That isn't that cheap is it? Quick search on Amazon shows the original for £8.99 and the enhanced stuff is a free patch is it not?

Yes but it's just easier to have it in one installer.

I missed this when it was on offer over a month ago on Steam and so grabbed it now via D2D

Yep, if you can pick up the original version cheap, you can patch it to enhanced for free. Not a bad deal, but I'd imagine you can pick it up more cheaply at retail.

Must buy for anyone that does not have it already.

oh and fyi the current ati drivers for the 5x series cause artifacts in this game. Hopefully the next set of drivers will fix it.

Thanks for the headsup on that, saved me some potential head scratching when I try it later

Oh god I hated this game, can I just take £12.50 in pennies and try to shove it up my backside? I guarantee it'd be more enjoyable for most folks.

no way this was an awesome game!

Trust me when I say that you do not want to experience patching the retail version of this game. It's a nightmare and a half. I re-purchased the game on Steam because I just couldn't handle patching the retail version lol

The Steam deal was cheaper

Did anyone else buy this from D2D?

I just installed the game, then installed the 200mb director's cut patch which is linked to on the same page as the game download on D2D.

Bit confused though; the launcher has the option to check for updates and it prompts me to download the 1.5 patch (although the game is already 1.5.0 something). This patch is another 300mb.

Does the game already incorporate this or has anyone else who bought the game installed it too?

The 1.5 patch apparently removes DRM, and I wasn't prompted for my serial number on install, so...hmm.

Edit: nvm, their forums provided the answer.
