Found this one by accident released in Oct. 2005 and picked it up. If you like blowing away hordes of things SeriousSamStyle this one is great fun. I'm a huge fan of the novel, and the movie didn't make me puke (like some apparently, yes I'm looking at you 3Demon) Pretty stiff sys requirements though - min is Radeon 9800 or GF5900, 2GHz machine but it's definitely got some pretty spots. 300 warrior bugs bum-rushing you takes a big toll too. Haven't tried co-op mode yet but IMO that's a huge plus feature.

I'm hoping that the game gets into the Waldos (powered armor) - if not I'm gonna be very bummed and have to mod the game.

    I tried the demo, but given how high the requirements were, I could'nt get a steady frame rate with the visuals I would have expected to be posible on my decent rig. But, granted, it's pretty.

    I downloaded the crashy, bug riddled (pun intended), chug-tastic demo. Tried to play through it, only to decide its one of the worst attempts at a game I've ever seen and uninstalled it immediatly.

    I have an Athlon XP3200+ 1gig ram, GFX6800 GT and it still gave me craptacular framerates, rendering errors, etc.

    I might give it another go if a free full version dropped in my lap, but thats about it.

    I also enjoyed the movie a great deal, even though I read the book.

    The patch for the full game fixes a whole barnful of bugs. It would be a pity if they didn't apply the patch to the demos.

    I too tried out the demo, the controls seemed VERY sluggish, and the overall experience was somewhat of a let down. The standard rifle damage output was pathetic at best.

    I might have to try it again with the patch..

    AMD 64 3700+, GT6800, 1gig DDR400...I got pretty decent frame rates, but i dont usually go setting everything to max and 1600x1200 like most people.

    I'd give my experience of the game a 5 out of 10 rating
