This game has some of the most beautiful graphics ever seen in a video game before. It is a third-person shooter game where you, Marcus Fenix--a veteran of war--, and your rag-tag squad fight the Locust, a type of monster from the center of the earth. There's tons of awesome weapons and the gameplay is astounding. There are only a few downsides to it. First of all, the campaign can be completed in a very short amount of time on the easiest difficulty. Second, the multiplayer isn't very well created, however in the next game(GoW2) it is said to have awesome multiplayer. Gears of War also has co-op campaign mode. The greatest part of it is the ability to turn of the blood and gore and replace it with sparks. This feature also tones down the foul language throughout the game, which makes it rated T.
