I'm now playing it through on Insane and it is much harder although I found that by the time I finished it on casual I still hadn't really got to grips 100% with the controls (showing how short the game is lol) but have now, so not finding it quite as hard as I first thought it would be. Much more interesting on insane though, with normal or failed reload with the chainsaw gun you can expect to pretty much empty a clip into a locust at close range before he drops and wretches are quicker and take a bit more to kill.
Gotta say though, I love the Boomers...........BOOM!
Advice: Learn the perfect reload well, you ARE going to need it in insane mode as a perfect reload with the sniper rifle will take down a locust in 1 shot to anywhere on the body as opposed to 4.
Also learn how to effectivly close Emergence Holes.
Advice for final boss: Ignore online walkthroughs about the Torque bow and sniper rifle method, go with Grenades and Chainsaw gun, I'll say no more
Overall a good game, best looking game to date, a few glitches and as Nik said......waaaaaaaayyyyy way way too short.
And she is a competant player, she's just not really into tatic warfare games such as this. She likes to run round blowing shit up ala Ratchet Deadlocked.

Yes I figured you knew how to plug a hole I guess what I meant was learn tactically how to do it and learn that you need to asap.
Yep me too and usually when I do give in and check how to do something I find out I was right in the first place and it's just hard and takes a while. The advice I gave you isn't a "How to" as such, it's more of a pointer of the most effective weaponry to use, you still have to figure out the tactic which is the hard and skillful part.I hate using cheat or Gamefaqs unless I'm completely stuck.
Yeah like I said, it's not without it's glitches, there's a part where a boomer and a couple of wretches come down in an caged elevator, I cut them to shit before the door opened and part of the boomers head was stuck in the wall going spacky ala F.E.A.R.Speaking of stuck, I got stuck in a wall, and had to quit once but that was the only time.
Of courseSuuuuure, defend your woman.
But I do state fact so

Interesting news:
The only knock I had on GOW was it's length.
Well now the PC version is getting 5 new single player levels.
Remember the Brumak? Well you get to fight the motherfucker.
I always thought it odd that the only time you see the Brumak is in a cutscene.
GOW for the PC....I'm getting it. Helluva game that will be worth playing yet again.
Imagine the mods for it.
Yeah the Unreal Engine had PC origins anyway. I can't see this being a bad conversion.
5 more levels is a lot plus add in the level editor plus add in that game will look better (with a very good gfx card) than the 360 version. The Xbox version was already amazing looking.
This is making me really pressed to get an entertainment PC up and working.
If I could play Crysis, GOW PC, and more on my basement TV, I'd be very happy.
