Very Good

Unplayable on Windows 7 64-bit...

I had (and loved) this game for the Xbox360, and was excited to try it out on the PC... however, if you're running Windows 7 (64-bit at least, not sure about 32-bit), the game runs in "fast-forward" (meaning the characters move around at increased speed, and the cut-scenes aren't synced) and crashes after a bit of playing. This is an issue that is known to the developers, and they previously stated they were no longer going to support this game for the PC. While there are 3rd-party "patches" for this game that supposedly slow it down to playable rates, the only ones I found were for the Steam version... besides, you shouldn't have to hack a game just to be able to play it.

I honestly think, while a good (or even great) game, this should probably be removed from the "Unlimited PC Play" section since most users won't be able to play it. The game itself garners a solid "8" rating, but the fact that I can't play it on my PC stinks.

Does not work on Windows 7

It crashes right after the intro credits. No amount of tweaking was able to fix this. The developer acknowledges that the game doesn't support Windows 7 and stated they are not going to fix it. In fact they outright admitted to ending support for the PC version entirely (no patches, DLC, or updates).

Don't waste your time downloading this if you have Windows 7.
