1 Star
The Product Key didn't work out of the box.
I waited for what seemed like an eternity for this game to arrive. Then, I opened it up, and tried to install it. I entered in the product key and it said it didn't work/has already been used. This was a fraudulent purchase. This was never stated anywhere in the listing. And new product keys cost more than the game! Buyers beware, purchase this item from a different seller.
