I thought this game was great. Although you need a pretty advanced computer to run it, overhauling your computer now a days is pretty cheep. Its what I did. I loved this game because, let's face it, who doesn't like ramming guys up the butt with chain-saws. The game takes graphic to an astronomical level, making you fell like you are in the game. The multiplayer is also altered from the original 360 version, making the experience all that much more enjoyable. The story line is good, you can fight aliens from destroying the Earth. There are a variety of weapons that make bashing the bad-guys loads of fun. You can also fight huge aliens with a machine gun. Great Game!

Put it in the CD drive. Nothing happened. Clicked CD drive - nothing, like its not even there.

Pulled it out and checked for scratches. There are none. Fresh out of box. Tried different CD. Worked fine. Put back in GoW CD. Again, nothing. Like it don't even exist.

Tried about 100 CD's before this. All worked perfectly. Number 101 - failed - didn't work at all.

Went to Microsoft's website - looked for phone number. None existed for technical support. Looked for e-mail address. Didn't find it. Kept looking. 15 minutes later - staring at some kind of legal agreement. Says I might have to pay up to 35 dollars for technical support. Clicked I disagree. Recieved no technical support at all.

Conclusion: PC port is riddled with bugs. Technical support is contingent on a legal agreement and possibly not even free. Microsoft doesn't care about customers - goes out of its way to make sure they're not contacted at all - or makes it extremely difficult for you should you choose to do so. Buy it at your own risk.

Couldn't get the game to load up and was not able to play it. Kept telling me I was missing a dll file. Microsoft wasn't any help and wanted to charge me for help after buying this game. Save your money don't buy this game. Stuck with a game we can't get to load up.

Good interesting graphics, and somewhat amusing dialog, but why do they make so many games that you have to achieve a checkpoint to make progress. It becomes very boring for an average player like me. On the bright side the game loads in good time not fast but not agonizingly slow either.

Gears of War on PC looks wonderful and plays great (especially if you have an xbox 360 controller to play it with). I had no problems installing or playing it at any time. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 is because the online multiplayer is not amazing, but the single player experience is great. Highly recommended.
