Excellent game - If played right. Perhaps a little to slow paced for adrenaline junkies who like to complete games in 5 hours. Play slower, smell the roses you know? It's an adventure game played first person, not UT III. Anyway, there's a little known unofficial patch that allows you to alter the FOV in both standard and sneak modes. You can find it here....

I play on a 24" monitor at 1920 x 1200 using fov 85 and it looks just fine...

Not sure if this affects it's widescreen rating though?

None at all. A stretched game with an increased FOV is still stretched. It's not like being vert - where increasing the FOV turns it into hor +.

Whatever you want it to be. The game uses a 4:3 aspect ratio for everything so teh fov will just zoom things out but they will still be distorted.

It is a preference thing.

Why is the game listed as having a "native" widescreen implementation? The widescreen isn't native, the picture is clearly stretched from 4:3.

Post subject:  Re: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Native (method) only makes sense when paired with Stretch (screen change); the combination results in the grade (Widescreen Unsupported). That's why Support summary starts with Screen change, not Method ;)

Native support simply means you don't have to do anything special for the game to run at a widescreen resolution.
