With Gears of War: I-Ultimate Edition ngaphandle, ingabe i-Gears of War yokuqala yokuqala iwufanelekile ukudlala? Kufanelekile ukuxoxa, engikukwenzile lapha ekubuyekezeni kwami kwe-Retro yeGears of War 2, umlandeli webhayisikili omnandi kusuka ku-Epic ngokwawo - bona ukuthi ungumdlalo uzofuna ukudlala futhi noma cha!
Lapho kumenyezelwe umkhankaso, sazi nje ukuthi okwesibili kungaba yinto enhle. Futhi kwakudingeka kube, ngoba nakuba i-Gears yokuqala yayiyi-third-person shooter, yayinezinkinga zayo, okungukuthi kubadlali abaningi. Kwathembiswa ukuthi konke esikuzondayo kuzoba ukugijima kwemilingo ku-COLE TRAIN, BABY! Maye, izinkinga ezifanayo ezahlupha i-Gears yasekuqaleni zisaphila. Nakuba kunjalo okufanayo, kungcono ... okufanayo okufanayo.
Nokho, ungakhathazeki. Lokhu akuyona neze into embi, njengoba i-Gears yasekuqaleni ihlala ingomunye wabadlali abahamba phambili (futhi omunye wabathandayo) ku-360 kuze kube manje. Ama-Gear of War 2 alandela, kodwa lezo zinguquko sathembiswa? Zibonakala njengezintambo zikaFenix. Kodwa-ke, lokho okusele kusekhona isikhathi esisibuko se-visceral, eluhlaza, ne-chainsawin. Izibuyekezo ezibonakalayo zenza uhambo lwakho lonke i-bloodier, futhi lokho okushiwo yi-adventure ngempela.
Setha izinyanga eziyisithupha emva kwezehlakalo eziseGear zokuqala, sitshela ngemuva kokuhluleka kwesibhamu se-Lightmass. Ngokungavumelekile, i-Locust iyahamba yonke indawo, ijikeleza yonke indawo. Manje kukhona ngisho nangaphezulu kwabo, ezinhlanganweni eziningi ezinamandla kakhulu. Bahlome ngisho nezikhali ezilinganiselwe (okuyiqiniso). Shiya kuDelta Squad ukuvikela iplanethi Sera kusukela kukho konke okuyikho, kufaka phakathi abaqashile abasha ama-Locust hordes aseyitholile.
Ukuthatha isambatho sikaMarcus Fenix futhi, i-Gears 2 izwa ngokwengeziwe njengokunwetshwa kweGears 1 kunokuba umdlalo omusha ngokuphelele. Izilawuli zimeleke ngendlela efanayo ngendlela ababekade beyiyo, futhi i-Lancer uzizwa njengomngane omdala. Kodwa-ke, kunemibono embalwa. Izitha ezazingabonakali esihlokweni esedlule manje seziphelelwe ngamandla, njengeBrakaks ne-Corpsers.
Uzobe ulwa amathani namathani amaningi ama-drones ajwayelekile ajwayelekile, kodwa izimpi jikelele zizwa sengathi kukhona umzamo wokufaka impendulo ethi "WOW!" Kusuka kumdlali esikhundleni sokuzijabulisa nge-gameplay eqinile. Impi yegceke elihle kakhulu iqala ukubheka izinzwa zazo ngobukhulu nobukhulu kanye nesamba esikhulu seLocust ethunyelwe ukuzinakekelwa. Lokhu kwakuyindawo eyodwa engangizizwa ngayo ukuthi umdlalo wokuqala wahlushwa - izitha eziningi kakhulu ngesikhathi esisodwa, endaweni eyodwa, okwenza umdlalo uzizwe njengomsebenzi wokubona isikhathi eside lapho izilwane kunoma iyiphi indawo enomuzwa wokuthi ziphoqelelwe ukuba zihlasele.
Nakuba i-gameplay eyinhloko ifana, kuye kwaba nezengezo ezintsha kwi-arsenal, kanye nezinqubo zokuzivikela. Isibonelo, ama-meatshields manje ayatholakala ukuze asebenzise, okubandakanya ukusebenzisa isitha njengesihlangu sakho siqu. Lokhu kujabulisa futhi kuyindlela enhle yokubuyela emuva empini ehlupha iSera. Ngenye yezingxenye ze-funnier, kimi, ukuthi ngiziphindiselele kwezinye izidalwa ezingathandeki kakhulu. Futhi njengoba enye yezingqikithi eziphakathi kweGears ibilokhu ihlanganisiwe, kukhona okunye okuzoyisebenzisa manje. Kodwa manje sinezimo ezithile zekhava leselula, njenge-Boomshield, ikhava ehoxisiwe, ne-Rockworm.
Ukusebenzisa i-Rockworm uzizwa ungavamile futhi ungajwayelekile, kodwa i-Boomshield iyamangalisa ngokumelene nezitha ezingazi ukuthi yini ophetheyo ingase ivikele wena kanye nayo. Kuyanelisa ukuhambela esixukwini sabo ngenkathi beqhubeka bethatha amahlumela angenamsebenzi kuwe. Ngokuqondene nokuhamba kahle, ukuhamba phakathi kukaRoadie kugijimela, futhi ukumane nje ukumboza kuyabukeka kahle kakhulu manje. Kodwa-ke, isazizwa kabi kimi emdlalweni othatha ukunyakaza okuqondile, nokuzibophezela ngenkathi uzifunayo hhayi okwesibili kamuva.
Kodwa-ke, ukuphela kuwela phansi, futhi kubonakala sengathi kwakuwumzamo ophuthumayo wokuhlanganisa umdlalo ukuze nje usheshe futhi ukhululeke. Lokhu kuyinhloko enkulu enginayo nomdlalo wonke. Ngokungavumelekile kuyoba neGear of War 3, kodwa akudingeki ukuba yenzeke ngokucacile. Ngalokho kusho, lo mkhankaso wawumnandi, nakuba ubufushane (izenzo ezinhlanu ezinde) okwenzeka kakhulu emgodini wegeyimu yangempela, futhi lokho kwakudumaza kakhulu.
