X-Play's Adam Sessler sits down, 1-on-1, with Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski as they discuss the new features of the highly anticipated Gears of War 2.
The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?
Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.
My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)
Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.
2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.
The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.
I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Judgement
I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.
I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.
Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.
It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.
Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.
Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.
Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.
I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.
1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.
They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.
My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement
Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.
For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement
One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.
Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
The Gears of War franchise's influence has remained to this day with cover systems becoming as ubiquitous as regenerating health. With a new console generation upon us, it's time to list the series from worst to best.

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
Queers of Bore is Microsoft's last ditch effort to deliver a title that's worth it's merit in the midst of the PLAYSTATION®3 onslaught. It looks as if Cliff seems disappointed after his team found what the power of PLAYSTATION®3 provides developers. He's clearly aware that Gears of War 2 would be leaps and bounds better on the PLAYSTATION®3.
Sony Snipers are looking to have an excellent fall with a plethora of AAA titles being released for a wide variety of audiences. Microslaves will have only one title and this is looking worse by the minute.
Enjoy your Gears of Bore 2.

...i wonder what he was watching in the morning...
ninja gaiden 2 looks good, almost like heavenly sword with more blood
The pure hate from the troll that is Sniper is nothing more than hate of a scolded woman.. Don't worry Snipe you can buy a 360 and join the fun too.. Sony wont hate you for wanting to play the best games which they never seem to have anymore...
I loved Gears of War. It has the best multiplayer... really makes you work hard to get kills. LOL about the braveheart gameplay of FPS, that's me in a nutshell running head on to some dude screaming and shooting and trying desperately for a headshot but mostly missing the target completely. I lob some grenades but most of the time I end up killing myself. I jump occasionally but sure it might make you harder to hit... but it really puts off my aim. In short I am a noob. But I get a good laugh from watching myself. My pet hate though is snipers. They are so annoying. :( Damn them all! lol. Blocking and taking cover make games that more deeper and realistic and thoughtful. I have to say though sometimes I get so annoyed at the npcs in cover I just run out guns blazing get to their cover then chainsaw them or whatever. Seriously no one wants to spend forever waiting for some NPC to poke their head out. lol. I'm not a very strategic gamer. Back to work. Keep gaming everyone and love your multi-format brethren because ain't no one else understand your love of games like them.
