    While I'm downloading this beast of a game. I want to know if its worth all the time its taking to download. Is it a good port like RE5 or a bad one like GTA IV?

    One of the worst ports out there, the frame rate is unstable, you can't adjust any visual settings and the patch makes a temporary back-up of the whole game, so you need 20gb to install it and another 20gb to patch it. At least this is what I heard.

    I forgot, I believe the FPS is locked to 30. I can't speak for the controls because I haven't played it.

    That sounds pretty bad. Good thing I only payed $7.50 for it. Hopefully it runs ok.

    MIne kept crashing for me inexplicably until I lowered the resolution down tremendously.  Not a good port.

    It runs pretty well on my laptop. I can run it at 1440x900 with high detail on with no slowdown.

    This port is so bad the game can outright tell you that you do not have any available save slots ....

    Played through the game with 0 problems. It may have had issues when it was first released for PC but there was a patch that fixed the performance issues.
