Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for PC

How was this game? Is it decent on PC? I remember hearing issues at PC launch for GTA4.

Also I only have an e8400 / 2gb ram / ATI 5770, will it play decently on this?

I ask because I see it for sale on steam for 14.99 and am rather tempted to buy. Let me know :P

    Are the two included sub-games(?) on par with the length and quality of base GTA IV? : alias

      No, they are both shorter and better. There is a lot of filler in the original GTA IV. : baron calamity

  Runs wonderfully on my DualCore 3 Ghz w/ 2 MG RAM and a GeForce GTX 260. Win 7 64-bit.
  
  Well, first it ran like complete garbage, then I set everything to medium and it looks/runs just as well (or a tiny bit better) as the PS3/360 versions. You probably need a decent PC to run everything on high, but I swear it looks great once you adjust the settings. A quick Google brought up several settings guides that helped.
  
  Fun game. Enjoying it quite a bit ~ had to download some stuff to get my USB gamepad to emulate a 360 stick so it would be recognized. Now it works fine.
