I didn't receive a manual when the game was shipped to me. Is their one inlcuded? I have received one with every other Matrix game I have bought.

I contacted Matrix tech support, but havent received an answer.

I know there is a manual with the game install, but I like to have a paper one in my hand.

If anyone who has bought the game could let me know, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!!!!!!!

There is no printed manual.

I remember that Erik explains those watermarks next to the game image at store.

Printed manuals can sometimes be fun to have especially if they contain a lot of historical data, photos, etc. But these days I think it's easier to deal with a PDF file for several reasons. First of all, you can do a search and find your answer quicker. You can also print out portions that interest you if you feel like having a paper copy. Also, it is more earth friendly...(not that I'm a tree hugger per se, although nothing wrong with that either).

Last of all, it allows the DEVs to make changes to the game and add these (hopefully) to a revised manual. Imagine if your 200 page hardcopy manual became obsolete after a few patches due to changes in game mechanics.

As long at there's a PDF manual I'm content.

Yes, no printed manual is correct. Please read my detailed reply in this thread to understand how our system works:
