"A bit of a pain in the back side" on April 18, 2011 by mathewpart

Pros: None that I saw

Cons: Getting started, how many times have to enter cc number...

Summary: I just purchased this game through steam and was it ever a pain in the butt. Took me over an hour just to figure out where to find the Playonline registration code. I googled it to find out where to find it to no avail. That is after I purchased the full version of the game, one credit card entry. Next I was asked again to enter some more credit card info for monthly fee. Then was asked again. Then was asked to verify...Took me over 1 hour and half figureing out all the crap they wanted me to do just to be able to get in the game... Then I FINALY get in and then I have to figure out how to get a game Id code...... Cool as if im not sick and tired of filling out paper work to play a freaking game. So after about 2 hours of paper work I have a 8.5 hour patch . Wich I would have expected of a game that is 9 years old. I get logged in the next morning to find out that the game was kind of crappy for the first 20 minutes im trying to figure out how the heck you get this thing to work with keyboard, after 20 minutes of dialog of course.. So after about 12 hours and 10 bucks I have come to the conclusion that the game sucks.

Also CNET my first review here so maybe you guys should fix your spastastiic scroll bar every time i type a letter it goes back to the first wordI typed at the begining of this review...
