I'm not sure exactly how the PC version plays. All I know is that I found the Xbox version, thoroughly enjoyable with a few minor exceptions. In fact I would rate this as the most fun I've had with ANY game since Fallout 1 & 2. And to be honest, the main reason I stopped playing was that I was tired of aesthetics of "Pink" and Black Armor. (Also when you ratchet up the difficulty level things change...)

So, I'm sorry, but Brett's evaluation of this game is really harsh. And my estimation of the judgment of the review staff has taken a significant turn for the worse!

Personally I also had a love hate relationship with this game. It constantly blue screened my 8800 GTX SLI setup. Even when I set the game to use only a single GPU it still blue screened occasionally.

I didn't however find the load times excessive however. Nor did I think the visuals were poor. This may simply be a case of throwing more computing power/highest setting graphics at the issue. It would have been interesting to see what setup the reviewer used. But few reviewers disclose that these days, even though arguably there is a wider variation in screen resolution, for example, across the user base than ever before.

For myself, I play a LOT of shooters and so this t*tle which focused more on storyline and plot than shooter mechanics was a welcome change of pace. This game has the best storyline in any PC game. Ever. If you thought KoToR had a good storyline (I did), then this game just takes it to the next level. If storyline and plot are less interesting to you, well then perhaps you'll feel the same way the reviewer did.

» Whats the PC spec?
Why no PC spec given in the review... Yeah I know the box has its recomended and such, but they are often a bit dodgy.

I'm playing the game with an AGP Radeon 1950 and a Dual core 6300 @ 1.86. Everything is set on high and seems to run fine. I did have to turn off the Depth of field since the 1950 is having problems rendering the lights without heavy pixelization. According to the readme file it supposed to be fixed on the next catalyst release.
