    It's nothing new..

    It's the game made to showcase Agiea physics hardware, and made to be free for Ageia purchasers.

    It's been reviewed awhile back as being an OK MP game, but not really anything great, or even good..

    And even though it's there to exclusively showcase Ageia's physics cards, things that are destructable, aren't real. Meaning that if you blow a chunk off of a wall, you cannot further interact with that chuck, it's basically not there, just for looks.

    I'll give it a go now. It better be somewhat better coded then Cell Factor, I could barely hit 30fps on a 2.5Ghz 6400 and 8800GTS.

    This won't be playable on any laptop.

    I get 6-15fps with a 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo and X1800XT at 640x400 lowest possible settings.

    At 1280x800, medium-high, I get fine framerates for about 10 seconds on my desktop, then as the physics start compounding it drops to an unplayable mess. Seems just like Cell Factor - unplayable without a PhysX card, and frankly for no good reason other than to sell the darn things. UT3 and GoW run on the same engine and run fine at 1680x1050 maxed out. Plus they're probably both better games.

    I downloaded it and played it, looked like crap and ran like it, too. their FIZZICKS isn't anything spectacular, it's just a bunch of unnecessary collisions....waste of time, imo.
