I'll post my PC vs. Console impressions tonight. Here's to playing at 1920x1200!

Downloaded on Steam for $39 today.
So far the game looks great at 'better than HD' resolutions, and runs butter smooth. No matter how much action is going on, there is no slowdown. Sounds great and plays in surround sound.
One annoyance: there is no way to remap the controls. I'm sure this will be addressed in a patch as the functionality looks like it's there, but it just doesn't do anything. This didn't affect me as I use a programmable keypad and mouse, so I just set up a new profile, but it would have been nice to do it the other way around. There are other ways around it, but not being able to remap keys on a PC game is a joke.
The PC port looks good. It's butter smooth, the game controls great with the keyboard and mouse (flying gets a bit crazy!), and the game looks fantastic at 1920x1200 on high detail. Very sharp! Load times are so fast you almost don't notice it's happening.
I can recommend the PC version if you have the horsepower. It runs perfectly on my machine, but I do have a pretty burly system.
*Edit: Just read that the framerate is locked at 30fps. This seems to be a problem for some people, but it doesn't seem to bother me. YMMV
