Pros: *It's a really good game! *It was $3.99!
Cons: *Not Vista or Win 7 compatible, at all - in fairness, it DOES say "2000/XP (only), " I missed it when I ordered. *Worked fine on my XP machine, but Multiplayer is not supported. *It auto installs StarForce on your computer, which installs it's own drivers that are hard to remove once there. Do a google search for Starforce protection - and decide if it's something you want on your machine. I don't. Ubisoft no longer uses StarForce.
Overall Review: I have the game installed on my old machine, which isn't even hooked up to the internet, so StarForce didn't worry me all that much. And the game was only 4 bucks, so I can't really complain. Just know if you run Vista or Win 7 - this game will NOT work.
