Just what i expected it to be - a continuation of crysis' great graphics and gameplay. Only 4 stars for short campaign
 Worthless, since you can't buy the game October 9, 2008

Yet another game ruined by "activation" DRM. For the price of a game purchase, you're getting a rental you can only play until you've needed to install it a certain number of times, or they take down the activation server, whichever comes first. (And of course you have to have an internet connection that can reach that server...)
On top of that, you're left with software of unknown quality of function running on your machine, even if you uninstall the game.
Played it from a friend, returned it three hours later. October 7, 2008

The verbosity of the people flaming the game for the DRM is amazing, most organized anti DRM complaints I've seen are very rude and useless. Thanks guys, this is how change is made.
Yes, most of the DRM complaints are sadly true, it WILL crash your system and it's difficult to get off of your computer, much like earlier antivirus products. Unfortunately, the DRM is written maliciously and does not stop piracy, only legitimate gamers.
I frequently trade single player games with a friend, after trying to get past a new explorer.exe crash (which is caused by an obscure registry key made by securom) I eventually got into the game and tried it.
It's beautiful as ever, with the same house-crashing physics we came to enjoy in crysis, plus some additional content. It is short, very short on easy difficulty.
The gameplay does not warrant the DRM, nor does the updated engine warrant it. After beating it, I tried to uninstall it, and unfortunately had a lengthy battle with securom totaling more time than I spent on the game.
They will most likely release a patch that removes the DRM once the main group of sales is done. Wait until then, you'll get a better product for less money and less trouble.
I refuse to buy games with SecuROM DRM October 7, 2008

Games that use SecuROM v7 are anti-consumer. SecuROM limits the number of times you can install the product and essentially takes away your rights to use the product you paid for. Limited activations are crap. I will not buy any games with limited activations. If this is the way PC gaming is going, then I really dont care if PC gaming dies.
 If You Want A Virus Install This Game. October 7, 2008

Its seems the EA wants to know what your doing with your PC. They say they are not going to monitor gamers habits, but we all know that's not going to happen. So if you want to play a great game and give EA complete access to your computer go for it. And good luck getting their spy ware off. Better off reformatting. I my opinion its not worth it. I wanted spore too but I'm not loading that crap on my PC.
