Review: This was a mixed bag. Playing through the game was great but there were some things that were less than stellar. Install time was horrendous. I took a 10 minute shower nuked a slice of leftover pizza and come back a total of about 20 minutes later and ...

Epinions Better on XBOX 360

by  thegsrguy,  May 13, 2008
Pros: Immersive game play, stunning visuals, dark & depressing
Cons: Terrible PC conversion, randomly deletes saved games, requires Games for Windows
