Just over a month of the first DLC pack to Command Horde that are reviewed at this address and that for various reasons we just do not persuaded, and a couple of weeks after the publication of Free Versus Booster map pack, that's is about to head on Xbox Marketplace dedicated to the first downloadable content for single player Gears of War 3 . RAAM's Shadow suggests a mini-campaign set before the beginning of the saga, through which we can take a look at some events that until now there had been told.

The new venture puts some conditions for the first Gears of War taking place in an already besieged by locusts Evening. They dress the role of Michael Barrick, a character appeared in comic books inspired by the saga, in the Zeta team, so in the company of two soldiers that we have seen appear (and disappear) in Gears of War and Gears of War 2 : Minh Young Kim and Tai Kaliso. Rounding out the quartet, which of course you can control the whole co-op, we think a character novel, that Alicia Valera. Moreover, as has long been known, this adventure offers the opportunity to dress up for short stretches of bad clothes, checking a agguerritissimo General RAAM and his thugs in tow. The phases at the controls of the massive locust which served as the final boss in the first Gears of War will not make as perhaps might be expected, a separate adventure, but when you enter the story, breaking the rhythm of the mission with variations of gameplay.

RAAM, of course, you do not control as a normal COG: in his infinite arrogance, attacks the enemy armed only with machetes enormous, not only of their exposures Kryll course, you can send around with a blow on the trigger, as if they were rifle round. Associated with the use of a special marker is pipistrellazzi that signals the charge, as well as a mechanical risk based on the fact that, by shooting at the enemy, one is robbed of their protection. Clearly, some of nature '"bolsa" of his movements, the stages where you control RAAM are if possible even more static than the usual standards of the series and not to rely entirely on the case to reach different locations on the map and to defend that its companions have not completed the installation of Seeder, placed there to obscure the sky at night and leave the field open to Kryll. The result is certainly fascinating sections for the simple fact of being loved playing a character, probably the most successful boss in the series, but also very exciting at the front of the gameplay. If you are starting from galvanized pure brute power of the character, the distance of the repetitive and static situations take over. It is still acceptable and a diversion from the right length, not to mention that at the level of difficulty up the challenge he can be demanding, despite the power out of RAAM scale than any human.
