Mine is still downloading.  From what I've read on some forums, it appears that the full game runs much choppier than the demo.  Hopefully it is just a gfx driver issue and can be fixed soon.

A played a bunch last night. My game runs just fine. 

Some of the problems raised in the review are justified, but its not stopping me from enjoying the game.  The satisfaction of making a long distance headshot through some poor bastard's eye socket is just ceaselessly enticing.

Mine's running pretty well too but I did see a bit of a slowdown in combat.
I'm having some trouble getting AA to work properly and I'm seeing a lot of jaggies which makes finding enemy snipers in far off windows pretty tough.  Going to fiddle with Catalyst settings to see if I can get it to work like it was in the demo version.

Best moment so far, double kill shot that popped 4 kidneys in a row.

Nice...would love to see that in x-ray mode.

I rather enjoyed a shot through the leg that shattered a femur.

I've been trying to cause a grenade to explode while still on a guy's belt but I haven't managed it yet.  I just get a lot of kidney and nut shots instead (almost as good)

In my opinion it is a good and fun game to play.  Although it may not be perfect, I have played this game/demo more than anything in my recent past which is saying a lot because of my impulsive behavior:)

Yup.  I've been playing the crap out of it and having a blast.  I finally pulled off a grenade on the belt shot and thoroughly enjoyed the resulting kaboom.

Still loving the X-Ray killovision.

Are you guys having troubles with anti-aliasing?   I've got mine set to full, but the building edges really look jagged from a distance, especially in sunlight.

I seem to have the uncanny knack for grabbing exactly the wrong sniper rifle for each level.

Longest kill so far: 265m

Pulled off one 3-in-1 kill shot (although I wasn't trying.  I was desperately trying to defend myself against a horde of rushing Russians in a subway tunnel and one round just happened to pass through 3 off the buggers.

The 4 kidneys in a row is still the best X-ray shot I've managed.

Zero Punctuation has a pretty funny review of it up now.
