I have not played it well enough to know whether I really like it or not, but I can comment on performance so far from what I have played of it on both my Crossfire system and my sons gaming system here. My Crossfire system initially had a weird texture issue going on with the water at the beginning. AMD released 11.2 CAP4 which resolved that. Regardless of the texture fix, actual performance was more sluggish with two cards then one, with the fps being 10-15 fps lower then single card performance. My crossfire system uses a Athlon II X4 635@2.9ghz pair with two HD 5770 cards. Running a single 5770, with the game set to 1360x768 and "Hardcore" settings, resulted in this:

Frames: 41207 - Time: 807336ms - Avg: 51.041 - Min: 31 - Max: 89
My sons system uses a Athlon II X3 435@2.9ghz paired with a single HD 4830. I ran the game in the same area I did on my Crossfire system, with the game set to 1280x768 and "Advanced", and his minimum fps was recorded as 27 fps, and the average was 37fps. I dont remember the max fps off hand though. Gamer mode was quite a bit faster on his, but since it was fully playable in Advanced, that is going to be the setting for him to play it at as the performance/visual trade off was good. I may try the game on my FX-62 SLI 8800GTS system in a day or two also, if I have the time.
Anyone else run it yet on their gaming pc? Also, hearing things about the PS3 release not being up to snuff, and that the 360 release is much better. Anyone try both that has any thoughts on that?
