Avoid Vista! No trouble with XP. The huge free-roam arena is terrific with excellent graphic and sound effects. The terrain, flora and fauna are well realised and draw you into the world. A good sound system, particularly a capable Sub-woofer, is important as it's adds to the atmosphere. Probably the best game yet. (and I've played them all).

The graphics are not as brilliant and shiny as F.E.A.R. but that is fair enough as this is set in a far more bleak situation.
