Mass Effect yes. Securom no.

SecuROM copy protection is the Mass Effect used.
These are a few facts:
1. you need, even though this is a single player game its own Internet connection necessary because the game must reactivate every 10 days. After 10 days without activation of this game is no longer usable until they again have an internet connection and the server can be reached by EA!
2. You buy not a full game license, as in a normal game purchase:
- You only have the right to 3 "only" installations. Every time you install the game on a device on which it was not previously installed, one of these licenses will be used on. Then this game is no longer available! If they want to continue using this game you have the paid EA hotline call which will decide if they can continue their game or not used.
3. SecuROM transmitted information in any 10-day activation of all your installed software and hardware to EA.

Those are the facts. It remains to every self leave if he wants to buy such a product, or not. Nevertheless, everyone should be of this buys not only aware that he promotes this game not only buys the now following problems for themselves and others accepted but also their survival.

SecuROM restricts the possibilities, the game re-sell to private persons.

Now for the game:

The game itself is very good. It is characterized by a very good nuclear sphere which is caused not only by the excellent graphics and music. But also through the very deep characters that have their own history and personality. These atomic sphere attracts a formally in an entirely new Si-fic universe with an epic story full of excitement and adventure, but also love and passion;)
Whether one, experiencing the story now as merciful Paragon or as cold-hearted mercenary who thinks only of his goal is to leave this to the players. The player's behavior affects the behavior of the gaming world to him.

As far as my impression of the Xbox360 version.

For the PC version, I can only say that I regret not buying more than. Not only that, I realized too late that the Mass Effect SecuROM has copy protection, but also because the game is still very buggy ... the memory function is Machnes time, despite the fact that one is not in the fight, disabled and after restarting the game working again, which of course has a fresh start from the last save state result. Furthermore, only by Cheat in traveling to many players, as this function is often not available. According to rumors, these are problems that should occur only with illegal copies of the game ... So it seems that this recognition has been but poorly programmed.

When you will, therefore buys the game will not only searched as a suspected felon, rayed and checked, but if you're unlucky, and moreover still above wrongly treated as one.
