Reviews around job (4.60 of 5)

  • I think they did a good job with this new installment of gears of war
  • Gears of War 2 and 3 did a good job introducing and improving this popular game type and now is completely stripped away and replaced with Survivor which sort of like horde but with a class system (which is pretty cool
  • Judgement actually does a much better job telling a story then previous Gears.
  • People Can Fly did a bad job with their first GOW game
  • As a prequel, it does a pretty good job of not surpassing the first three releases.

Reviews around series (4.21 of 5)

  • The gears of war series has always been a hard series to get into
  • I'm sorry, I have been against this series from the start, however, the things and elements they added to this game, its a breath of fresh air for an old suffocated series
  • i love the series and was so disappointed with this one
  • Let me preface this by saying Gears of War is my favorite action series by a long shot
  • i like it! if you come from a hardcore Gears of War fan, you might be disappointed with some changes to the series (Me too, but, just a little) but, if your new the the series, this game is fun and

Reviews around product (4.12 of 5)

  • Excellent product worked well, really recommend is a good productoa an unbeatable price, I am happy for this purchase reallmente if needed would buy another product equal.
  • I'm never really sure how to review a product like a game, movie or music, since most of the reviews are usually meant to say if the product works as advertised etc
  • Sad what they have done to gears, one of the best multiplayers ever, not for kids like COD, not for the weak, u better know how to bounce, u better watch ur back, u better know how to PROPERLY use that shotgun, u better know how to hammerburst somebody down, dont melee, gears used to be an addiction, now its just a joke, a sad sad joke
  • But that's Microlimp for you; put out a great product and then follow up with something substandard
  • Great game but multiplayer was disappointing loved the campaign but multiplayer was worse than gears three instead of the traditional load outs u can only pick one primary weapon and a snub which leaves u at a disadvantage at times and not sure why they took

Reviews around pace (4.10 of 5)

  • I'm going to sell this as fast as I can and go back to Gears 3
  • The Good: Fun and fast paced action, fun multiplayer modes
  • I honestly almost hated the game, but the action itself kept me hooked because it was faster paced than previous games and a bit more exciting
  • Judgement is a very fast paced game with action around every turn
  • They simply try to make this game like COD or Halo with dumb super fast pace multiplayer which is the exact opposite of what gears of wars multiplayer is

Reviews around addition (4.06 of 5)

  • The addition of Survival and Overrun were good additions but plagued with their own problems.
  • Overall okay game, story is pretty good in the Campaign, graphics are pretty awesome, Declassified Missions are a nice addition, but multi-player really sucks and even if you are a good seasoned Gear, it gets boring seeing everyone Two-Piece all the time, and the vertical maps are ridiculous as there is very little fall damage, so a dude can jump down from about 60 feet above you, get no fall damage and blow you away with a Gnasher before you can possibly roll out of the way
  • it's a great addition, giving more replay value to the game
  • I was not thrilled with ANY of the games in this series, as you die in EVERY section played and the chainsaw bayonet fails practically EVERY time I tried to use it on an enemy ... in all 3 games
  • Great story and a great addition to the gears of war saga.

  • The single player is as good as any other Gears of War game

  • Like all franchises, Gears of War has changed over time
  • well Gears of War was my favorite game until this load of crap can out
  • If you're a die hard Gears of War player, and buy this game because you've played the previous ones, lemme tell you that this game is much more different

Reviews around campaign (3.63 of 5)

  • The campaign isn't the problem but the changes to multiplayer certainly are
  • Still Gears of War 3 improved on all fronts; deathmatch, Horde Mode, and campaign.
  • If the missions were longer, if the campaign were harder then it would have made a big difference
  • I enjoyed the campaign a lot and the multiplayer was fun too.
  • Campaign is fun but not as good as gears 3 but the multiplayer has been overhauled and is now better then ever!

Reviews around thing (3.41 of 5)

  • The only good thing I like of the game are classified missions.
  • Usually this isn't a bad thing, but when your character is as slow as this its a real pain to get anywhere.
  • It mostly in a rehash of all things Gears, which if you're familiar with the series, is a good thing
  • Unfortunately, it looks as if everyone has jumped on the COD franchise bandwagon, which to me is a very bad thing caused by bad experiences with games like this not offering an alternative
  • The way the game is designed feels very arcadey and focuses more on the action and scoring points rather than the plot which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you don't care too much for plot in the first place.

Reviews around mode (3.13 of 5)

  • However, I do miss the Horde mode in Gears of War 3 that is NOT in Gears of War Judgement
  • They left out Horde mode which no one i shappy about, but the new modes are still good and build a new way of team work!
  • the online mode is lacking one of the greatest game modes but has a multitude of new modes
  • The only mode I liked in this game was Overrun, but with only 4 maps on the disc, it gets old pretty quickly
  • I love the new game modes, especially Domination and Overrun.

