(PlanetXbox360) Fenix Rising DLC Review

Epic Games has released their fourth piece of Gears of War 3 DLC in as many months. The Fenix Rising pack includes 5 maps; 3 of which completely succeed and 2 of which fall short of expectations. In addition to the new multiplayer maps are 4 new character skins: Thrashball Cole, Recruit Clayton, Savage Marauder, and the Savage Kantus. And lastly, the Fenix Rising DLC allows players to “re-up” their ranks, giving the player the opportunity to start back at Lvl. 1, similar to the Prestige Mode in the Modern Warfare series. This latest add-on to Gears of War 3 comes with more hits than misses, with 3 maps that easily outshine the remaining 2. The maps are dissected in detail below, which should aid a player’s purchasing decision.
