I was a little concerned about performance problems after all I'd heard, but I'm having the opposite problem; the game runs so quickly, Yakety Sax should be playing in the background. Everything's in fast forward. It looks a little funny just running around, but trying to drive a car is quite challenging.
Edit: Some cursory googling pinpoints this as a Windows 7 problem. Oh well, 5 bucks.
A whole mess of awesomeness from coop with DigitalSyn yesterday. Riding around the mall on those ATV with his floppy sombrero had me laughing the whole time. It was stupid awesome.

Maybe a dumb question, but do you have to play a shitload of single player or something to unlock all the cool stuff you guys are doing in MP? Or is it, spend $5 at D2D, download via Steam, and let the mayhem begin?

Clothes are pretty cheap, you can have a character that looks how you want within an hour of leaving the prison area (I'd say sooner, an hour is the outside estimate).
If you don't care as much about clothes and shit, you can be doing crazy MP stuff right away since many missions will simply give you whatever weapons you need.
Can't get SR2 here from either the US or UK Direct2Drive site (IP & Visa/Paypal address restriction) - if an American were able to obtain a key for me I'd gladly reimburse him with 7 USD on his paypal account. Please PM first to avoid me having to buy a dozen SR keys :<.

most of the cool unlocks like guns and infinnite ammo can be easily got in coop with someone like me or Idolninja.
Well if D2D pulls their head out of their ass and actually lets me buy it, I'll be on tonight or this weekend. Stupid shitty CC validation. If I wasn't going to be able to use this key via Steam afterwards I wouldn't go through this shit that's for sure. Not to mention having to make a second account just for support issues? Lame.
I use the 360 wired pad with this game on PC.
It should be playable enough, especially the shooting. Driving is probably sucky, but driving is sucky on keyboard on any game.
I use KBAM. Its not too bad. Pretty good while actually playing actually, but the menus are a nightmare. No mouse support in the menus. Up and Down are w and s in the menus (like movement) but left and right in most menus to get to other selections? Well, that's left shift and left ctrl. And in gun shops you also use the directional keys. It is stupid as hell.
So, I see that it may not run well on Win7, but I bought it for $5 to put on Steam anyways! My steam id is "schmads", so feel free to invite me, though I'm not sure that I'll be able to run it yet. I'm glad to hear that this is worth the $5. I almost feel bad for picking up this, Bioshock, Riddick and Call of Juarez for $20. I mean, wow. Digital distribution is finally passing on some of those savings I've been hoping for since Steam launched!
Edit: Wow, that was fast, thanks! I'm still at work, but I'll try and get it installed before I get home in a couple hours. Hooray remote desktop!

Done. Welcome to the row!
More screenshots of my coop with stormwatcher coming. Here's a preview:
Man, what kind of computers from the future are you guys using? Those screenshots look really good.
I have Windows XP, AMD64x2, GeForce 8600, 2 GB RAM, and I had to turn everything to medium to make it almost playable while I'm on foot, but the stuttering when I'm driving is driving me insane. It seems to pause literally every other second. I defragmented my hard drive, and that helped a tiny bit, but it's still terribly unplayable while driving.
The game is amazingly fun and irreverent when I can get it to play. The FUZZ diversion was pretty hilarious, I actually laughed out loud at the blurring.

I put my specs in the OP post, and a couple of the guys have also posted theirs in the thread. I'm running everything max with:
Vista x64
Core 2 Duo 8400 3Ghz
ATI Radeon 4870HD
4GB RAM
Also, what's your Steam ID and I'll send you a group invite?

The underground mall is pretty hard to find, so I figured this handy map might help.
It's located on the north island almost directly south of the plastic surgeon where the X is marked on the map (not the player cursor.) Look for the 24 hour parking sign and mall entrance sign right below it to get into the parking garage. Take the ramps all the way down and there you'll find all sorts of mall goodness including three unique clothing stores, ATVs, sports cars, goth girls, etc.
So I took Xtarath for a fun ride. We did the Airport Drug mission up to level 6 (impossible to do alone) and unlocked the best shotty in the game plus infinite shotty ammo.
We also went to the mall and did all kinds of stupid fun things and bought the most preposterous clothes.
Pics will follow.

My Girl and Xtarath taking names. I mean, hostages.
A hero and her sidekick.

The Gary Busey stuff just felt kind of flat and not really funny. I think the official longer trailers (without him) really did a great job.
Also, I added all the pics in the thread to the OP. If anyone takes some screenshots or vids for the Game On, post them and I'll add them as well.
