A Good game IF you have the right video card and driver...

I have experienced the same video problems that many others have with this game. When I first purchased the game I was using an ATI X850XT video card and had no problems playing this game. I recently upgraded my video card to an NVidia 8800GT and the game would go "crazy" after about five minutes with flashing and flaky video problems to where I could barely figure out how to exit the game. It was unplayable and very frustrating. I looked for updates from Activision (of which there were NONE) and read many complaints on the net about others having problems as well. I even updated my video drivers to the latest version at the time. Nothing worked UNTIL today! I just updated my video drivers to the latest version (version 169.38) and now it works perfectly! I don't know what it is about the older NVidia drivers, but they fixed something in this latest version that also fixed the video issues with this game. I recommend anyone who has a fairly recent NVidia card to update to this driver version and see if it works for you. I don't think the ATI cards are having same issues, but I could be wrong. Hope this helps! As far as the game itself, it is very enjoyable once it all works and I do recommend it if you can get it to work properly.
