 I really wanted to purchase this game!! October 16, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought Mass Effect for the XBOX on the day it was released.
In fact I bought the XBOX just to play the game.
The game is great, but I am really a PC Gamer and not much of a console person. I'm just used to a keyboard and mouse and find aiming more accurate than using a gamepad.
I came to Amazon.com just a minute ago looking forward to buying the PC
version for my newly upgraded gaming rig.
After reading the reviews about the horrible copy protection that EA Games slapped on it I have changed my mind. I never bought Half-Life 2 for the same reason.
If they come out with a 2.0 version that does not contain SecureRom (like X3: Reunion did) I will definitely go out and buy it.
It's like they took a Ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection and dumped rancid catsup on it. Why???
 Great fun October 15, 2008

If you like shooters and star trek then this is a great game ,I love the fact that you can make your own character. Dictating how you want your character to look . This is the third Bioware game I've purchased and I've enjoyed every one.
An expensive game rental which installs malware October 15, 2008

Buyer beware - the product description does not describe some important aspects of the game.
This game requires an internet activation, so if you have no internet connection you can't play. Also you are limited to 3 activations - so effectively you are not buying and owning your game, you are merely renting the game.
This game secretly installs copy-protection software called SecuROM which can cause many problems for your computer, some of which are:
1. When installing the game the user is not informed that SecuROM is being installed.
2. SecuROM denies administrators full access to their PC, and blocks the administrator from editing certain parts of the registry.
3. SecuROM can interfere with the operation of hardware, specifically disc drives.
4. SecuROM can interfere with the proper operation of software.
5. When the game is uninstalled SecuROM is not uninstalled - it remains permanently on your computer.
6. The manner in which SecuROM runs on your computer is similar to that of malicious software called malware, and many people do indeed consider SecuROM to be malware.
Currently two class action lawsuits have been filed against Electronic Arts (EA) for their use of SecuROM.

I think this game was extremely well made and con not wait for the sequels.
SecuROM is a deal killer October 10, 2008

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.
