Games for windows live is completly free and works on xp just fine (Gears of war, Lost planet colonies)

Bought the game despite all the one * reviews. Works perfectly and no crashes after 12 hours of play. Installed on a Core 2 CPU, 9800GT GPU, Vista 64bit with 4GB ram. Just one gripe - took forever to install and register!
Well..I like it! December 5, 2008

So...after reading the comments, i was tempted to pack the game up and send it back. I'm glad I didnt!
I installed the game a few hours ago..so this obviously isnt a full review. Firstly my PC has no problem running this game. Its custome built and I wont bore you with specs. Suffice to say it meets minimum requirements + runs windowns XP (service pack 3). Whilst I do feel it dosnt take full advantage of my hardware, ultimetly the game is more than its graphics alone.
So..installing the game. Yes..its long and tedious with numerous securtiy features..all of which have been discussed by other reviews.
Once that's done you then need to set up your game. Its no diffrent from any previous GTA game. Plenty of customisable options...but, it seems here the game wants to make its own decisions rather than let me make them when it comes to the video options. Whilst i can get it to recognise my set up with no problem, it just wont let me max out the game graphics...and by this I mean it physically wont do it.So, I let the game use its auto set up options and off I went!
All is forgiven when the game starts up. Its looks "great" even on medium graphics setting..but as I said, there is more to a game than what it looks like. It plays and feels like previous GTA titles (as it should) and feels instantly familiar but oh so new at the same time.
2 hours in and I know this game could well become one of my fave games ever.
To sum it up..
If you played the previous GTA games on PC and enjoyed them, you'll be playing it anyway no matter what the negative views have to say.
If your new to the GTA series you may well like this game. Dont buy it for your kids. This is not for under 18s..its for mature players only.
The previous posts about the game crashing + game performance..well I've had no problems so far, but rockstar themselves have stated a small portion of users have a stability issue (lets be honest..every PC is diffrent) and they are working on a patch right now.
Give it a go..I suspect you'll enjoy it! I know I am!
It works! December 2, 2008

Well, I can see everyone's point of view. Having installed it today (Dec 2nd) ;though it is a pretty annoying process to actually activate; once done it does at least work (under Vista). Looks great. I'm not taking side sin the debate, I would have been happy to be injected with a flu virus to get this game. Yes, I did mean to type injected. Make up yr own mind about securom, but I can at least confirm the d*mn thing works!
