    That demo took WAY too long looking at water :p

    I actually wasn't super-impressed with the effects. Yes, they're reacting the way they should, but the water still looked pretty fake IMO, at least all the water bouncing around, I guess the water droplets. The water on the ground looked pretty good.

    I downloaded this a few days ago, was hoping for a real demo but anyway it looked interesting. Some of the graphics seemed off, not sure what it was. I ran it at 1680x1050 with everything turned up but AA off and ended up with crazy numbers, like min 10 and max 100 and avg 40.
