Gears of War Hands On Review

jayintune writes: "One of the writers from 2old2play had a chance to sit down with the multiplayer section of Gears Of War for a hands on review after a public screening of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The game comes off as a little less then stellar as the author sites controller issues and game mechanics as having some disappointing flaws. From the article, "I'll say this right off the top, the controls will take some getting used to. One of the biggest problems is there's more to think about in order to move your avatar around than in games like Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter. When to press A to get into cover is a timing issue. Sometimes you'll press it and expect to hit cover, but instead you'll roll because you weren't close enough to the wall." With some much riding on this game for Microsoft come the holiday season, lets hope they can fix some of these issues."
