IGN has the first review (9.2) http://pc.ign.com/articles/657/657310p1.html

This was on my most anticipated list in that thread and it gets released next week. Good to see the reviewer mention that the game has been optimized since the sp demo because the demo was killing my 9600XT. I am concerned with all (most?) of the levels being in like a factory setting.

I've been browsing some GameFAQs boards on this one, and some folks are talking about some serious bug issues that need to be addressed before picking it up.

I picked this game up today. I played for about 40 minutes and had a few "chill down the spine" moments. One almost had me frozen. Very intense game. I love it so far.

Great game one it's patched. Sets a good mood early and continues the rest of the way.... best played with headphones and the lights turned down low. :) I don't even come close to the recommended specs and it plays fine if you turn a few things down. Can't wait to see what it looks like once I have my new rig built.

Wow, it requires a 64 Meg GeForce 4 Ti? That's by far the best aspect of my computer, and it's the minimum. Sweet.

Very good game. But it is a SERIOUS system hog.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 x2, 1gb ram, and a GeForce 7800 GT card, and I have to run it at 800 x 600 with most graphics on medium. If not, the game plays like a slide show.

On the same system, both Doom 3 and Half Life 2 and even Far Cry, play smooth with graphics turned all the way up with 1024 x 768.

Just picked this one up today along with Madden 2006 for the pc as well as HL 2.

My x800GT card is here tomorrow!!

I picked it up as well. I too love it. Maybe if enough of us pick it up we can get a deathmatch going ?

i almost picked this up at walmart yesterday for 39 bucks. i have a 128mb geforce 5700 ultra video card. the chipsets the packaging says it supports is 5900 and above, so i dont know if it will run. anyone else have a similar video card and tried this game?

There is a demo available and I would try it before you buy no matter what card or computer setup you run. The game can be a total pig on some systems.

Yes, I would try the demo first. I have a Dell Dimension 8200 2.4 gig with 512 Ram and an old GeoForce 4 TI 4600. I had to play with the settings to get it to run. Turn down the shading, details, etc. However, it's still a blast to play.

Yep, I'm now selling my copy on ebay as my pc couldn't run it on 800x600 without some serious studdering.

Oh well... such a promising game.
