I Downloaded the Demo From the net just fine. Installed it and everything went smooth until i hit play.
I Saw the 2 swords crossed but after that it went to a black screen and played music.
If i got lucky i would hit buttons but couldnt see what was going on
(Once i hit the Exit Button)
LOL

Please Any Help on this would be Great

A black screen can be caused by various issues. The most common being DirectX is not updated to the most recent version of 9.0c. Another reason this could happen is your video card driver is not updated to the most recent version.

First, make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed, you can download the latest version from Microsoft's web site. For the latest video card drivers please consult your video card manufacturer web site.

Common video driver manufacturer links can be found below.

I'm using a 2-year-old integrated laptop vid card and can run the game just fine (on low or moderate settings)


P.S: The demo is incredibly horrid compared to how the actual game plays.
