was 8/10

Also, someone asked about the graphics of the game and they claim it's the best looking game on the XBOX 360, but (and i quote) "PlayStation 3 has three games that look better than it".

Thinking back on the Top 10 graphic list by GR, its safe to say those games are (in following order):
Uncharted 2, Killzone 3 and God of War 3.

------------------
Can't even imagine the graphics on Uncharted 3...
Anyway my point is:

Gears of War 3 is the best looking game on the 360! Selnor get your ass in here :D.

Great reviews!

Gears of War 1 -> 94 Meta
Gears of War 2 -> 93 Meta
Gears of War 3 -> 92 Meta (So far)

Yeah, no reviews call it the best looking on consoles, but I didn't think they would anyway. Not saying it isn't worthy, just not quite on the same level, potentially, as stuff like Killzone 3, RAGE, Uncharted 3, or Battlefield 3.

From what I played of the beta, there was no question it was the best looking game on the platform, however.

I think we are at a level of end progression as far as this gen tech goes. Reviewers are certainly not saying PS3 exclusives are on another level. Personally I couldnt care. I got to see the game yesterday and its pure scale and detail is THE best on console if not it sits right beside anything any other game throws at it.

Gears has always released at the top. And from what I saw yesterday it has no worries about sitting on the shelf beside KZ3, UC3, Rage and Forza 4. The only one above this league is Battlefield 3.

But I'm sure some will find something negligably different about 1 of the above.

 

OT:

Gears Of War is a fantastic franchise. It knows what it is and sticks with it. One of the great things I like about Microsofts First Party titles is they refine rather than radically change. You know your getting what you wanted and thats a big plus for me. Gears sells for a reason. It is the best action sequence game out there, and one that thrills in the cover firefight system.

A reason why I choose 360 to game on, and Tuesday for my own copy cant come soon enough.

Battlefield 3 on consoles doesn't really look as good as even Rage. You are probably talking about the PC version which has better lighting and destruction.

Yes I refer to the PC version. But we have barely seen anything of the set pieces on console versions of BF3 to say how it holds up. I want to see the tank footage or the nighttime Gulotine trailer stuff on 360/PS3 before I make judgement on the console versions. 

Admitadely there are fewer studios on 360 pushing its limits compared to first party studios on PS3. Only really Turn 10 and Epic have really attempted to squeeze the system. Even then the top pile is exceptionally close now and Gears 3 stuns when seen/played.
