Amazon have it for £24.99. The customer reviews have really positive comments on said title (mild sarcasm).
As for me, I quite like it though really was not impressed at first. (I got it before anyone had reviewed it at Amazon btw.) It ran very poorly with just one gig of ram (PC2700 clocked to 374MHz) but in anticipation of BF2 and the relatively cheap price of ram at present, I upgraded with another 1 gig of the same stuff and no more problems. The rest of the hardware: 9800 XT, Athlon XP 3200+, Audigy 2. If you read the Tech Support FAQ over at
Deep Shadows who developed the game, there are a vast number of bugs and many people are affected by performance issues.
There are more reliable reviews than those at Amazon and myself over at
Game Rankings but generally they rate the game at 80%. It's a case of many good points spoilt by many poor ones but the game is so vast in scope, it's a case of taking the rough with the smooth if you do decide to go for it, as there is potentially a lot of reward but not without some pain. The ram is essential though.

I've only played a few short hours of BP but there is much novelty that intrigues despite the features of the game that chafe, such as the poor dialogue, car handling, bugs etc. I've often wondered what Battlefield 1942 would be like if it had a little more realism in it, like running out of petrol on El Alamein or having to do mundane daily chores like sleep and do the washing up etc on games such as Max Payne. So now I know...
