Gears of War on More Platforms?

In a move unprecedented by any gaming companies for more than a decade, Gears of War apparently has been ported to another system. The big surprise is that system is none other than the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

A completely shocking choice but what can one say except for "Why didn't I think of that?". Unknown to most, but the full power of the SNES has never really been tapped into. Until now. We are not going to BS everyone and say that this port is better than the 360 version, but damn is it close.

Visually, it is impossible to tell the difference. The only thing that really separates the two is the frame rate. While both run at 60 fps, the SNES version can drop to 20 fps when the going gets tough. Although this can make a player lose the immersion, it is still a great game.

Readers let us hear your review of the ported game.
