 Good game, not for windows. August 14, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've played the game on xbox 360 and its pretty neat. Unfurtunately the game has become unplayable on my pc, as well as many others according to the forums. I have tried every solution posible and havent been able to play it on my win vista, even though the game claims as a game for Windows. So my recomendation for u is tha u save bur 50 dollars instead on giving it away to microsoft.
 Incredible August 2, 2008
THIS GAME IS STUNNING. The graphics are out of this world for the PC. The action is great, even though you can guess at times what is going to happen next. The easy level for me is very difficult and may not be for the REAL gamer. You start out looking for another group of soldiers that home base lost contact with. In the process of looking for these soldiers, you come across some weird characters that you have to not only defend yourself, but also the team. I am running a duo2 core 3.4 Intel processor and the game starts off loading slow, but once the game is done loading, each level after that loads pretty fast. I have not completed the game yet and know for a fact from a co-worker that I am not even half way through.
Great Game, But Not for Windows July 26, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game is very fun and really has a lot of non stop action, but it's not for Windows. It is a really sloppy port of the XBOX360. If you have played this on the XBOX360, then this game will waste your money. They added some new content, but not really worth buying. Epic also is very lousy with support for the game. They have released two patches, but this game really stutters pretty badly on my dual core rig, which runs games like Crysis on high settings like water.
Just don't get this for Windows, or if like me, try for another title like Bioshock 2 or Fallout 3. They are better titles and really keep you into the game. They also have better support.
Another Note: This game requires that you sign up for Games for Windows Live to save you progress. That's another reason to consider before buying Gears of Wars
Bugs and repitition June 28, 2008

The first problem with this game is that you need to sign into LIVE to save any progress in single player mode. If anything happens to your Live ID you loose your game. At least when it's saved on your hard drive you have the option of backing up any game progress and can restored it if anything happens.
But most of all it wasn't that good of a game. I was first attracted to it because your blood splattered on the monitor when you got shot. As it turns out, not enough to make the game good. I bought it at a higer price than the $29 but wouldn't pay that if I had to do it again.
Console port with a few extras. June 22, 2008
Gears of War for PC is basiclly a console port with a few more extra content added onto the 5th act. Just like the console version, this is an amazing game. The cover and shooting system is extremely fun and online play is addicting. The extra content added onto the levels is cool but not amazing. I have not experienced framerate/save game issues unlike what other reviewers said, although when i got the game it did take a long time to update because of the games for windows live bugging out on me so i had to find the update manually on the internet. Other than installation, it's the same solid fun game as it was on the console. The only thing I didn't like is the ranked/social/live playlist crap, theres not really that much people that play the pc version why can't there just be 1 playlist.
