Has anybody played it yet? I heard that only NASA have the hardware required to get this game running smoothly.
My machine is mid-range at best, so I'm not sure if I should shell out my hard-earned cash. |

I saw the requirements here
Man! Core Duo 2.4 with 2.5 gig memory, and it takes up 18 gigs on your hard drive.
Glad I'm playing it on my XBox where I don't have to worry; just buy a game, pop it in and play. |

I've been playing it for the last few days..........Not so demanding I think. My E8400(OC'ed), HD4870(OC'ed) and 4GB OCZ 800mhz seem to coping well.
The best thing graphics-wise seems to be the night/day effects....cool. |

Another poorly-coded port.
PC gaming is getting pretty bleak when we have to put up with this crap.. |

| It's running solidly on my machine (AMD X2 6400+ / ATi 4850/ 2GB RAM) at 1650/1080 on high with 25 view distance (21 being xbox equivalent). I'm loving the online play, especially 3 way team deathmatch. Seriously kickass! Haven't really got into the story yet. Online urban war is more entertaining than taxi missions |

Total disaster of a port.

I love the line in the video where Hitler screams, " I can't f#!king believe they spent $200,000 on SecuROM. Especially since it does f#!k all in stopping piracy. The game's s#!tty quality would do that!!!"
On a side note. That video is used for just about everything. |

Despite bad reviews, I'm sticking up for this game. I've put in about 12 hours so far and I've enjoyed just about most of it.
Graphics are good if you have the hardware to play it. If your PC can't run it, quit whining, upgrade.....times change.....
I've never laughed openly at a video/console/pc game until this one. The havoc you can wreck is hilarious.
I'll go so far as to say that it's the best value for entertainment game since Crysis. |

My fav bit is the Hitler's denial bit where he says to himself 'I'm hoping to play it on the highest graphical settings' and then you see the generals sweat. |

People on rigs much more powerful than a ps3 are having mediocre - shitty fps. It's bad coding not old PCs that is causing the problem. |

I'm running it on my rig (Radeon 4850, Athlon X2, 2.6ghz and 4GB of RAM).
I have the settings down to the minimum and the game still 'chugs' a fair bit.
Hopefully, a few patches here and there will make it smoother. |
