Buy gears of war now so i can understand the story in the 2nd one?

Question

Ive heard really good things about gears of war and im thinking of buying it so i can understand the story for the second which comes out in november i think.

So should i buy it?

Answer 1

I think you should buy it, it's a great game with good graphics (gore/extreme). But, the story is good too, it's definitely something you need to buy to understand the second.

Answer 2

Well it is a really fun game and it is very entertaining but the story isn't very unexpected.  Big bad guy fight you, you kill big bad guy. Lol not much else to it but it is a VERY fun game and as far as the story goe syou should be able to pick it up its not rocket science :p

Answer 3

Buy it, the game is really fun.  

Answer 4

yes. i just beat gears of war and it is a badass game. its worth the buy

Answer 5

Rent it

Answer 6

GOW is a sick game, buy it for the game, not just for the storyline. I too am into story lines of games, but i buy them because they are good. Don't let the story line effect your decision. BUY THE GAME!!!

Answer 7

The story in gears 1 was pretty weak. It's still a good game so buy it if it is cheap and you have the cash.
