Agreed. This game is fucking incredible. Some of the effects and particles need a little polishing.

But still. Pretty boss.

SSE is just an instruction set that your processor can handle, means it will run better on your processor.

I said in the original post, it was based upon the java based versions, but this one is a lot better physics, and more frequently updated.
