The damn thing didn't even work
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.
Horrible Game
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.
why can't you save your progress??
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.
Very Enjoyable Game
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.
Not a FPS [First Person Shooter}
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.
