Gears of War 3
Gears of War 3
Gears of War 3, développé par Epic Games et édité par Microsoft Studios, est sorti le 20 septembre 2011 sur Xbox 360. Ce jeu de tir, propulsé par l'Unreal Engine 3, conclut la saga initiale en plaçant le joueur dans la peau de Marcus Fenix, chef du Delta Squad, dix-huit mois après la chute de la dernière ville humaine alors que la guerre contre les Locust se poursuit et qu'une nouvelle menace infecte la planète depuis les profondeurs. La campagne principale est estimée à neuf heures et demie, contre dix-neuf heures et demie pour une approche complétiste, et le titre affiche une note moyenne agrégée de 89,25.
L'accueil critique s'est révélé favorable, la presse saluant notamment la capacité du jeu à clore la série de manière marquante : Giant Bomb a relevé qu'il répond aux questions en laissant les choses dans un état très différent de celui du début, tandis que Joystiq y a vu une élégie puissante pour une série ayant défini la génération de consoles. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont qualifié ce volet de suite parfaite et techniquement époustouflante, tout en regrettant qu'il soit en deçà du deuxième opus, notamment en raison du sacrifice de Dom.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It answers questions. It leaves things in a dramatically different place than they were at the start of the game. If this were to be the final game in the Gears franchise, it'd be a satisfying place to leave things. »
« On one side, it represents a powerful elegy, a close to a series that has done much to define this console generation. It's a melancholy thing, seeing a solid conclusion for characters that a lot of us liked despite ourselves, that make themselves even more understood in the end. But Gears of War 3 does it with respect and grace, and even subtlety, for a fantastic experience from start to finish. And it bestows a postscript of one of the most full featured, fun, and polished multiplayer experiences I've ever played. »
« It's the great bump in visual quality, the diverse and engaging campaign that never lets up, and a universe that finally catches your interest that impresses the most. »
« It's almost impossible to overlook this third episode. Pushing the boundaries even further, the solo campaign is a satisfying conclusion to the story. In terms of multiplayer, it's obvious that Epic delivers the best episode yet, both in terms of fun and richness. Overall, it's more accessible, all the while keeping enough details for the hardcore to enjoy it, in solo play, co-op, or competitive play. For what more can one ask? »
« It comes packed with visceral gun-battles, ear-splitting explosions, bucketloads of blood and you use a good old-fashioned control-pad to play it. Oh, and it's also one of the best games released all year. »
« Gears of War 3 is the game all Gears Fans have dreamt of since playing the first title back in 2006. »
« The evidence is indisputable: Gears of War 3 is the ultimate realization of the Xbox 360 console, much in the same way Halo 2 was for the original Xbox. It maximizes the hardware's horsepower; boasts a fully featured, seamless online experience that serves up both competitive and cooperative gameplay; and it's enduringly replayable online or off. Quite simply, Gears of War 3 leaves no stone unturned - it's everything a triple-A blockbuster should be. »
« It's a great shooter and a great video game in general. It caps off the trilogy extremely well, perhaps better than any recent video game trilogy that I can think of. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« A sequel that works perfectly. As the final chapter of the original trilogy, it manages to evolve and thrill. Technically stunning, with gameplay that’s even more polished than before. »
« Not as good as GOW 2 but definitely still a classic! Just can’t get over Dom’s sacrifice. »
« Gears of War 3 – 9.5/10 - A powerful conclusion to the original trilogy, delivering refined gameplay and a deeply emotional narrative. The stakes feel higher, and the character arcs reach satisfying resolutions. Combat is smoother than ever, with varied enemy types and strong co-op design. Horde and Beast modes add depth to multiplayer. It balances action and heart masterfully, making it one of the series’ peaks. »
« One of my all-time favorites. I love everything about it. I really hope it gets a movie adaptation. »
