Having read the reviews that have come in for this game I am blown away.

 

Also watching the videos of the various gameplay aspects It looks incredible.

 

Is there anything out there that is really as good?

 

The first game was the first next generation game to come out imo.

 

This one just looks as if the bar has been set much higher.

 

Your thoughts would be interesting.

 

but u have to state in what way does it benchmark, i do not belive it benchmarkes in any given catogory mostly, as there isnt any other notable 3rd person shooter out there that is similar.

so to benchmark whar gears offers, you would have to narrow it down, ie grafix audio story controlls etc etc.

i would give it a 1up on controls as it ushered in a new cover system

The game just looks amazing to me both visually and from a gameplay point.

 

I have not seen anything that matches it.

 

But that is my opinion obviously other folks will beg to differ.

 

I mean can you show me something that matches it in every way.
