    Don't waste your money on this if you can buy Gears of War 1 and 2 for half the price. Its basically a very clunky and duller graphics version of them. In fact Gears 2 was sort of ruined for me because of the change of online to sub par dedicated servers which meant the shotgun could make my body explode across the map if an American was firing it at me but even a full lancer wouldntDon't waste your money on this if you can buy Gears of War 1 and 2 for half the price.

Buy Gears 1. The onlne was much better.… Expand

    way to take gears of war and make it crappy. just another terrible waste of time and money cut and paste game. its almost like an anime gears. the game is also extremely slow and glitchy. i'd rather cry myself to sleep than play this.

    never finished the demo, that says all. So please don't waste money or time over it. that's a wii version of gear's. that's ugly like hell, the AI, story and even the menus are all poor.

    Brutal, Brutal Game. Dont buy or even rent. I attempted to play this game and had to return it....from renting it. I couldn't even keep it in my house. Fail on gears copy with poor CGI.

    This game is worse than 50 Cent: Bulletproof for the PS2 and Xbox. That's all that needs to be said, it is very repetitive, this game is a Gears of War clone, but does not execute anything properly, the aiming is atrocious, you could be right in front of a guy with a shotgun and that shot would miss. I would not even play this game for free.

    One of the most visible Gears of War clones I have ever played. This game is not only an example of a gears clone gone wrong, but an example of how not to make a game period.

    Worst game i have played on the X-Box 360 console. Bad Gears of War copy cat with horrible visuals, bad and extremely difficult gameplay mechanics, horrible music and terrible voice acting and a decent storyline that gets boring really fast. Luckily i got the game for only 5$ but i still feel like i have completely wasted my 5$ on a really dull and broken game. Terrible!

    Oh la belle daube interstellaire que voilà ! non seulement c'est pourri jusqu'au trognon mais c'est de surcroît entièrement repompé sur Gears of War ! ils avaient un modèle sur lequel s'appuyer, que dis-je, il suffisait de copier -puisque ces gens là, ces développeurs là ont perdu toute dignité- mais que nenni, ils sont infoutus de copier correctement : c'est mou du genou et mal fait,Oh la belle daube interstellaire que voilà ! non seulement c'est pourri jusqu'au trognon mais c'est de surcroît entièrement repompé sur Gears of War ! ils avaient un modèle sur lequel s'appuyer, que dis-je, il suffisait de copier -puisque ces gens là, ces développeurs là ont perdu toute dignité- mais que nenni, ils sont infoutus de copier correctement : c'est mou du genou et mal fait, aussi bien les combats que la mise en scène totalement pathétiques, à un tel point qu'Epic n'a même pas jugé utile de les poursuivre pour plagiat : on ne tire pas sur une ambulance et encore moins sur une épave.

    Quantum machin, c'est comme de la bouffe de supermarché, du hard discount : on dirait un jeu programmé par des Chinois dans une cave. Tout ce qu'il y a à faire avec ce genre d'étron, c'est de saisir tous les exemplaires encore disponibles et de les passer au marteau-pilon. D'ailleurs même mon clébard n'en veut pas. Je pensais pas que ça pouvait exister un jeu pareil et comme dirait Coluche : "ils le vendent, ça ?"... Eh oui ils en ont vendu (quand même) !    … Expand

    In Quantum Theory, basically everything is stolen from the Gears Of War series. And I mean badly stolen in every aspect. It´s barely playable and some cool ideas can´t rescue the whole **** game. Do not buy!

    Unlike its namesake, Quantum Theory makes no attempt to depart from classical mechanics - it merely diminishes them. [Nov 2010, p.96]

    A lame and not really challenging story combined with repetitive levels and replaceable characters are the key elements of Quantum Theory.
