With over 30 Game of the Year awards and more than 5 million copies sold, Gears of War® is one of the most popular and critically-reviewed Xbox 360 games of all time.

Gears of War thrusts you into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. Gears of War unites the latest technology with classic, emotional storytelling and a revolutionary tactical combat system, engrossing the gamer in a horrifying larger-than-life story of war and survival.

Engaging and disturbing cinematic story: Movie-like cut scenes, cinematic camera moves and in-game storytelling bring the brutal, emotionally charged narrative to life.

Never fight alone: Lead your ragtag squad as Marcus Fenix, or recruit a friend to play squad mate Dominic Santiago and complete the full cinematic campaign cooperatively—online or off.

Xbox LIVE Action: Dominate online in Human vs. Locust squad-based multiplayer. Eliminate downed enemies with a kick to the head or a taste of your chainsaw bayonet.
