So, Ice-T is cool right? Gears of War 3 certainly is, and Cliff Bleszinski outlines some brief details as to the plot of the campaign and jumps straight into the action. The cast seemed to be split into separate teams of four, no doubt to accommodate the addition of four player co-op play in the campaign. The huge monster in the trailer is, unfortunately the one that was in Gears 2, but it doesn’t look as awful this time around.
The demo ends with a pretty inventive way to kill a giant combustible sea creature (There’s a sentence I never thought I’d use) and leaves you wanting a lot more. It does show one new element, that being the mech suits which look pretty fun to use, seeing as your partner can take cover and shoot from behind them at the same time. This seems to a great way to take advantage of the extra two players as you can use the mechs for heavy offense and have someone to watch your back and keep enemies from flanking you. Gears of War 3 is shaping up to be the game to own for your 360 this year and you'll be able to on September 20th.
