Got the game etc this morning...from Safeway/Morrisons (shhhhh).
Anyway, there's no manual - only the DVD in a DVD case. They said it's meant to be like that and that's it's only on the DVD.
I find that a little...peculiar.
So is this the case?
****
Another question is - we have 2 PCs, and obviously along with my dad, I want to play it.
Now with all this unlocking malarky, will this be possible...?
I'm sorta worried about that.
*****
And as a side note - the whole Steam unlocking thing is to kill evil communist piracy, right?
And it works by entering the CD key and stuff?
Well, erm. Great job Safeway/Morrisons for finding a great way to defeat this.
Have the jewel cases on display. So that anybody could quickly pick one up, snapshot it with their cam phone, and erm, yeah.
Cause the CD key is inside the case on the top right.
Genius.

There is no manual, it gives only installation and control instructions. It's like this to improve immersion and atmosphere, you have no idea what you're up against.
I'm not sure how it works if you install it on a second PC, I imagine you just follow the same procedure as before, can't really comment anymore myself unless you've actually tried (and failed) to do it. Then you'll have to tell us what it said.
