  • Probably a dumb question--manual

    Okay, I just bought the game from EB, and there was no manual in the box. Was I sold an incomplete product, or is there actually no printed manual?

    There is a manual, but it is more like a pamphlet. There is also a separate card with a few charts. Neither are comprehensive, but both came with my EB copy of the game which I pre-ordered by mail.

    If you want a complete manual, the official strategy guide is a very good substitute. It also has some good tips on strategy.

        Right-click on the cd drive with the RON cd in. Select 'Explore' and then go to the goodies folder. There are pdf files of the manual in most languages.

        I think that companies leave out the manual so they can sell strategy guides. However, there should be a little 38 page brocure and a fold-out tech chart.

          I live down by Briarwood... EB is there in the mall.

          Now I'm pissed.

            Oh, yeah. I forgot about them. [edit- googled for school]

            Back on topic: was the box unopened when you got it? Stopping by EB and screaming at them can't hurt.

                So you can scream at them in style?

                But that's a shame about the manual being so inadequate, though 38 pages does sound like it could some close to explaining the game - but charts sound cool.

                  I thought about starting a "Probably a dumb manual -- question?" copy-cat thread, but don't want to be sent to Rahlcatraz.
                  If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

                          I thought I saw an online manual on the cd. Hmm..

                          I did get a paper manual with my copy.
