Anyone got anything to say about this? I heard it was better than GTA4, but I am not sure if I'm the target audience.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Do NOT NOT NOT buy this on PC. Every three blocks you drive the screen hitches no matter what your rig is like.
Seriously. I heard the stories but bought it for $5 anyways. It's unplayable. I actually looks like a fun game, in fact some around here thought it was better than GTA4.
Don't waste your money, buy it on 360/ps3.

Steamed it, no hitching. Seems a vaguely amusing game.

Seriously? Aren't you getting popups/popins all over? When I play the game stops for a half second every few blocks and if I drive fast at all things just appear right in the path I'm driving in. Makes it hard to run from the cops when a car simply appears in front of me.

I suck at the driving part, but no hitching, no problems. Running over pedestrians and driving the wrong way down the highway is just as easy at in gta4.

Q9450/8800GT, game runs flawlessly - everything high except no AA because I don't care about AA.

Makes me wonder if the game is running a lot on the CPU then. Q6600 and 8800gt here and it looks nice at a standstill, but once you get a car moving it has to stop to load every couple blocks. I've tinkered with pulling the settings way back to low and it makes no difference. Bummer. I need to pick this up on ps3, but with the glut of games coming soon I can likely pass on it.

Runs fine on my C2D E6750 on Vista 32 with an 8800GT.
As for hitching, two things occur to me: do you have V sync on in the graphics area, and do you have another hard drive in the system using an Intel storage controller chipset? The latter because I did, and perioidically it would be 'woken' from a low RPM state and that reinitialization process would cause some games to freeeze-frame for a sec.

Happens with Vsync on or off in game, and on or off through Nvidia Control panel. I have only one 7200rpm drive.
I can't figure it out at all. When the game launched the Steam forums were rife with people complaining about the same thing. I assumed the game was inherently broken on port, but I'm guessing it's my rig somehow.

That was an issue with the game up until the most recent patch.

I wouldn't call the performance exactly smooth, but I haven't seen the popin/freeze thing. Unfortunately, I'm still playing through GTA4 (which I like) and two mmo, so not sure when I'll get to SR2. But for $7.50, eh. I've now got a nice little stash of rainy day games.
I wish there were a non-uk accent for whities. I rolled up Cliff Burton, and chose what sounded like an american accent, but it's chicano. So now I'm Cliff Burton in a lowrider. I guess I'm ok with that.
