    Has anyone tried it? If so did it mess up your laptop because it messed up my video card and I had to return it and get a new one. Im just wondering if it was already broken and the game "pused it over the brink" or if the game somehow messed up my video card. Now I dont know if I should play the game.

    You just asked the same question I asked. The game gave me a BSOD twice and then my video card started acting up.

    No way it could have wrecked your hardware. Its just not possible.

    You probably just got a faulty unit.

    LOL! It's not that system intensive of a game to corrupt your graphics card. It either must have been a bad installation of the game or bad graphics drivers.
