    Can anyone tell me if there is a built in graphics stress test in this game? If so, is it on the full retail version or just the demo?

    There is an option called "performance test" in the main menu which loads a street level and spawns enemies, and tells you the FPS. If that is what you meant. It's in the retail one.

    If you're using the test to see if you can play the game, don't worry too much about the results. Look at the framerate you're getting. For me, even though I score a D, I can still play the game with only slight slowdown during really intense sections. I've even gone through a couple levels of LDK without any real problems.
