Summary:
Basically, Gears of War is about the near future in which Earth has been invaded by a force of monsters which emerge from underground. These invaders, called "Locust", continue to annihilate most of the human race and destroy most civilization. The user plays a soldier named Marcus Fenix who, along with his squad, attempts to destroy the underground network of tunnels in which the locusts dwell and thereby rid the earth of them once and for all.
Gameplay:
From the moment I began playing, I was enthralled by the storyline and soon became engulfed in it as I began to play more. Soon enough, more and more epic shit was happening which made it so I couldn't stop playing because I wanted to know whether the resonator would actually destroy the locusts' civilization. The storyline is definitely essential to the game's success and it's clearly evident why once you start playing it.
The game at first was nothing more than a shooter, but as the game went on, I found that parts of it were actually scary. I was actually scared to go around corners for fear of radioactive wretches popping out and screeching before jumping and killing me. This fact about the game made it much more appealing than just any ordinary shooter because it actually had my heart-rate up and made me literally jump multiple times when something such as the lights suddenly went out and eerie creature noises filled the room. This dark aspect to the game definitely gave the game a more edge of your seat quality.
