Okay so I went out and finally bought the game...WOW NICE FREAKING GAME seriously folks you really should get this one for your collection. The graphics are amazing. One thing though. If you want to run everything at max...your system better be a rocket. The sound effects and particle effects are just great. You hear every little thing and the slow motion action is so very cool. Even you RTS guys will like this game. It’s not like Doom where everything was dark and jumping out at you, although it does happen, but way different. Just go get it man, you won’t be disappointed. The game runs liquid smooth or atleast on my rig anyway. I can't wait to play this game on my new system. The only regret is I wish I had a big high performance LCD instead of my ViewSonic 22" CRT. Don't get me wrong it looks great, but not as great as one of those new what is it now 8 or 12ms Ultra Bright LCD's. Oh well, just need more money...LOL...If I was a girl I would go whore myself out for the money.
