1 out of 5 stars Worse Choice Ever   June 22, 2008
Christian Sandovall (KETTEING, OH United States)

Listen when people say this DRM is a problem and a pain. Right now I have a fifty dollar paper weight. I wanted to play this game it looked great for X-Box but it causes to many system problems even on a very powerful gaming computer. I went from trying to play Mass effect which caused several software conflicts and system crashes to going back to Icewind Dale a game made In early 2000 without codes and protection. Now I must admit I will not buy any product with DRM or anything like it. Now I will wait till the hacker and piraters fix it and then if I want it I'll play it. Ive only felt the need to have one hacked game because I didnt think it would be good then I bought the expansion packs which still made the company some money. Bottom line is this program only effects Legit buyers making them get pirated versions. Only get this for X-box if you own one


1 out of 5 stars DRM all over the place   May 31, 2008

As far as I am concerned a game that can not be used without significant restrictions is seriously flawed. From a customer standpoint buying Mass Effect is not classical purchase but a lease with an unknown duration and partly undisclosed terms.

Just for the record, the game was cracked within two days - while the customers suffer, the pirates laugh.

BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY THIS GAME. IT WAS NOT ON THE MASS EFFECT WEBSITE.. IF YOU HAVE AN 8500GT YOUR CARD WILL NOT WORK. WHEN I GOT THE GAME IN THE MALL. IT SAID IT ON THE BOX (FOUND OUT AFTER I OPENED IT) WEBSITE SAYS WILL WORK WITH 6800 OR BETTER BUT WILL NOT WORK WITH 8500 GT

I played this game on a friend's PC and LOVED IT.

Been excited about this game since I saw the first trailer, but after reading about the problems with DRM... Sorry, I'll have to pass. No game is worth allowing a company to punish its paying customers so much.

Mark me up as another gamer who would rather never play a game they've been looking forward to, than to take a hard DRM up the kiester.



2 out of 5 stars OMG. HL2 all over again   May 30, 2008

Thanks for the heads up. I was just getting ready to buy this game until I began reading some of the reviews. Sounds like HL2 all over again. Even to this day I have problems playing it even in offline mode. For a week or 2 I got the message "Game is not available. Please check back later" even in offline mode. Maybe it was sunspots. Anyway I foresee even more problems playing this game. Sad that in there greedy attempt to make sure somebody doesn't steal a penney from them bioware and ea may lose a bundle on this game. Sad that those of us who purchase games have to pay for the inconvenience also. It was a sad day when EA purchased Bioware and Obsidian. Guess now were starting to see the results.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
