Gears of War 3

The most action game for gamers around the world. This game is in my favourite list. It has all the guts which a gamer needs. Gears of War 3 is a third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Studios exclusively for the Xbox 360. The game released on September 20, 2011.

The action itself hasn’t changed much, but that doesn’t mean it’s not ridiculously fun. It is really one thing Gears has always excelled at is mixing up action sequences so you don’t feel like you’re just running into firefight after firefight. At the core of the game is cover-based combat, but there are also mech suits, rocket turrets, stealth missions, and a couple of new weapons to keep you busy. One such weapon is the difficult to wield Butcher Cleaver, which is ludicrously large and awesome. Then there’s the One Shot, which is like the familiar Longshot sniper rifle – except you don’t have to hit an enemy in the head to kill them with a single bullet.

Playing Mechanism

The game braughts a survival experience to the players. Your fighter can carry up to four weapons including a pistol, grenades and two firearms. When in combat, the player can take some damage from enemy fire, filling a blood-colored "crimson omen" on the HUD as a measure of the player's health, unlike the traditional health bar in other shooters. When the player is hurt, it makes it "Bleed Out Period". Now you must bring the fighter to a ally otherwise he will die. Some types of damage, such as explosives or head shots, can kill the player immediately without the bleed-out period.

Menu of Gears of War 3

Menu of the Game

Main menu shows glowing crimson omen in the back ground, which seems to be made of pulsating veins, or some other kind of organic material. The background music is a combination of several looping sound effects, all of which work harmoniously with the ominous background image. Epic has expanded from the red and black scheme and has made things on screen more appealing and easier on the eyes. This principle is consistent and present in actual game play as well.

Controls of the Game

Controls

In the Controller options screen, you can invert the X and Y axis, vibration as well as three different kinds of movement sensitivities, which are on a scale of 0 (which is lowest) and 15 (which is the highest). Look Sensitivity governs how fast or slow your character turns. Target determines the your turning speed while aiming and Zoom does the same, for when you use any weapons with zooming or scoping capabilities. For high level and more competitive play, or those are who more than familiar with the previous games, I recommend setting all three sensitivities to 15. Epic has added something new called Omnidirectional Evade. In my opinion, this is big change to the game.
