Gears of War, overrated or 10/10?

I finally got the chance to play Gears of War for my first time today, and I played it through all the way until the last encounter, which I'll spare until tomorrow. So the question is, did it became overrated, or is it really a 10/10? I'll try to post about my final verdict tomorrow.

Now I'll have to take a short nap until I start work in approximately 4 hours.
