if you loved the original you'll love this game

the game is basically the same with a new coat of paint. meaning the cut scenes are really fun to watch, the graphics are beautiful, and the game runs pretty smoothly. my main problem is that the game has no couch coop (split scene coop) and that is unforgivable. you'll run into a few bugs and I doubt they'll ever get fixed this late into the release. however if you have a friend to play with then its a really fun experience.

WORTH GETTING ONSALE

GAME RUNS EXCELLENT ONLY ISSUE IT DOESNT PLAY NICE WITH AUDIO IS BUGGED SOMETIMES BUT NOITHING GAME BREAKING PAYED FOR THIS GAME WHEN IT WENT ONSALE 15 BUCKS IS WORTHING GETTING IT JUST FOR THE CAMPAIGN WOULDNT PAY ANYMORE FOR GAME THATS ALMOST 10yrs OLD DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED FINE ON THE CREATOR UPDATE IF YOU NEVER PLAYED GEARS BEFORE THIS IS GREAT STARTING POINT!(EXCELLENT GRAPHICS)

Multiplayer is dead

I've owned it since day 1, and while early on it was a great game that I loved, the multiplayer died quick. It's basically gone now, especially now that Gears of War 4 is out. I ended up getting an Xbox just to play this game, save your money.

Amazing Game

This game is very very good. Most of the people on here that are giving it a one star are people that don't have good computers, and complain that the multiplayer is dead on a windows marketplace game. Don't listen to the dumb people give it one stars for those reasons. Buy this game.

This game will not stop downloading

my download progress bar is at 86GB and is only a 3rd of the way this is not the 53GB they said or its just damn buggy and its been downloading for 3 days and I can't even play a game I f-ing bought

Great game

It's the classic game we all know and love, in the flesh, on PC, made for an OS more modern than Vista. Runs fine, at least on my PC. Mouse and keyboard controls handle well enough to play without many hiccups. Gorgeous graphics. The framerate drops here and there, but nothing that would ruin the experience. Multiplayer is absolutely dead, but the single player campaign is more than enough for me.

Retro Gaming

Played this before on the 360. Good thing they also have it on PC. Would be awesome if they have 2nd and 3rd of the series.

No multiplayer of any kind!

My friend and i were trying to play a coop campaign and it was impossible for either of us to recieve eachother's invites through the xbox app, which is a horrible app itself. the game doesnt install an exe (so you cant run through steam) and makes it difficult to access the main folder. I tried joining a random coop campaign and it just searches and never finds a match. also I believe that most of the reviews on windows store are fraudulent or edited by Microsoft. how are there so few reviews for the games when before there where so many? also I'm the admin on this comp, why can i not access the folder? why cant i uninstall it?

Doesn't work with Windows 10 preview.

The only way I can play GOW is to reset it every time.

Great to have it back!

I love and still play the original Gears of War released for Windows Vista. I made a 'portable' version of it so I can play it anywhere I want to. The graphics in this new version are excellent. I don't give a ratz a$$ about multiplayer.
