    What a great game this was. Anybody who didn't play it for Xbox needs to try this out.

        I thought it was a good game. Never played the XBOX version to compare, though.

        I've played them both, and I think they're both great. The developer commentary on the PC version is totally fucking awesome, and higher resolution graphics and mouse control don't hurt either.

        The Xbox version was like "wow, I can't believe this is the Xbox, this is awesome." The PC version just made me think "Awww yeah, this is how it's supposed to be."

      Can't agree more, Xbox game of the (last) year in my book. A solid experience.

        did you try the Xbox version? It had a few framerate issues in places, but man that game was pure tits - a nice distraction from Halo2 once in a while :)

        change shader mode back from "2.0++" to "2.0"; that made it a lot faster on my GF6800, and definitely on par with Doom 3's performance. IMO the slowdowns involved to do "soft shadows" (or whatever's being implemented besides "soft shadows") aren't worth it.
