    X Box 360s sound like pieces of crap.

    There are a lot out there that are. It takes some work to get a good one.

    Anyhow, a friend and I have been playing for the last couple of hours. The game is f**king great.

    The reviews may be right; this sets a new bar for co-op as well. Great graphics, but more importantly badass gameplay. It isn't run and gun, but the game is built so that you don't feel slowed down at all. Tons of action, and you are still using cover and working with your squad. Amazing job of crossing fast paced FPS with the 'stop and pop' gameplay they've been referring to.

    Back when it was originally announced, there were rumors that it might hit the PC after the 360 release (think someone at Epic or MS left the idea open). Talk about that has quieted down quite a bit since then, and I think people at MS have even stated that the game is not scheduled for release on the PC (MS is the publisher and owns the rights to GOW BTW). I wouldn't count on it happening, but I guess it isn't completely out of the question.

    I know plenty of people with 360's and none of them have had to take one back.

    This game is AMAZING. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi/alien type games but I'm really feeling Gears of War. Folks were not lying when they said this was the best looking 360 game available.

    played it for a few hours yesterday and by far this is one of the best games I have ever played. Graphically nothing can come even close. The game is decently difficult as well on hardcore. Sawing people in half never gets old, and being able to play through the whole game co-op is the best addition they could have made. Truly worthy of the ratings it has received so far.

    yes the co-op is split screen and you can play through the entire game not just a couple of levels. I have not tried to play the multiplayer yet but I hope to get 3 friends over this weekend so we can get some 2vs2 action going. By far this is the best co-op game ever made.

    I just got a copy and played it over lunch.. I was very impressed with the game play and graphics, the voice acting is even good.. I need to play longer to get the controls down because I was having a hard time figuring out the "kill switch" cover and shoot thing, but overall it looks very promising..
