fair warning, this game is still very very buggy. if you use an SBlive, a TNT or geforce based card or have an AMD cpu you might want to hold off until the newer patch is out. And for those of you that I KNOW are going to say 'but I have X and it works just fine for me!' Yeah ok so you got lucky then. there is a really high incidence of problems with those cards and cpus. I didnt think I had anything to worry about until I got hit with the showstopper bug that they are suposed to be trying to fix. it is a majour error and that only way to maybe get around it is to reinstall the whole game without the multiplayer part. Very annoying. Still Ive enjoyed the game immensely even tho it annoyed the hell out of me that I had to reinstalled 2x
