Xbox Shooter Fans Delighted by ‘Gears of War 3’ Launch
Gears of War 3, the latest addition to the popular Xbox shooter series from Epic Games and Microsoft Game Studios, has left fans delighted. The game was released on Sept. 20, 2011, and received positive reviews from across the gaming community.
The success of the game rests on the strong foundations laid by Gears of War 2 (2008) as well as the added attractions and refinements in the latest version. This includes the introduction of dedicated ‘Horde’ and ‘Beast’ mode updates, an expansive array of weapons, the introduction of Kinect for Xbox 360, and a new story.
The new story starts off shortly after the events of Gears of War 2 and sees Marcus Fenix and the remaining COGs trying to rebuild and re-fortify Jacinto whilst at the same time facing off against a new enemy, the Lambent. The Character Development Tool (CDT), which can generate new characters, also adds to the overall experience.
The game’s Kinect features involve voice commands; players can for example order troops to follow them around or make changes in the character’s load-out using voice commands. All this has only added to the enchantment for the current generation of players, whilst at the same time bringing the classic Gears of War series into the modern era.
In conclusion, the launch of Gears of War 3 has more than met the expectations of the fans. It has been widely acclaimed as an entertaining game with plenty of surprises and offers a gaming experience like no other.
