Review

 




Gears of War thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. With Gears of War, Epic Games returns gamers to the massively scoped worlds, memorable characters, cooperative gameplay and hyper-realistic combat that gamers have come to expect from the franchise, plus a few new surprises.

Gears of War will feature locations that are unique to the franchise and the genre. Players will encounter all their favorite foes from the Xbox 360 version; however, these intense encounters will take place in some new environments and allow players to manipulate the new game modes and technology found only in the Games for Windows title. Gears of War will challenge and push the limits of the PC gaming experience and provide an unparalleled visual presentation.

This has got to be one of my favourate games of all time, and i only wish they wud bring the second on PC aswell. I gave it 4/5 because for about 2 days, i wasnt able to play the game due to a error in the game, so it kinda recked it abit. Thankfully, it got fixed and i didnt stop playing for days!

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars LOST GAME SAVE

RICHARD101 | 14/03/2009 | See all RICHARD101's reviews (3) »

This game is unplayable. Twice I have got half way through this game and my game save has disappeared. This is a common occurance check the net. The game saves are copy protected so you can't make a back up of them. I have downloaded the latest patch and it makes no difference. I am playing this game on XP. You might be lucky and get to the end of this game without losing your game save but if you don't it is very frustrating.
