Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Reviews
'Gears of War: Ultimate Edition' is not a mere port, but a labor of love a long time in the making. The price tag is a bit steep with much of the new content geared towards multiplayer aficionados, but this is a lovely showing of Delta Squad on the One.
The Ultimate Edition, even with its facelift, is pretty much more of the same, and will only appeal to series fans and possibly rein in newcomers just in time for a Gears of War 4 release. For a Gears of War fan, however, this remastered edition is a must-own for your library. Marcus has never looked more intense, the Kryll have never looked more terrifying, and the Locust have never looked more disgusting. The Ultimate Edition truly is the ultimate Gears of War experience.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition showcases how a remaster should be done by redoing all the cinematics, campaign levels, multiplayer maps and adding a bunch of extra content- all in 1080p at either 30fps or 60fps. It also gives choice and flexibility to the players with the Backwards Compatibility titles, making this the ultimate package for fans and newcomers alike.
Nostalgia and affection for a classic like Gears of War is powerful. The aesthetics, music, and gameplay of this title largely defined the industry. Even if I put all of that aside, this is a stellar, solid, fun video game that offers tons of content and hours of healthy entertainment. If you have never played this game, the purchase is a must. If you are a veteran, I promise you will not regret returning to Sera and exploring its ruinous beauty. You will play with a smile from ear to ear when remembering so many epic moments. Thank you, The Coalition.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has the right name. It's an ultimatum edition of the game that won us over nine years ago, keeps everything good, adds a few innovations and updates the game to stand still today.

Gears fans, as well as those new to the series, will be satisfied with this "Ultimate Edition" offers, as it's way more then just an HD remake.
You won't see any major improvements outside of the visuals, but it's the minor improvements across the board that makes this game an incredible shooter.
It may not be perfect, but Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is certainly a game worth playing. There is plenty of value to be had, no matter if you are a Gears fanatic or someone who is brand new to the series. Just make sure to experience it with a friend at your side.
A great remastering job that brings the first Gears of War to life, offering its best side. Only minor minor flaws keep you from excellence.

If anyone reading this has a One but hasn't experienced Gears first hand, this is a must buy right before the rush of the holiday releases really gets going in a month or so. For long time Gear heads, I still think this is a worthy hard drive partition, and makes retiring the 360 from your HDMI ports that much easier.
Gears' strong style and great gameplay make it enjoyable even today, nine years after the original was released.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition brings back the action and excitement we enjoyed in the original with improved graphics and a fun gaming experience.

The Coalition's visually upgraded version of Epic Games' classic shooter is an optical treat content to preserve the original's (now slightly clunky) mechanics
Taking advantage of a title that no longer needs to be proven, The Coalition signs an essential appetizer for Gears of War 4. We find all the enthusiasm and elements that contributed to the success of Gears of War ago almost 10 years now. All carried by a remaster rarely seen since the launch of the new-gen consoles. If you are a fan of the saga or want to discover it, it is impossible to miss this little nugget that is Gears of War Ultimate Edition.

This is the start of it all, and better than it originally released in most aspects.
Ultimate Edition proves what an outstanding game Gears of War was and is. It's a meticulously-crafted remake, and the online modes are exemplary. Even if you've played the original, it's well worth a look.
While they already had excellent source material to work with, The Coalition has given us the definitive Gears experience.
Locust-capping at its finest
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition keeps the heart of the 2006 release and reimagines it for the new generation. With remastered 1080p visuals and 60 FPS multiplayer it is a well recommended title to anyone's Xbox One collection. Whether you're a new player to the franchise or a returning veteran you'll soon find yourself gnashing grubs and stomping nubs in no time.
