I recently got this game and I must say it is quite an amazing piece of work. It faintly reminds me of Doom 3, but it’s a lot better. I was disappointed with how short this game was, however it has an interesting twist in the storyline towards the end.

I also failed to mention that the graphics card I'm using is an over-clocked NVIDIA Geforce FX 5800, being played on High settings, and is set at 1024x768 resolution.

Surprisingly it's averaging around 50-60 FPS. The only time it dropped to a point where it became unbearable, is at the beginning of the Data Storage Terminal level.

The beginning of it? Or the end, when you get rescued?



Yeah I was quite surprised when I clicked on auto-detect settings and it recommended high. I myself was expecting medium, or atleast low at 800x600 resolution.

It has a completely different storyline than Doom 3, with a much different environment. I liked what I played anyway.
