Velvet Assassin for PC Reviews by Gamers

Well like almost every other game on here I am having problems playing it. It seems like no one else is having a problem with this paarticular game but I certaintly am. I can start up the launcher but when I press play it just exits out. Any suggestions?

The graphics were really surreal and awesome, but my character moves way too slow (even the AI moves faster and normal) and the reaction time is delays as much as 3 secs, which really counts when you're using the morphine or trying to sneak past crowds. I fiddled with the resolution settings with very minimal results. It also had very akward controls. I understand it may very well be my computer, but I still find it a pity that I can't play this properly...
