Wasn't sure what to expect when I bought the game yesterday, wasn't even sure it would run well on my crappy laptop with its integrated Intel card....
But not only does it run exceptionally well, but it is by far the best looking game this laptop has seen :)
I'm also really enjoying the gameplay and the story as well. Playing on the Normal difficulty setting, and not having any issues with the checkpoints so far. Yes, the level where i needed to avoid the guards raising the alarm caused me to retry half a dozen times - but really, it's not that long and not such a big deal - you learn from your deaths like in Another World and Super Meat Boy :). And not having the quicksave crutch really raises the tension.
If the difficulty truly spikes later on, I might revisit my opinion, but for now I give the checkpoint system a thumbs up!
And.... Adam West!!!!
