Gears of War. - Wow Just wow.

just played gears... - took about an hour or so to really get a feel for this game, i found the control style a lil strange at first but once you give yourself time to adjust it's actually pretty cool. i'm glad i picked this one up, i have a feeling i'll be playing this for.

Gears of Crap - ooh ooh, look at me, I'm not a Sony fan boy, but Gears of War is utter Poo! I've played every system out there, but this is the WORST! It is!!!! Plays like every other 3rd person Oh, I've never played it by the way.... Yours..

I believe it is the typical violence and gore seen in like Doom and
others, that gave it the rating. Anyhow, if you want to know why a
game got a rating it did, look next to the rating. The Descriptors.
For Gears, you have:
Rated "M" for Mature
Descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language

In other words, what you find in something war related.

The option is called "Extreme Content" and gives an on/off. It toggles
the language and some of the blood-splatter.

In close combat the player is able to take a chainsaw weapon to the
opponent. In high definition that may be too much for some younger players.
Without knowing the parents it's hard to predict how much grief you'll take.

The language in Rainbow Six Vegas makes GOW seem like a kiddie Nintendo
game, though the gore isn't as bad. Every other word from the enemies either
"F" this or "MF" that. Sometimes I think it sounds funny, considering the
whole of the dialogue in GOW.

That can be toggled off.

So long as the game isn't AO... (eg)
