Is the game even out yet?!? I see it for sale at EBgames.com on the 17th of October!

If you are refering to the Demo I wouldn't put a lot of stock into that. Sometimes the Demo's aren't quite up to par with where the actual game is! Also, Microsoft may release a few patches to help configure the game to run better on different types of hardware a little later on.

Same thing happened with Lock-On Modern air combat when it first came out. Lots of people were highly dissappointed that UBISoft released a game that only played (barely) on high end systems of the time. I had to shelve it for years before I had a system capable of playing it with lots of detail and good FPS.
