What graphics card are you using ? To play games, you need the correct 3d accelerated driver. Ubuntu will install by default a capable driver for the card, but not one which gives 3d acceleration. I use an Nvidia card, and the commercial 3d driver for that is in the repositories. Not used ATI for many years, so I cannot comment on that. It *should* run as fast as it does (or very close to it) in Windows. If it seems really slow and clunky, then I think you are correct regarding the drivers. The Loki installer is for installing from the disk - as you have discovered, wine is the best option if you have the game already installed on your other drive.
