ehh the integrated graphics is sketchy, but if you had a video card you could run it decently.

orange wolf · February 09, 2009, 07:05:05 PM

i wish i had one but all im thinking about now is being able to run it.

FrAgGEr · February 09, 2009, 09:29:51 PM

Video cards aren't that expensive, i highly recommend one.

Also, minimum requirements says you won't be able to run it, but it could be possible.

just got back from the store, just thought I would take a chance, the install went fine the game started, it all runs fine, its a bit slow but its playable.
