Gears of War Reloaded review – a compromised update of a classic shooter

It’s the feel of Gears of War that matters. Marcus Fenix controls like a bipedal tank with weak brakes. He lumbers through battlefields, the screen wobbling drunkenly when he breaks into a sprint, and slams into waist-high barriers when it’s time to take cover. His bullets thud into enemy bodies like an axe into thick wood, and the guns make a satisfying clacking noise when properly reloaded.
