I finished Gears of War yesterday and I have to say I'm disappointed with the length. It took me only about 9-11 hours to finish the game on the easiest difficulty setting, including dying a lot in some very frustrating parts of the game. But those were nothing compared to the very annoying final boss fight with a locust called general Raam (picture above). Or more specifically the stupid bat/bird creature things that protected him. I died like 30-35 times before finally managing to beat the son-of-a-bitch. Out of those only maybe 4 were by the hands of the general himself and 2 by the squids floating around.

I was also disappointed to find out that there was *spoiler alert* no other special tactic or trick required in killing him, except making the bats go away for a while by shooting Raam with the torque bow before spraying him with led. *spoiler end* I wonder what the boss fight is like on insane difficulty... insane ? But all things considered it's a great game I can highly recommend.
