Joystiq plays Gears of War PC


Joystiq recently got a chance to try out Gears of War for the PC at DigitalLife. The verdict: it's Gears of War alright. Beyond some necessary changes made to the control scheme for mouse users, the game is essentially the same one we all fell in love with last November. Joystiq does note that the visuals are markedly improved and pulling off headshots is (expectedly) much easier with a mouse. The build at Digital Life has its share of problems and bugs, but such problems should be ironed out in time for the game's release later this year. Hit the "read" link for Joystiq's full hands-on impressions.

I have the PC version of the Gears of War, but i can't play it with a keyboard and mouse since has a bug or something. I move the mouse but the character move instead of aiming. I use Windows UE. Maybe i have to buy a joystick or something.
