Gamereactor Norway:
"One can easily argue that Gears of War 2 is more of the same. Locust come on a conveyor belt, and Marcus and Dom have to shoot them all to konfetti. At the same time, one can also argue that Gears of War 2 is a dramatically different game than the original. Everything is bigger. Surroundings. Battles. Story. And thus it is no longer the intense focus on tactical fights against closed three to four to five enemies."
The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?
Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.
My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)
Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.
2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.
The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.
I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Judgement
I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.
I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.
Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.
It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.
Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.
Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.
Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.
I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.
1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.
They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.
My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement
Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.
For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement
One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.
Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
The Gears of War franchise's influence has remained to this day with cover systems becoming as ubiquitous as regenerating health. With a new console generation upon us, it's time to list the series from worst to best.

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
...and I'm sure that it deserves it; but nowadays, I just can't seem to trust reviewers anymore.
I really can't. If I can get my hands on a demo, then I won't even read a review seriously. I hope all games get demos. Anyone who plays games can get a feel on how a game will be by playing it a few minutes. It's not rocket science, ladies and gentlemen.
A review gets too much bias involved, so forget them. I just want to play a good game, not have to deal with some overpaid nerd that has a personal agenda against Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony. Those days are done.
Many games so far have conflicting reviews, which states that the minor details are chocked-up to opinion. Unfortunately most people aren't rich enough to even rent or buy a game on faith because of the economy, so a review is their bread and butter if a game has no demo.
The problem is that today, most people are too dependent on reviewers and not confident enough to use their own judgment, which is a sad commentary on the general state of the general public's cognitive prowess. If you need someone to tell you how to think, why be surprised if you are not really happy with your purchase at the end of the day. So learn to think for yourself, don't have someone tell you what to get and how to feel about what you have.
Having experienced this election, I think these reviewers are just conditioning kids to have their opinions dictated to them now, so when they are adults they will be easier to manage and market to.
You can only play 360 or PS3! Don't cross the line!
You can only vote Republican or Democrat! Don't cross the line!
Yeah, sound like the same thing to me; especially since most people have a Wii and are Progressive. ; )
GO NORWAY!!!
