Tried play the Ultimate Edition since I played the original version when I ran through the series before, and was in a Gears mood after Gears Tactics, but Gears 1 is so hard to get into after playing everything else. I don't see a reason to ever go back to 1 really since every game just gets better and better. It also doesnt help that you can't get downed in this game, you just insta-die, very annoying.
