Key item features

  • Gears of War is a third-person shooter that places emphasis on using cover to avoid taking damage while moving towards enemy forces. The game uses a number of weapon archetypes, but predominately featured is the Lancer, an assault rifle that has a mounted chainsaw bayonet that can be used to kill foes at close range. The player can attempt an Active Reload of a weapon to reload it faster and temporarily boost the damage from the gun, but failing to perform the Active Reload correctly will cause the gun to become momentarily jammed while the player's character fixes it. When the player takes damage, the Crimson Omen, a red cog representing the player's health gauge, will fade into the screen, becoming more defined with larger amounts of damage. The player can seek cover to recover their health, but if they take too much damage, they will become incapacitated. Once this occurs, a skull will fill the center void of the omen. Depending on the game type being played, the consequences will vary. If single-player career mode is being played, instant death will follow. If there is a second player, they will have to revive their fallen teammate.
  • Gears of War's story plays out like a Hollywood blockbuster.
  • Unreal Engine 3 technology brings out the smallest details in the largest of battles.
  • To survive you must suppress your enemy, take cover, and use weapons and teammates to outlast the Locust Horde.
  • Gears of War for Windows features original content and all-new achievements to unlock.
  • LIVE supports online matchmaking for Gold members.

gettin the game to work

if gears of war crashes every time you play to stop this go to my computer. after that go to microsoft games then click on gears of war. once you do that go to bionaries or binaries click on this then go to startup. Right click than run it as administrator and that will make the game work fine.

Excellent game

Sure it had some trouble with Games for Windows Live when it first launched, but MS quickly issued a patch, and now Gears is one of the best games ever! I am hats.

Gears of War is great game.the graphics are awesome.The third person shooter is excellent for this game.The entire gameplay is awesome.The only thing that doesnt make the cut is that multiplayer is through Microsoft live.They want you to have to pay to play online.NOT COOL!! not only did you just spend $50 on this game but they want more from you.there needs to be a way around this.Single Player rocks.so this game is well worth it just for that.so go out a buy it.