Reviews around story (2.91 of 5)

  • It's just very boring, the story is dreadful and forget about the multiplayer.
  • n have her survive at the end end- after gears 3. and padok has a great story to tell
  • All that said, while I really feel the story is lacking, I enjoyed the campaign, and really only because of the game play
  • Interesting story with new, and fun characters to play with.
  • The single player campaign is short, and the story itself is lackluster

Reviews around multiplayer (2.90 of 5)

  • I don't play Gears games for competitive multiplayer where most of the vitriol is aimed at for this game.
  • I enjoyed the campaign a lot and the multiplayer was fun too.
  • I bought this game to play it online, but the multiplayer gameplay it is really bad, the worst from all the series

Reviews around player (2.48 of 5)

  • and I enjoyed just as much as Gears 1,2,3.(Amazon shipped it to me quick 5 stars for shipping)Pro's Good Single Player (opinion)Con's Removed a lot of favorite multiplayer modes.
  • Each time one is destroyed by the Locust, players are pushed back to the next one
  • But i loved the single player, the button scheme is a lot smoother than past games, but is this game overall better
  • Judgement is worth playing for its fun single-player campaign but with a surprisingly weak multiplayer outing the game offers very little replayability and as such is not worth paying full retail price for.
  • I'm going to sell this as fast as I can and go back to Gears 3

Reviews around judgment (2.44 of 5)

  • On the other hand, if you prefer cooperative game modes, like Horde and Beast mode from Gears of War 3, or playing story based campaigns alone, you probably won't like Judgment.
  • Judgment's campaign feels like a soul successor to Gears 1, and I really enjoy the touches People Can Fly have put into it with the stars a la their awesome and misunderstood Bulletstorm from a couple years back.
  • After playing Gears of War: Judgment, it felt like the scene from Planet of the Apes.
  • On the other hand, if you prefer cooperative game modes, like Horde and Beast mode from Gears of War 3, or playing story based campaigns alone, you probably won't like Judgment.
  • The biggest gap in GoW: Judgment is missing is Horde mode

  • Great game but multiplayer was disappointing loved the campaign but multiplayer was worse than gears three instead of the traditional load outs u can only pick one primary weapon and a snub which leaves u at a disadvantage at times and not sure why they took
  • I'm going to sell this as fast as I can and go back to Gears 3
  • I have been a Gears fan ever since the first edition and was really excited about this game until I played several rounds of Survival (hoard mode?).
  • Over run is what beast mode in 3 should've been except the other players control the COG, survival is horde, free for all is what it says, domination is KOH with 3 rings that stay in place no random rings around weapons, TDM is score based 1st team to 50 wins which takes the fast paced action out of the game, when you die you get spawned in random places all over the damn

  • After i read a lot of bad reviews I was thinking twice of buying this game
  • but I think many of the other negative reviews said exactly what I was thinking
  • If it didnt have the Gears title behind it, I think it would have recieved much better reviews
  • Super short review and yes im a huge fan of the first 3

Reviews around people (2.03 of 5)

  • People complain about this game because is really different from the others, but i think thats really te point of a game, you alredy have played gears saga... do you still want to play the same thing???
  • i dont know why people are bashing it just because its a different version of gears
  • When you take an epic franchise and let the scoring system overshadow the campaign, many people aren't going to like it
  • The people complaining that its short probably played it on normal
  • I'm sorry that so many people can't just sit back and enjoy a great game.

Reviews around gnasher (2.03 of 5)

  • I was not thrilled with ANY of the games in this series, as you die in EVERY section played and the chainsaw bayonet fails practically EVERY time I tried to use it on an enemy ... in all 3 games
  • the gnasher on overrun is slower and you have to shoot 2 times to kill someone, and if you kill the tickers in front of you u dont get any damage
  • Another part that they screwed up with is with the power of the notorious Gnasher

Reviews around lack (1.67 of 5)

  • My biggest complaint with Judgement, and the reason I gave it 4 stars is the lack of content, maps, and modes at launch
  • The biggest frustration is the lack of the 4 weapon series staple, Where as you could have an Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol, and Non-Lethal Grenade you may now only have one Non-Lethal Grenade, One pistol, and Either an Assault Rifle or Shotgun
  • However, this mode has several weaknesses, not the least of which is an egregious spike in difficulty from wave to wave, and as mentioned before, lack of on-disc content
  • probably the worst offence being the lack of characters,maps and modes to choose from
  • All in all, the campaign should satisfy gears fans and as for action lovers who want a bunch of uglys surrounding you with bullets going everywhere, you people will love this

Reviews around time limit (1.24 of 5)

  • You have to protect E-
  • you want to remove the fun from a game, add a time limit.
  • The time limit is "optional", if you want to intentionally play the game in a way that gets you a poor result
  • but if the COG can hold out until the time limit expires, they win
  • The campaign is sweet, fast, like the Declassified missions, to make the game tougher (wind, dust, time limit, specific weapons)

Reviews around cog (1.22 of 5)

  • Survival:Basically just a one team (COG only) version of Overrun
  • you are killed as a cog, and there isn't a medic around to revive you, or there actually may be one and they are just too dumb to revive you, it takes 12 seconds for you to respawn and get back to your post
  • the last round of Survival has no boss wave.----Overrun is "Cog Vs Locust PvP Beast-mode
  • I did not buy Gears judgment on Amazon but as I a devoted die hard COG, I feel it is my duty to warn fellow COGs and newbies of this garbage that microsoft let out
  • Paduk is really the only character I liked---and that's because HE doesn't like the COG, either

Reviews around flow (1.00 of 5)

  • Where the original gears had a number of acts where each act had a number of chapters with multiple checkpoints per chapter, Judgement is so short and cut off that every single checkpoint is a chapter, and after you reach each the flow of the game is interrupted by the stars system
  • The campaign is abysmal, this whole star rating system just interrupts the flow of the game overall
  • Constantly interrupts flow of combat.- Horrible control scheme; have been re-mapped
  • The use of Classified Missions, although they break the flow of the game, help amp up the action
