Don't skimp on the graphics!! Minimum is an nvidia 6800. I'm running 2 of them in sli. ;)
I just started playing a few hours ago and just have it on the default settings and it looks killer. I'll start playing around with the settings tomorrow.

If you're only running 2 6800's be ready for some serious framerate issues. Leave anti-aliasing off. Also there is a 3rd party patch somewhere that will let you run it in 800x600 if you're willing to sacrifice resolution for effects.

I watched the review of this game on Xplay yesterday on G4 and they said it has a ton of glitches in the physics.

I haven't delved too deeply in to it yet. (I'm trying to finish Mass Effect and Eternal Sonata first) Does anyone know if it supports PhysX?

yup. You're right. AA off, 800x600 and all settings on low is about best I can do. However, it still kicks ass. hehe
I need some new vid cards.

Fun game, but short game, and the ending totally sucked balls. I was like WTF its over already? didn't make sense to just end it there.

Figures. I was left with that feeling after HL2. I actually went to the store to get COD4 but they were out of PC version. :thumbsdown

COD4 is really short as well and not much of a story line. Just great game play.
