Gears of War, a third-person tactical action/horror game, puts you in the boots of Marcus Fenix as you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Gears of War is the only game to blend a deep and disturbing story of human survival against an endless mass of nightmarish creatures, a next-generation tactical combat system, and unsurpassed visuals and special effects. The story unfolds as a ragtag group of soldiers use every last ounce of strength to survive the onslaught from the forces of evil, which begins on the historic Emergence Day. Multiplayer capability - gamers around the globe to connect via their PCs via Windows LIVE All-new content, including three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer game type, five new campaign chapters, DirectX 10 support and a game editor for unlimited user-created content ESRB Rated M for Mature

Summary: Gears of War PC review
Comment: Gears of War is an awesome game in either of its two formats. Anyone who has a PC that is capable of running this game, I would highly recommend it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good game, not for windows.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Incredible
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great Game, But Not for Windows
Comment: 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
Customer Rating:
Summary: Bugs and repitition
Comment: 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.
