A lot of gamers love Gears of War so here is a list of games that imitate that gaming style in the MMO genre.
Who Wants A Gears Of War MMO?
Let’s face it, the original Gears of War was a good concept that got boring fast. The sequel fared better but was still lacking in certain creative avenues. Nevertheless, it was a fun game for what it was worth but a lot of people would love to see Gears of War as an MMO. The epic-scaled story about a post-apocalyptic war and the battle to save humanity screams for an action-MMO rendition, but since that isn’t happening anytime soon we just have to get stuck with Gears of War MMO-clones.
Now, I don’t think many gamers would mind clones for one of the best selling action franchises of all time, so here is a list for some of the noteworthy MMOTPS games out there (and coming soon) that imitate Epic’s Gears of War.
No. 5: Huxley
This is probably the least clone-worthy Gears of War game on this list. However, due to the lack of other games fitting the bill Huxley was picked to fill in this last spot. Nevertheless, running on the Unreal Engine 3 tech, some could call Huxley a close MMOFPS cousin of Gears of War. The major difference, however, is that Huxley is more-so oriented as an Unreal Tournament-style shooter rather than a brute force, visceral shooting game like Gears of War. Nevertheless, the game sports similar hulking characters, futuristic but recognizable weapons and a visual style that’s a cross between Final Fantasy meets, well, Gears of War.

No. 4: CrimeCraft
While it may not have the best of review scores out there, the “bad word of mouth” really has nothing to do with the in-game play. In fact, CrimeCraft has one of the most well constructed third-person shooter mechanics out there. Players can utilize a lot of in-game objects for cover, pick off foes with well-placed headshots, and use a variety of intense looking weapons in a crime-ridden future. The problem is that the game has very little to offer for non-paying gamers. Nevertheless, if you can find a way to live with the pay-to-play model you’ll at least find a decent over-the-should MMO shooting game in CrimeCraft.
