Ok, so I'm pretty pissed by the technical side of that game.
I've had problems installing it, had to turn off my firewall and reboot my PC (AMD XP200, Win98SE, SOB, Geforce 4 TI4200) twice to just get it to install. Had to reboot PC again to start playing it. When junior wanted to play Fifa, I stopped the game ok but later when I put the CD back in it took my CD drive aeons to read it. I got the install screen first and only then the game screen.
Just now the game froze the PC for no obvious reason, and had to reboot for the n-th time.
I'll have to replay about 20 minutes of the game whenever I feel like I have some more patience. I'm absolutely frustrated and can't really enjoy so far.

The game won't even install on Curt's PC, both CD- and DVD drive run wild but cannot pick up anything (he has a P4 2.53, same rest as mine).

I'm close to swearing loud and would be grateful for any ideas as to what could be the problem. Thanks.

I'm done for the night.
