    Inuki you can actually get the game for 40 bucks now not 60, which is practically a steal.

    Oh, and as for the guy below me learn to use punctuation

    overrated no story the weapons are dumb and shooting? you stay behind cover if you stand up you get shotted too many enemies they shooting you at the same time you die they alll shoot at the same time if you stand up and aim at someone that takes cover and you take hit before you even seen him stand up DUMB COMBAT also the ally AI is dumb they bug up all the time and enemy ai runs to cover and shoot you and neve misses also to aim you got to zoom in so zooming in with a shotgun at small close areas, is not working right and the ai sticks all the bullets in you while you get frustrated try to aim and and if an ally die you touch him and he is back but if your character dies load checkpoint, also the game asks you to shoot barrels to create light or ro you dont die thanks to some bats that kill you if you step in the darkness so at soem point you got to push a burning car wreckage to create light, do ihave to be psychic to know that? also at some point you cover someone wih a light like a minigame and you drive a vehicle that you stop and use a uv light so you wont get eaten by bats, the machine gun turret is shielded from the front because if it wasnt you use it and die thanks to everyone shooting you, at some point i tried to go around the turret but i tried to stick to a column for cover but it did not work, and the turret was shooting my allies but evey time i stand up it teleported its shooting direction to me didnt even turn it just magically shooting me before the gunner evne turns it, it looked so dumb, apart form that the game is totaly linear and borring, so screw it and get kane and lynch dead men better combat no bats to kill you in darkness no puzzles better guns better ai and much better story did jeff even seen that gears DOESN'T HAVE A STORY BUT KANE AND LYCNH HAD A GREAT STORY? Or dark sector its better too! Am a pc gamer so gears wasnt my xbox 360 WOW but i got to say that resistance is better!

    Amazingly, this is still a game I have yet to play. I just got an XBOX 360 a couple weeks ago and I am hoping to play it soon, but can't get up the nerve to dish out almost 60 for it. I also am too lazy to rent it. lol

    Whatever happened to the high speed option? The Gamespot downloads used to max out my connection (a blazing 30mbps). Now, I'm literally downloading slower than a 56K modem.
