Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Review
Somewhere between a remake and a remaster, the work done to the original Gears of War is evident at every turn. You'll come to see the impressive new coat of paint, but you'll stay for the timeless multiplayer.
80%Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Review
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a fine Xbox One remastering of a classic, important, Xbox 360 game, but it could have been so much more.
70%Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Review
The campaign has aged pretty poorly and the graphical updates to the campaign side of Gears of War feel half-baked, so unless you're really excited for the competitive part of Gears of War, there's nothing for you here.
