First of all, the game you are trying to run (like many retail videogame titles out there) is developed for Windows, not Ubuntu. They are entirely different platforms.

There are however methods to get this game running on Ubuntu by launching it through a program called WINE.

According to the WINE application database, this title is playable under WINE (with a few issues). See here for details and a short installation tutorial:

Can you help with this problem?
