i urge ne one who is considering buying this game to visit the epic forums and check out just how many people can't play this game not because of system specs but because of bugs! This has to be the most bugged game on release ever, yes even beating H&D!
A huge number of people just get a crash on start up. Epics advice? Reinstall...that doesnt work? oh sorry don't know erm check everything is patched up?
I didn't have this problem however i returned the game straight away....They had a year to convert this to the PC however they didnt take the time number 1) to make sure the live function works properly. A number of players who bought the game can't access live from the in game menu making SP unsaveable (so pointless unless you want to play through it in a single sitting) and mp unaccessible.
Number 2) Oh yeah keyboard and mouse support neone? Thats right the in game menus often don't work and when i loaded into my SP game my character ran around jumping up and down wildly i had zero control. I posted on the epic forums with my long list of bugs only to be told "We are aware that many of the bugs you have mentioned are very common in game, there is no fix for them at this time please enjoy the game".
WTF?!?!?! how can i enjoy a game i can't play. Well done epic *slow hand clap* i don't usually rant on about games because i try to find enjoyment in everything i play but this really hacked me off.
Oh and please dont be fooled by thinking my problem was down to system specs these things are encountered by people running from low system specs to high on both vista and xp...according to a lot of the support in the forums you simply get lucky if you copy of GoW plays at all and even luckier if once it runs you can actually play the game.
p.s. seriously if you think i'm some kind of whining idiot go check the forums here have a link

p.p.s if someone reads this like a year from now, and epic have released a patch then you can probs disregard this lol but for now this game is a P.O.S
