Gears Of War

I never expected to be done so quickly. I just started this game yesterday and I just defeated the last boss today. I didn't even know it was the last boss, I thought it was an annoying boss that was in the way of my destination. The game itself is far from my expectations of it, both in a good way and bad.

I remember when I first heard about this game and looked at their webpage. As the main character gave a small briefing of the monsters while he talked inside a cell with nothing but a small box of matches. There is a lot of things that I hope they will explain in the future Gears Of War 2 such as where these things came from, why they want war and even these out cast who live as homeless colony within cities.

I had a couple of issues with controls like when he is ducking and sometimes if you move to get a better cover or better aim he will all of a sudden stand. Or how it's hard to get a clear cut with the chainsaw. I will pretty much try to button mash the chainsaw button trying to activate but to no affect. I also found Hammer of Dawn too much of an advantage, and the satellite position seems to be always in the right when it is needed.

Also the NPC I just want to smack if they aren't randomly jumping over things they are rushing ahead to either be shot down or myself shooting them. At other times when I need them they wont even come over from there hiding spot to pitch in and I am stuck taking down a swarm myself.

Listening to your teammates is like listening to 20 year olds, they swear and pretty much make fun of everyone's mom, a lot of the time seem to not take the war serious. The only person who is serious is Marcus. But they are funny and I couldn't help but laugh at some of their conversations.

I guess I should consider myself lucky to start this game so late, so now it's fresh in my mind as Gears of War 2 comes out very soon.
