Good Story and Nice Action |
|
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 |
|
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 |
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.

EA doesn't tell you about having only 3 installations (DRM) on Mass Effect |
|
I've bought this game and installed it and didn't even know what a DRM was. After looking through the internet viewing how exactly the DRM works on Mass Effect. It just hit me that EA left out a big "need to know information" if I knew this game had DRM in the first place, I've would of never bought it, now I'm stuck with this expensive game that I can't install more than 3 times. |

I have a Dream! A dream where Honest Consumers Can Buy DRM FREE Games |
This is my opinion:
EA ruins another one of its games by putting illegal undisclosed DRM on its games in violation of California Law.
The DRM copy protection does not work to stop piracy! Thousands of copies of DRM free versions of this game are available online from what I have read.
All DRM does is aggravate the honest buyer of the game and make all companies in the chain of distribution (Publisher, Game Developer, & Retailers) liable to exposure from lawsuits caused by illegal undisclosed DRM software which installs on one's computer and which can NOT be removed even after the game is uninstalled!
I have a dream that one day in the near future EA and all other pc game publishers will come to the realization EMI did with its music. That realization being that "The costs of DRM do not measure up to the results" and therefore start releasing pc games in a DRM Free format.
Give the customer what they want and watch sales and profits increase and piracy go down!
DRM = LOST SALE
