Don't buy for a laptop

Do not get this game if you're hoping to run it on a laptop. It says in small print at the bottom of the store page that it's not guaranteed to work on notebook computers, and at least on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, it definitely doesn't. The menus have horrible graphics glitches, and the actual missions won't load - the game just freezes on the loading screen. Hopefully I can run it on a 32-bit Windows XP desktop, though.

What? Laptops are computers too. So the small print are saying this won't work on a desktop?

Laptop = desktop computer modified into portable and smaller.

I have no problem running it on my laptop nor on my previous one.
It probably depends on the hardware.

Almost all games say that laptops aren't supported. It doesn't mean you can't run the game though. It just means that if you have a problem then you can't expect help from the makers of the game. It's a lot of bull seeing as how a ton of people game on laptops now. I haven't owned a desktop computer in almost five years. I can play almost every game though as long as my laptop has the horse power.
