Oh god yes. The cover system is to die for. Simply amazing. Enemy AI isn't too shabby.

And come on, machine guns with chainsaws on!

Yeah, the first one doesn't have too much story to it. But since it's a three-parter, I'm fine with that. It's silly to tell the story in the first one- what would the other two be about?

Berserkers are funny. But I fell in love with corpsers when I first saw the tv ad, with 'mad world' as the song. Pure genius :APPLAUSE:

The story is a bit better in the pc version, due to the additional scenes with the Brumak. As your being chased by the Brumak Anya gives you a pretty constant update on the situation with the train(except when there is a seeder early on) about how the locust have found it and have started to overrun it until it is eventually out of control by the time you reach the train station.

This makes a lot more sense and makes Act 5 feel more than a tacked on and rushed conclusion like it does on the Xbox.

BTW I prefer the cover system in Uncharted, though it is nigh on identical, as all the enemies and your partner, Elana, both react to where there is a danger, i.e using cover that is indestructable or doesn't have direct line of sight when not firing, something the Gears don't do very well, especially Dom.

thats understandable, its one of those things that for $20 you might as well pick it up if you see it. IT really is a pretty good $20. Sure Crossbow training is nothing mind blowing, but its plenty entertaining for the price!
