Additional Comments

The tested game obtained off Gamersgate, comes with Starforce DRM. I had to use an 'unprotected exe' to solve that problem. The reported graphical glitch (bug #23407) makes the game unenjoyable, thus the Bronze rating. Otherwise, performance is good, no stability issues either. The game runs out-of-the-box, without overriding any dlls. Nvidia GeForce 250 / driver 280.13
