The Diamondback 3G for $32.49 shipped is a really sweet deal too.

I didn't enjoy the game that much. Horrible shimmering effects on my 8400GS and I didn't realise how much I played the console version just for the COOP. Single player honestly was no fun to me.

Does this still only work on Vista, or is there a way around that?

That is a sweet deal. Those Razers are by far my favorite mice.

I was amazed at how crappy the performance was on a decent machine....how does it run smoothly on a p3/733 yet run like crap on a dual core?

is the multiplayer any good?

I know someone who just ordered one of these from buy.com for $30 and some change using GCO. I'm sure he would've spent the extra couple of bucks to get it from GoGamer and save the GCO discount for another time, pretty nice deal.

It's the same multiplayer experience with a catch. Anyone using a gamepad got aim assist. Which means those playing with Microsoft's X360 gamepad on their computer had an edge as the computer would help them aim. Not so with the keyboard and mouse.

None official. This *requires* Vista.

It is a shame really. On the bright side, when people finally do downgrade to Vista in a few years, you will find these games for $10 or less.

I think there is a way around it if you search.

A hack was released about 3 days after the game was released that allowed the game to be installed and run on XP.

That said, this is a terrible port. no co-op and they did almost nothing to improve the graphics. The textures used may have looked fine on an xbox at 640x480 on a TV from 10' away, but they sure look like ass on a monitor 12" away at 1680x1050.

The graphics were redone for the PC port.. so that's not the reason. X Play showed that in the review and the graphics were much improved. However it shimmers horribly on 8 series cards and the lack of Coop was a killer for me since that's really all I play. (CoD, Delta Force Series, Joint Operations, Serious Sam series).
