KSD writes: The promise of Gears of War is still best captured by the original Mad World trailer. Melancholic and understated, the marketing offered something of a response to the triumphant jingoism of Microsofts other blockbuster shooter series, Halo. War with aliens isnt bad-ass. Its sad and lonely and probably hopeless. Protagonist Marcus Fenix could well have been Independence Days Steven Hiller, shooting down aliens and punching them in the face until the end of time because what else was left? Coming out of an era of Ooh Rah patriotism and gas-guzzling machismo, making the hulking, lone COG soldiers anthem a Gary Jules cover of Mad World felt brave and refreshing. Sit down to actually play it, however, and its clear the game is just as much at war with itself as Fenix is with the Locust Horde.

BidnessEtc: Marcus Fenix is back for another round against the Locusts in the Gears of War remake, and it feels as good as it did the first time.

Patricia: Its been almost a decade since the first Gears of War came out on Xbox 360. During that time, many games borrowed Gears best ideas, and the series became one of the most influential of the last generation.

Best of friends, Geoff and Ryan, tear through the campaign of the new Gears of War remaster. Insane difficulty and just each other to rely on. Good luck to them.

When Gears of War was released 9 years ago in 2006 it was a smash hit that went on to influence a whole generation of games in the genre. In an era where cheap imitations have seen gamers scratching their heads at a once proud genre, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a timely reminder that sometimes a stroll back in the past is the best way to influence a new generation.

Ron Burke - "Rebuilt in every way, and unlocking the entire Gears franchise for a value-conscious price, this truly is the Ultimate Edition of Gears of War. Curb stomping is as fun as you remember, but with this much of a rebuild, you have every reason to experience it all over again."

Jim Sterling - "Gears of War Ultimate Edition is a blast to play, even if youre like me and only really intend to get into the story campaign. The multiplayer is still damn robust, beautifully put together, and will be a thrill ride for those who love the Gnasher, but I cant say I havent greatly enjoyed my time with the overall package, because the thing I most cared about has been remastered very well indeed. This goes in the pile of worthwhile rereleases that have been churned out lately, and is no doubt going to adequately tide over Gearheads until the next sequel makes its mark."

XLC Gaming Network writes:- When it comes to ports of previous generation titles for this generation it has been a little hit and miss. You also have some that use the term Ultimate Edition very loosely and the finished article doesnt quite have the impact that it implies. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, fans will be glad to know, sets a whole new benchmark in what Ultimate Edition really means. This isnt just a purchase that current fans will appreciate but a genuine great way to go for people coming into the series for the first time. Just like Halo, the Gears of War franchise walks hand in hand with the Xbox name and its a title not to be overlooked if you are into your third-person action shooters.
