- Engaging and disturbing cinematic story. Massively scoped worlds, memorable characters and an epic story line play out like an intense and unsettling blockbuster action film. Dramatic in-game camera work and a compelling story bring the brutal, emotionally charged experience to life. Gamers control Marcus Fenix and his fire team as they pit advanced human technology against the overwhelming and horrific Locust Horde.
- Fire team co-op action. All game modes, levels and scenarios are designed for cooperative fire team play (AI or human). For the first time, AI teammates are indiscernible from human players. They move intelligently, take orders effectively, and seek cover and defend themselves when necessary. Gamers will experience richer cooperative gameplay than ever, through unique characters that require cooperation to survive.
- Unprecedented visuals in next-generation gaming. “Gears of War” ushers in the next generation with unprecedented visuals. The Unreal Engine 3 technology pushes high-definition visual designs and brings out the smallest details in the largest battle. Gamers will experience a rich dynamic world with an unprecedented level of detail. Characters come to life with unbelievable model quality and a physics-integrated animation system that has them truly reacting intelligently to events as they unfold around them.
- Hyper-realistic and intense combat. In “Gears of War” the battlefield is a lethal place — to foolishly stand out in the open is to die. To survive, gamers can create and take cover using interactive and dynamic environments,suppress the enemy with blindfire, and use their weapons and teammates to outwit and outfight their terrifying enemies.
- Next-generation Windows Live action. “Gears of War” will embody the next-generation Microsoft® Windows Live™ experience and extend it even further. Gamers will be able to experience individualized matchmaking, view player statistics, earn player achievements, customize their games, and build and personalize their gamer profiles.

| I had always thought that this game would be bad, because of the overall controls of the game, and I though this game would be better on the console. But I gave it a chance and boy was I wrong.. This game showed me how much the computer owns, the controls are great, and everything else you would expect from Gears on the Xbox is better on computer. I was happy about the controls because I thought i...[More] |

| I don't own the game but me and my friends played it at a Lanning Place that had about 9 computers. At first we didnt play it because all of us had already played it on the xbox so much but then one of my friends got into the game and so did the rest of us. I didn't expect it to be THAT good but it was so addictive that we stayed there playing it for at least 5-7 hours! The guy at the place even g...[More] |
