    I am just curious if anyone played it and at what settings? I don't see how this would violate NDA.

    havent played it yet but im sure it will run with all the settings turned down and aa turned off,the question is shouldnt we be getting a desent desktop with say a 8800gtx to play such a graphically magnificent game and not on our 5920 ?

    well, I don't play much games lately as I used to, so don't need super expensive computer, but I just want to check it out what's this game is all about. I did get to play it for 15 mins at Digital Life, but that wasn't enough to get to enjoy it

    did you try wide screen resolution 720p? If it handle that at medium settings it would be good enough for me

    i played it at Digital Life and wasn't super impressed, but it had nice features that none of the current games have it (highly destructable environment) I would definetely not rush and spent $2k on a new hardware just for this game.

    I didn't really get deep into it, but I'm not exactly impressed at all with what I had seen. For me, FarCry (free ad version) seems just as good.

    where did you get free FarCry? I checked on fileplanet a while back, but it seemed as if they removed it.

    Yes, unfortunately the free version was only available for a short time. :(

    Far cry is excellent. The top free game on my list. I don't know what I did, but for some reason the ads are gone. :D
