Excitment Mounting

Gears of War 3 is right round the corner, with Monday night's Midnight Release. (09/19/11 - 09/20/11)
And as customary. Epic Games, just like practically every other developer, is pushing to get the word out. One way is by feeding copies of the game to media outlets, like Joystiq or Game Informer. These groups play a full, fresh copy, of the game and write about their experiences!

Joystiq, gave this action sequel [that ends the Trilogy Story Arc Epic started two games ago.] a Five out of Five Stars. They exclaimed that this is by far the most polished, well planed, and perfectly excited title Epic has produced yet; on all fronts. That means Story/gameplay/graphics/multiplayer.
Epic done good with this one. Below is a list of top video game reviewers and a brief 1 through 100 rating. I'll let their words do the talking.

• Giant Bomb (100/100): "It answers questions. It leaves things in a dramatically different place than they were at the start of the game. If this were to be the final game in the Gears franchise, it'd be a satisfying place to leave things."
•  
• Game Informer (95/100): "Doesn't do anything radical, not that anyone expected it to. Only the staunchest Gears haters will find much fault here, though. This is the best execution yet of an idea that spawned one of the biggest modern franchises in all of gaming. What's not to love?"
•  
• IGN (90/100): "Every third-person, cover-based shooter from here on out will likely be compared to Gears 3, and it provides a fitting and poignant-- if sometimes cheesy -- closing chapter to the trilogy...The noted hitches, design decisions and 'been-there, done-that' feel of much of the content colors the overall experience, but it certainly didn't keep me from having one hell of a good time."
•  
• Eurogamer (80/100): "In its multiplayer, all you could have reasonably asked for; in its visuals, new heights reached, while cracks of old age are papered over; in its story, a fitting conclusion; and in its campaign, though short of the consistent brilliance of its predecessor, a mostly rousing and memorable spectacle.

This is going to be one heck of a ride, don't miss out. With four player co-op through the entire campaign, you've got no reason to not buddy up and kick some Lambent ass. GET SOME!


Later!
