 Could have been good, but... July 5, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This product is crippled with unreasonable DRM that makes it very likely you'll suddenly not be able to play this game any more. Simple things like reinstalling the game, reinstalling the OS, changing hard drives, upgrading your graphics card, etc. use up activations (which you are only allowed 3 of). Also, if you ever resell games once you're done with them, you can't do it with this game (even if you uninstall it from your computer) because the next person won't be able to play it.
The bottom line: Don't buy it. If you want to play this game, buy the console version instead.

As I played this game, I kept waiting for the part in the game that comes up which makes me want to stop playing. It never came. This was shown when I lost an entire weekend to the game. 50 hours strait on this game, and I had even went through a whole day without remembering to eat. This game is not recommended for Diabetics.

A great console to PC port.
-The story is immersive and every detail, even details that have nothing to do with the plot, have been polished to perfection.
-Your AI party members are intelligent and combat is surprisingly smooth.
-Features a Light side, Dark side way of character advancement (Think Knights of the Old Republic), except called Paragon and Renegade respectively.
-Replay value is high since a change in background or class opens up more dialogue and quest options.
-Graphically it is very appealing, which I have come to expect from Bioware.
To all the "High system requirements" nay-sayers: keep up with 2008 PC games. Solution: Upgrade your computer. It had to be done one day, why not now?
To all the "DRM" nay-sayers: businesses are in business to make money and pirating software costs them massive amounts of money. They are simply protecting their investment. After installing the game my computer didn't start oozing blood or threatening to take over the free world; point being DRM software has not negatively effected me whatsoever. Solution: Give me the keys to the Waah-bulance and just play the game.
Excellent RPG !! July 4, 2008

Fantastic SCI-FI action-RPG game. The graphics are great, gameplay is smooth, controls are easy, and the voice acting and music is superb. I am playing this on an older XP computer with a GT7600 video card ... no problems. I highly recommend this game!
 Great game, horrible copy protection scheme !!! July 3, 2008

A great game, still playing it. What kills it is the fact it will only allow you to install the game 3 times on your PC. That is simply OUTRAGEOUS. This is what pushes people into pirating PC games. Horrible !!!
