I have played this game for almost 16 hours since I got it yesterday and I won’t repeat what you will hear time and time and time again about this game: the game play and graphics are absolutely phenomenal and perfect. What I will comment on the unbelievable value of this game. I did get the special edition DVD for $39 and it comes with a $10 rebate. I opened the box (which was nicely packaged) and to my surprise it comes with a set of decent Logitech headset w/microphone. So for $29, you get an absolutely incredible game, the bonus disk, and headset. It also comes with the Linux version on the DVD. How on earth can you beat that deal (I guess if it was $19)? I fired up the game on Linux and it runs great too. The OpenGL graphics under Linux aren’t as crisp but it doesn’t matter because it’s the game play that matters. For people that don’t have the best video card out there, they can still thoroughly enjoy this title. I remember when I fired up the original Unreal Tournament and I said, “This is unreal.” It wasn’t until I unwrapped UT2004 that I could say that again. Get this game and support the developers. They should be commended with such a gaming perfection.
