TL;DR - great game but it's very difficult to play it on ANY intel video hardware. This is probably the best game of the series. Remember to download and install the "unofficial" patch - made by one of the devs. Bit boring if you play on very easy though. FOR ALL INTEL VIDEO CARD USERS - this game will NOT run on Intel hardware in Windows. Period. Even if you have a monster of an Intel Video card, even if you have the latest and greatest drivers. Stop trying as the game is pretty much designed to fail when Intel drivers are detected. If you want to play it, there is a way... To play on Intel video card, you must use LINUX and WINE (Windows emulator running in Linux). The way I do it is: - run a virtual machine on my Windows laptop - install ubuntu on the virtual machine, install WINE on ubuntu - copy all files related to the games from windows to the ubuntu machine - run the games from within ubuntu I can do it and I get roughly the same performance as I had back in the day. High speed single core recommended ;) The game cannot really use dual cores.
