Meh, it's better on the 360 anyways. Playing on couch in front of my TV is always better than playing hunched over in my desk chair on a half the size monitor.

That's you're opinion of course, but I don't see how that makes it 'better' on the 360.

Local Co-op makes it better, hands down.

This game is one of the only shooters that actually lends itself to being played with a partner.

There are plenty of discernable advantages and disadvantages from PC to 360. However, if you'd ever played a local co-op through gears 1, you'd know that it can easily make the game much better, and increase the replay value.

Of course this is arguable.

The people who have done it will argue that it's the best.

The people who have never done it will argue that it's insignificant.

However, nobody that's played through Gears with local co-op is gonna wanna remove that feature. It's just too great.

Exactly. I also play co-op with my brother (splitscreen or system link) and the game is perfect designed for that.

A game with co-op functionality is a must buy for me (See Halo 3, Too Human, Gears of War, Crackdown, Kane & Lynch, Army of Two etc.)
