Available today on Xbox LIVE for 1,200 Microsoft Points,RAAM’s Shadow, the second major game add-on forGears of War 3, delivers more than three hours of new campaign gameplay, and for the first time, features missions on both sides of the Locust war.
At long last, nearly three months after the game’s initial release, we FINALLY have our first taste of Gears of War 3 downloadable content. Not that we’re complaining, as Cliff Bleszinski and his squad at Epic Games have promised us heaping handfuls of goodness to send off the conclusive trilogy marker in style. Leading the pack as the first of many downloadable pieces to the saga is RAAM’s Shadow, a game that puts you in control of both members of Zeta Squad and the much-feared boss from the original Gears game. It’s a little uneven here and there, but fans are sure to welcome it with open, bruised arms. The events in Shadow take place before the original Gears adventure, with the Locust horde raising havoc in the city of Ilima. The Kryll, a bunch of lethal bird-like creatures who devour anyone that isn’t protected by light, are slowly taking over the place, with the help of the Locust Horde forces.
In addition to fighting as a new squad of Gears, players will step into the boots of RAAM himself and do the unthinkable: storm a human stronghold from the perspective of one of the series’ most legendary bosses.
Gears of War 3has finally kept the promise the series made six years ago, and then some.
