The levels (included lifts :) get very complicated and way bigger than most fps games out 
now.
Somehow it seems that the _most_ important thing these days is to have the most detailed 
textures/best ATi support/best Nvidia support - and then go on bragging about it?

I've read something about the 'too fast bug', but can't quite remember how to solve it.

I still think it's a great game with great scares and great 'wows' ...
But then again I played it when it came out - might have something to do with it?
