“Gears of War” is the first game developed by Epic Games exclusively for
Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.
“Gears of War” thrusts gamers 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.

In this third-person tactical action/horror game, players live and breathe
the role of Marcus Fenix. A disgraced former war hero, Marcus seeks personal
redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warrior
fiends. Gamers immerse themselves in an experience so intensely emotional and
gut-wrenching that playing will be like controlling a blockbuster action movie.

“Gears of War” utilizes the breathtaking new Unreal Engine 3 to create
cinematic, high-definition visuals for a gaming experience that truly ushers in
the next generation. Gamers will experience beautifully rendered interactive
environments and characters so lifelike they appear to be made of flesh and
bone. The next-generation visuals create a world in which the tiniest detail is
vivid in the largest battle.

“Gears of War” unites next-generation technology with classic, emotional
storytelling and a revolutionary tactical combat system, engrossing the gamer in
a horrifying epic story of war and survival.
