To start off with this game has some of the most amazing graphics I have ever seen.  It takes full advantage of Nvidia and ATI's latest T&L engines with gorgeous results.  That being said, you are going to need a serious machine to play this game.  If you don't have a Geforce/Geforce2 or Radeon as well as a speedy processor and lots of memory then you are going to miss out on this games outstanding graphics.  Fortunatley this game is able to stand on its own without the graphics.  The storyline is humorous to the point where I burst out laughing at many of the cutscenes.  The gameplay is solid, the designers obviously spent a lot of time with this games engine.  I have yet to truly play around with the multiplayer capabilities of this game, but from what I've seen in single player there is real potential for a great LAN game.  That being said this game does have a single fault.  I have found a few annoying bugs.  I am sure these will be fixed in a patch in the near future (they're not that bad anyway) so that shouldn't hold you back from getting this game.  If you have the system to support it don't just sit there GET IT!
