Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars Review @ Gamespot
   

Gamespot has chimed in with their review of Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars. Giving it a score of 8.2/10.00, the editors had this to say: <blockquote><em>SpellForce2 is certainly a pretty game with some nice visuals, though, and things such as the populated towns and cities and the accelerated day and night cycles help immerse you into another world. SpellForce 2 lets you play from a zoomed-out, real-time strategy view or a behind-the-back, third-person view. However, performance varies on a midrange machines. The frame rate does struggle if there's a lot happening on the screen at once, particularly during large battles or if you play from the third-person perspective. Thankfully, third-person doesn't seem all that useful, so you'll rarely feel a need to use it. The audio in SpellForce 2 seems standard for the genre, with the obligatory attempts at dramatic voiceovers and bombastic orchestral music. The voice acting is decent and doesn't cripple the game, so it basically does the job, while the music suffices to convey emotional moments, such as battles.</em></blockquote>Read it all <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/spellforceiiblendofperfection/review.html?part=rss&tag=gs_&subj=6151600" target="_blank">here</a>.

It seems to me that developers of almost all games coming out these days are under the illusion that everyone owns a high-end computer.They definetly need to get out more and mingle with the masses.Oblivion and now Spellforce 2 are 2 examples of what I'm talking about but there are other rpgs and mmorpgs that make the same assumption.
Money is tight folks and that does not mean just for the devs but includes us consumers as well.
