    Yes, it probably can. You'd have to turn down some of the more demanding effects such as anti-aliasing or shadows, though. To be certain, compare your system specs to that of the recommended system requirements for the game.

    Low(er) resolution.
    Low quality.
    The works.

    To be fair, I finished the game using a Mobility Radeon 3200 IGP. Fun times.

    but it runs too hot and is hard to find... on the other hand CW is bigger so shouldn't run so hot and also is more easily available...
