Anyone bought it, tried the demo. It has a certain appeal?

Tried the demo on a P4 Geforce4 and it ran at about 10fps. Reduced the graphics and sound settings to lowest and it ran at about 15-20fps.
I'd say it appeals to top of the range PCs only. -
I just checked the specs:

This is medocre PC gaming at its most uninspired average. Not worht teh 300meg download. I'm gonna try it once more.Comment

Yeah I agree, it's a shame really as it is quite pretty to look at. PC gaming can be so great but crap like this is somewhat depressing.Comment

Surely thats the same for all formats?Originally posted by Valken
As for Chrome its MOR.Comment

Chrome was being touted as the "game to watch" before HL2 appeared by the gaming press. And it aint, its steaming in everyway, I have no idea how they generate such average level design, its like Unreal 2 all over again.Comment

Are you judging this on the demo or the full game?Originally posted by JibberX
This isn't a dig, Im just wondering if you've worked your way through the game and it doesn't improve.Comment

True, but I think moreso for the PC. Don't get me wrong I'm a PC gamer and the platform is host to some of my all time faves but I tend to find it harder to find truely class games on it.Originally posted by replicant
This isn't about complaining or being cynical on my part it is a simple fact of PC gaming as I see it. The games are cheaper to develop and publish than console titles and there's tons of reusable code out there for developers to patch together junk and the community IS about technology more than gameplay. I used to be seriously involved in all that.
I can imagine many would disagree with me on this... that's fine by me.
My opinion is based on the demo by the way... since the demo is there to demo the game and halp my decide if I purchase the game the state of the demo means I shall not be buying Chrome and my hopes stay firmly on Far Cry being a cracking game.Comment

Im the opposite. I haven't played the demo, but Ive just started the full game. The implants might help mix it up a bit, but so far it is MOR as I said earlier.My opinion is based on the demo by the way... since the demo is there to demo the game and halp my decide if I purchase the game the state of the demo means I shall not be buying Chrome and my hopes stay firmly on Far Cry being a cracking game.Comment

I am talking about the Demo, but if the demo fails to capture me, then it's their loss I am afraid. The level design, characterisation, everything is a tad crap.Comment

Couldn't agree more. I uninstalled it after about 20 minutes. I found the "getting shot while not having a friggin clue where it was coming from" quite tedious too.Comment

Chrome was the #4 game of the year on Gamezville today, I wouldn't normally care, but KotOR was #5 and Viewtiful Joe was #3. It looked good in the 15 seconds of in-game footage they showed.
Has anyone played the full patched game recetly, becuase I think I may be interested in getting it!Comment
