 Not a FPS [First Person Shooter} October 10, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a third person shooter; you play the game looking over somebody's
shoulder, as you do when watching a movie. You are not IN the movie.
Game developers don't seem to get it. Most all of the great shooter
games have been first person. Are third person games cheaper to make?
Shame on the developers and Amazon for not letting us know.
 Gears of War PC October 8, 2008

Although it varies among computers, unless you are solely interested in the 5 extra chapters, 3 new maps, the new gametype, and the game editor, you should not buy Gears of War PC. I'm not saying that it is bad, no. The 5 extras chapters fill the gap between two parts of the story in Gears of War for the Xbox 360 which certainly makes the PC version more interesting story-wise. The 3 new maps, including Courtyard, Gold Rush, and Sanctuary, are also fairly fun to play on. However, when it comes to gameplay, Gears of War PC (compared to the Xbox 360 version), just doesn't cut it. For those of you who have already played the Xbox 360 version, you will know that lag can be somewhat prominent in several instances. However, when the 360 version is compared to the PC version, the lag seems nonexistant.
Weapon-wise, nothing has changed between the 360 and PC version, unfortunately. The Gnasher is still used as the run-and-gun weapon and people can still rambo through whole rounds of bullets like they are immortal. Using the Longshot Rifle (Sniper) in the PC version seems to be somewhat easier for pulling off headshots as the sensitivity appears to be higher, which is both a positive and a negative in some perspectives.
If you are truly looking for the REAL Gears of War 1 experience, but don't have an Xbox 360, THEN GET ONE. With Gears of War 2 coming out on November 7th, solely to the Xbox 360, it would be a wise desicion to get one if you have not already.

fun to play nice grafics,dont have the xbox so i allways wanted to try this game. Some of the reviews scared me off, But when ifound it on amazon for 14$ Ihad to get it so glad Idid only half way though dont like 3rd person so much but this game dose agreat job of it. game save is fine they come up rather quick. allso when you join games for windows you can talk to your friends on the 360 kinda cool! I youse a360 controler for this game just works beter for this game.

Okay here is the main thing bout this game
This is a game that should be played in a XBox 360 console. Tried the PC version but it sucks not because of the game but just because of the fact that the game is not made for PCs.....
Typical Console Port September 13, 2008

It was too difficult to play this game with the unresponsive controls. This console port to the PC has great possibilities. I bought it because of great reviews but was unable to play it. Perhaps the trouble can be blamed on the Vista-64 OS.
