Have you installed video drivers to get 3D acceleration? Did you read the winehq appdb to see if the game requires any extra tweaking to run in wine?

Wine is a best effort so not all apps run. Some won't even install. So don't expect miracles In some cases it can actually get a few extra FPS than a windows system (Doom3 etc). Is there a native Linux installer for the ame using the files you have?

Ok From the Wine Apps database
http://appdb.winehq.org/

I used the quick seasrch tool at the top right and found this page that might be able to help. Please give them feedback on your experience and feel free to ask them questions
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14592

There were lots of other links but i only explored this one. Trying the search yourself might be more useful.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
