    Anyone running this on their M11x-R1? Looks like a good game, curious how it runs on the M11x-R1? What level of graphics, etc can you run with it on the R-1?

    never tried it myself but went ahead and looked that up for you and it seems like it runs just fine on it with 4GB of ram

    If you are not crazy about physics, game runs pretty good.

    Yeah, I haven't read up but I guess the 335M just doesn't handle Physx well... even in small doses.

    Yeah, I pulled it down of D2D, it runs pretty well, sad about the Physx though, that fog in the beginning looked sweet. Fun game though, been a long time since I haven't played something online... thanks for the feedback!

    Runs well on my R1 although as normal with a UE3 game you *can* get random stuttering as it streams the textures. All high settings the framerate is between 25 and 50fps depending where you are and what you are doing.

    I have approximately the same configuration as Xaser does - the game runs very well, even though I use an external monitor and play in 1920x1080.

    The game itself is fun indeed - very well made.

    I chickened out- I didn't think the m11x would handle it, so I got it last year for the PS3. Totally fun game though, I highly recommend playing it either way! I can't wait for Arkham City.

    I play it in R2 with all high and 16x anti-aliasing smoothly. No problem at all, by contrary, it runs very well =].

    yeah also in R1 you can play it with all at maximum but without physX.. or you can activate physX and lower some settings.
