An expensive game rental which installs malware
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.

SecuROM is a deal killer
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
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
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.
