Yeah... I got the demo and whenever I encounter an enemy the game gets so
choppy it's totally unplayable. I've tried it on two differemt machines.
One with an AMD K5 133 and the other with a Pentium 150. The pentium is
slightly better than the AMD but not enough to make me willing to shell out
the $39.95 for the full version.

Also the demo version doesn't recognize the AMD proce3ssor as being a
Pentium class cpu.

I've heard that Raven is working on a patch. So at least Microsoft isn't
the ONLY ones releasing betas as a finished product.
