| Zippy6 said: I only played Gears for the first time a couple of months ago, the original 360 version on a 360. So I can't really answer as I haven't played 2 or 3 yet. The first one was fine, but if I was just comparing Halo CE to Gears I'd go with Halo. The world of gears is interesting but the controls are awkward and most levels aren't that memorable. The having to switch to grenade instead of just holding and releasing a button was annoying and the cover system sometimes just wasn't doing what I wanted it to. Performance on the original 360 version is also really bad (somehow even worse in cutscenes than gameplay), which really shows the different standards back then considering it got a 94 on metacritic. I played Gears on 360 just after finishing Assassin's Creed on 360, a game with regular fps drops so you would have thought I'd have been somewhat acclimatised but I found Gears performance to effect my enjoyment worse than AC's. If we're widening out from just Halo vs Gears I have to give the shout to Mass Effect instead. |
If you have a Series console. PLay them on that as they get a FPS boost and look nicer. Gears 3 is the best in the series. 2 is great but very different from 1. 1 is more difficult than the other games and more horror-focused. 2 goes all out action and big setpieces. 3 goes more into the horrors of war and the toll it takes.
