DESCRIPTION

Gears of War is a futuristic third-person shooter emphasizing tactical action over run-and-gun battles. Players are thrust in a climactic clash between what's left of humankind and a swarming underground race called the Locust Horde. The main protagonist is Marcus Fenix, a once disgraced soldier looking to redeem himself by leading a ragtag squad against the monstrous threat.

Since the alien army vastly outnumbers the team, players must use the post-apocalyptic world to their advantage, such as seeking cover behind dumpsters, pillars, cars, rubble, and other objects. The developer has adapted its award-winning Unreal technology to create interactive environments with a physics-based damage system. Players, for instance, can shoot down structures to forge new routes or opportunities to trap the enemy. Up to three squad mates will accompany Fenix in each mission, with basic commands such as "advance," "hold," or "freelance" available to guide them.

A behind-the-shoulder view similar to the one employed in Capcom's Resident Evil 4 is the default perspective in Gears of War. Weapons include an assortment of grenades, pistols, assault rifles, and other long-range blasters, many of which offer a means to engage enemies in melee combat. The Locust Horde is not averse to lunging, rushing, or gnawing at soldiers, so players have the opportunity to perform grisly finishing moves by quickly tapping specific button sequences during close encounters. Cooperative support for two players is offered throughout the campaign, and players can battle each other in team-oriented modes via Internet connection. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Does the PC version let you get achievements? A friend gave me his copy, since his computer couldn't handle it.

Though he didn't give me the CD key, so I'm scared to link my Gamertag to it, don't wanna get it banned. ”

Ashbelthor was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Yep, PC version uses LIVE so it has achievements.
Don't bother installing, you need a serial to play online. I don't think it will ban your gamertag, never heard of such a case anyway.
How were you planning on installing it without a cd key?”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“When he gave it to me, he said he'd get me the code, he didn't.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Either way, I'll try to get the code from him, I played some co-op when I rented the 360 version, pretty fun.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Plus I've heard you can use one GFWL code for all Live online games, and I have my Batman: AA code, so I could try that if I can't get the code from my friend.”

Ashbelthor was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“You would be right about that.
Except for Section 8, my friend said it didn't work for him.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Hmm, I've been hearing the PC version has a problem with disappearing game saves, or is that problem fixed by now? I'm trying to install it now, it's been having problems, I cleaned the disc, and I'm trying again.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Well I can't install it, so looks like I won't be able to join you.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 5 days ago...

“Think I see the problem, other then some scratches, there seem to be some small dents in the disc, oh well, least I didn't play money for it. ”

Ashbelthor was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“So that's why he gave you the game lol
The only time my save file disappeared was when I uninstalled the game.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - 4 days ago...

“He said it wouldn't work on his computer, not a good enough computer to play it. I guess he must have left the disc lying around once he found that out, and it got damaged.”
