 SecuROM is a deal killer October 10, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was planning to purchase this game, but thankfully read the Amazon reviews before hand. SecuROM is simply not an application I want on my PC.
Intrusive DRM = No sale October 10, 2008

As a big fan of the KOTOR series, I've been looking forward to playing this game.
Then I read about the DRM ...
I didn't buy Bioshock --- because of DRM. I didn't buy Spore --- because of DRM. And now I'm not going to buy Mass Effect --- because of DRM. When will these companies learn? You can't treat your customers like criminals.
 Good Story and Nice Action October 6, 2008

At first I found it a bit slow, specially finding my way through Citadel, while understanding the game itself. But soon enough, it got very entertaining, specially the story in wich you are involved. Good graphics and powerful upgradeable weapons. I liked it a lot and recomend it.
KOTOR was better October 5, 2008

This is another over-hyped game from EA that is all hype and DRM. Don't waste your money.
 Negative reviews about the DRM aside, this is an excellent game October 4, 2008

I almost did not purchase this one due to all the negative reviews mainly associate with the copy protection software.
The game is outstanding. The best graphics I have ever seen and it is incrediably stable. I had one crash to desktop during the entire time I played Mass Effect (approx 80 - 100 hours or so of gameplay). The only negative I have to say is all of the off story line missions use the same exact map layout which is a bit immersion breaking.
I ultimately decided to buy it because I was about to replace my computer anyways and was therefore not concerned with the problems that often come along with copy protection software.
I have had severe problems with the starforce line.
It is a shame that companies need to protect their intellectual property. I personally believe it penalizes those who purchase the software legally to a much greater extent than any protection it provides against cracking.
It would be nice if there was a fool-proof un-intrusive means of protecting digital data. Until there is though evils like securom and starforce are unfortunately what the industry has resorted to and I normally will vote no with my purchase.
