Let me preface this review by saying that I am a huge fan of the GOG platform. I'm a console player by trade, and would have otherwise missed out on some classics and must-plays. I have almost 200 games in my library, and have never had to so much as tweak any of them to get them to run smoothly on my Windows 7 machine. That is, before Redguard. From the default download, the game ran at 8-12 frames per second, the cutscenes stuttered and froze, and the controls were delayed by a solid 2 or 3 seconds. I spent a night fiddling with various fixes on the forums, but to not much avail. It was better for sure, maybe 20 FPS, but at best it's still just too choppy to be fun to play, and any real action on the screen reverts the game to molasses. I was really looking forward to playing this game and would have loved to give the game itself a positive review, but the emulation quality of this release means that I won't be able to. :(
