From the graphics quality, it would have to be one hell of a PC video card to handle it. As little as I've seen, one moment that stays in my mind is when I'm standing in a plaza directly behind the House of Sovereigns (the parliament building) as a brisk breeze stretched curtains of dust off the rubble surrounding me.
The catch-phrase of the game's art direction is "Shattered Beauty". It fits.
I do want to shatter one myth, though: everyone fawns over the idea of an assault rifle with a chainsaw attached to it. Two things: first, it's not really a chainsawâ looks more like a serrated vibroblade (though it certainly sounds like a chainsaw); secondly, I have yet to actually carve up a Locust (or "Krug"?) with one. If one does get into melee range, it's only because I'm caught in the middle of a reload and am otherwise incapable to revving up the saw!
The saw may be fun, but you have to be deliberate about using it. I guess that little doohickey will save you if you run out of ammo, though.
Hammer of Dawn (the satellite laser) is cute in the few instances you're allowed to use it, because it gives me the impression that God is a giant 8-year old boy with a magnifying glass, and you're the toy soldier pointing out which ant he should fry next.;)

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
