I purchased the game. Had a few issues and tried to find the read me file. apparently (and I do know my way around computers) I did not get it in the download. I play many of these games without an issue but this one is either stuck or I am missing something. I would buy the guide but it seems after reading this that it is defective too. I have never had a problem with gamehouse before and have purchased many games. If you want to save I have to right click the mouse to get the drop down to save. Is it worth the money to buy the guide?
