This time i review the epic conclusion to the original Gears trilogy can this game recreate the success of it's successor? or is Geatrs 4 more of a step back?
let's find out!
WARNING- THIS REVIEW CONTAIS GEARS OF WAR 2 SPOILERS- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Right guys, lets start off with a rant.
Earler on this weekend Halo Combat Evoilved: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4 has been released to backwards compatibility. Now, I have personally tried all of the said games on their Backwards Compatibility versions. To be brutally honest, i don't like it at all. The frame rate on these games are atrocious, it really struggled to keep it above 30 fps (frames per second), which made me play a load worse.
But my biggest issue is that the superior version is there already! through Halo: the Master Chief Collection! This takes better advantage of the extra hardware power that the Xbox One has, this version runs at a silky smooth 60 fps, which does benefit your accuracy!
In my honest opinion, the group of people that are truly benefiting from this is the minority of players who only has an Xbox 360. It's now 2017 The Xbox One has been released for 4 years now. By now, the majority of players has made the jump to Xbox One by now.
Anyway onto the review!
Like i said before, this game pulls the Gears of war story to a conclusion. Jacincto was destroyed, after the death of Domanic Santiago's wife, Maria still hits him hard emotionally. Marcus Fenix's father Adam sends a message to Marcus, telling him he's alive, and knows a way to defeat the genocidal Lambant and Locust, so it's up to Marcus and his rag-tag squad mates to find Adam save him and defeat the Lambant!
The accessibility scores are as follows-
Visibility 9
This is where the differences between this game and it's predecessor (not in a good way) there's no colourblind modes. I understand the contrast is red and blue, but like i said time, and time again it should be addressed!
But you can use the standard tac com system, if you hold LB your teammates' locations are represented by icons. But as i said, a colorblind mode would solve this issue!
Audibility 10
There's in-game subtitles present, so you can understand what's going on in the campaign. and on screen notifications are present when events like your teammate is down and objective status are shown on the screen.
Mobility 10
There's numerous stick and button layouts to chose from, so you can pick which is best for your impairments.
Gameplay 10
To be honest, this game brings the entire story very well, and the multiplayer is very good. Beast Mode is like Horde mode, but in reverse, you play as the Locust.
Plus there's a host of versus gametypes to duke it out with other players over Xbox Live, so there's plenty lifespan to it.But i still say Gears 2 is my favorite game in the series!
OVERALL SCORE 97.5%
see you guys in the next review
SpartanCommander1990 out!
