it's definately worth it, but it does have some, moderately steep requierments (if you got a good gaming pc you'll be fine, but i remember when itcame out like three years ago and peopl ehad to basicly rebuild their computer from ground up just to play it.... and that was just at the medium detail level.... i'm running core 2 duo, 2 gigs ram, radeon x1950 pro extreme (256GB) and can run it at full perfectly)
