Gears of War: E-Day campaign review: a spectacular first act

PCGamesN published a campaign review of Gears of War: E-Day without a final score, as multiplayer has not been tested yet. The opening hour is called the series' best start, showing Emergence Day before the action settles into a more traditional Gears style.

• The first hour is described as the most blockbuster-feeling Xbox exclusive
• After Act 1 the game returns to a traditional Gears of War style
• Weapons feel weighty, and players get four lives per checkpoint
• A full scored review will follow after multiplayer testing
