Gears of War!
I got annother copy of Gears of War. It is SO much better than what I remembered. This is my Gears of War review.
You start off in a prison cell. It is dark, dirty, and there are monsters above you drooling, the only thing that devides you from them is the weak iron grate. All of the sudden someone kicks the door infront of you; it is your friend Dom Santiago. With him is a robot. His name is Jack. He opens doors that you cannot, he uses his laser to cut through. Dom throws a bag at you and tells you to “Put it on.” That is a detailed entrance, now to talk about the game.
Your name is Macrus Felix, a convicted soldier. Your world has been taken over by the Locust. Locust are like a light green colored alien with huge fangs, and with clothes on. There are Five Levels. Sounds small, doesn’t it? Well, each level has five or six parts to it. If you haven’t played it before, each level will take about two or three hours. I know someone is going to say “l0l nub i beet ech levl in leik 30 mins on my 1st tyme!!@!” Well guess what? You’re lying. 8)
Everywhere you go on Gears of War is dirty, broken, and full of locust. The locust growl, which is annoying, and the Wretches; a type of locust, S C R E E C H S O LOUD ! ! It actually is so loud, on the first level they break a whole bunch of windows.
I’ll take you through every kind of locust you can fight. (From weakest to hardest)
There are Grubs (That is what Macrus calls them), Wretches, Seeders, Berserkers, Boomers, Theron Guards, and the leader; General RAAM.
Grubs; They’re stupid really. They’re weak, but they can pack a punch. With the Shotgun, it takes two Melee attacks, or a good placed shot to kill them on Casual (easy).
Wretches; These things are the Grunts of Gears of War. Just Melee them (on casual and hardcore, I forgot about Insane).
Seeders; These things you actually don’t even have to get near to. Just take your Hammer of Dawn and kill it with two long hits.
Berserkers; I’d be lying if I would be telling you that these things are easy. They’re actually very tough. It is very annoying when you have to kill these things. The intro of the first time you meet the first Berserker is extremely brutal. It gave my 6-year old cousin nightmares, so keep children away.
Boomers; Big huge Locust, annoying and very slow too. Did I mention they’re very stupid? Well, they are. They have the Boomshot, which is like a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher at the same time. Every time they shoot, just a little before they will say “Boom.”
Theron Guards; I hate these things. They’re freaking annoying and tough at the same time. They’re armed with the Torque Bow; the best weapon in the game. just one hit with this will kill you.
General RAAM; The boss of the game, and the hardest part of the game. You will need the Longshot to kill this guy, he’s slow as a Boomer and he is just as stupid. Now here you can’t just shoot and hope he dies, no no no. You have to go and stand in a dark area so he sends his Kryll protection from you. You’ll see what Kryll are in the next one.
Kryll; A flying locust that come out at night. You need a light on you and around you at all times at night or they will come and eat you. Light is your friend on this game. Also, they’re only about five or six inches long, so there is about a hundred that will come at you at a time. There is NO escaping once they are on you, unless you get to some light in time. It takes actually about 0.8 seconds for them to kill you, so you’re lucky if you get to light.
There are also COG tags in each level too. They’re glowing neon-blue, and they’re hidden. It is hard to find them… unless you have a guide. 8) But they are easy to find if you look places.
Well, that about wraps it up, hope you enjoy!
