1.0 out of 5 stars Starforce, June 9, 2006

This game is great, it definitely beats out SimCity4 in almost every department. Graphics are nice, the social subcultures are nice, and the game is great overall. I only miss the region overview, but I'm pretty sure if they copied THAT many elements then EA would have had pretty good grounds for a lawsuit/cease and desist order.

Now onto the reason I rated this game a one overall:

I just paid the price of a full game so I could have Starforce installed on my computer. Just the other day I was deleting Starforce because it came on another game of mine. This form of copy-protection is nothing short of malware, and I've already had one dual-layer lightscribe DVD drive reduced to a worthless piece of scrap metal thanks to it. I'm getting tired of having to find cracks for Starforce games I buy legally just to avoid severe hardware damage... To the point where I've decided that I'm not going to buy Starforce protected products anymore.

1.0 out of 5 stars StarForce!!!, June 9, 2006

This game has StarForce copy protection, which is software that you do not want on your computer. Reportedly, it replaces your CD and/or DVD drivers, and often causes extreme hardware and software problems. I've been a victim of the software problems, it basically crippled my very expensive SCSI scanners and it was extremely difficult to figure out what was doing it. It could be the best game that's ever been produced, but anyone who's had the StarForce experience is going to steer clear.

Starforce....nothing else need be said. Starforce singlehandly has destroyed a number of "could be" great games...I don't know since not a single one will play on a Dell XPS "Gaming" Laptop.
