Rating: - Awesome game
This is a great game. Some what challenging and fun to play. Multiplayer games are not too fun though. You have to be really good, but overall a good game.
Rating: - Fun but Ruined by Windows Live!
I have a VERY fast system with lots of video processing power. LOTS.
The game is a blast! The controls take a little getting used to but the learning curve is short.
Graphics on highest settings are smooth, beautiful and gory, like a FPS should be.
Storyline seems to refer to a past game in spots but is not bad.
Windows Live! account required to play. Game saves disappear at random requiring you to start from the beginning some days.

Rating: - Next Gen Graphics/Sound, Initially Very Buggy, Great New PC only Content
I originally bought an Xbox 360 just to play this game and it was very cool, but as a single player campaign only it seemed way too short to justify the $59+tax price but it was and is a really next gen game with some say a solid multiplayer(never played MP) so it probably was worth full retail. I have since sold both the 360 and the game but I was really happy to hear this great game was coming to PC and picked it up. I play only single player and have played this through several times.

Rating: - Great Game
I thought this game was great. Although you need a pretty advanced computer to run it, overhauling your computer now a days is pretty cheep. Its what I did. I loved this game because, let's face it, who doesn't like ramming guys up the butt with chain-saws. The game takes graphic to an astronomical level, making you fell like you are in the game. The multiplayer is also altered from the original 360 version, making the experience all that much more enjoyable. The story line is good, you can fight aliens ... Read More
