Completed Baird's Testimony and reached the fifth mission under Sofia's Testimony. I love the way the narrative style gameplay in this one plus the declassified missions.

The only problem is, the game seems to be just another gears title with just loads of locust and lambent forces spawning every now and then. :(
 
I am done with this.
Reached 13th level and got some 60 stars. I didn't opted for declassified on all missions.
Any shooting those locusts were fun. IMO just another gow game.
 
Completed Sofia's Testimony and midway through Paduk's testimony. :P

The courtroom drama is hilarious sometimes. :lol:
 
Done with the title and the additional content - Aftermath. Must have clocked roughly 8 hours or so for the entire campaign. Got 92 stars towards the end of the campaign. Barring a few Declassified missions, I attempted the rest. Some of them were genuinely challenging. For instance, using only the Boltok pistol or the Gnasher and Sawed-off for clearing a particular level.

The overall experience however, was strictly average. It was as if we get to face waves and waves of enemies while going from point A to B through several checkpoints. And some courtroom trial drama between each chapter. That's about it. It was nowhere close to Gears 3 or any other previous title. Pretty sure the reviews are going to be average. The 2 hour long Aftermath campaign OTOH was a bit different and involved some action. As always, Cole was his usual self - hilarious with his punchy dialogues. :lol:

They should have priced the disc suitably. Somewhere around 1.6k would have been more appropriate. Instead they choose to price it at 3k! Paying 3k for an 8 hour game? No way in hell I am going to do that. :|

*yawn*

Just completed the game and never have I been so bored to death playing a Gears of War title. Heck, I wouldn't fathom attaching the word "bored" with a Gears title, until now. Let's get something straight, if you're looking for a Single Player experience, skip this entirely, as Judgement is nothing but a full fledged Horde mode. Dull story, dull characters, dull voice acting....need I go on? You get the picture.

Aftermath was again slightly bearable. But it still couldn't wash over the effect of the 7 hour horde battle. I think EPIC/People Can Fly should probably look into developing another franchise now. That goes double for all the other game franchises, which are now hitting their third game mark. Seriously, this has got to stop. 3 is the sweet spot for sequels. I mean there is an absolute limit to the amount of abuse a franchise can take, post that, it starts to stink worse than a rotting Horse's corpse.

Stay away from this title, if you're looking for an enriched SP experience. MP is probably a different ball game though.
