ugh:
It messed up my computer, slowed everything down, and if you don't have a joystick...forget it.
needs patience:
the games are great, but you need the cd in to play and it verifies slowly...every time you switch games. It's irksome.
Starforce is bad:
It's too bad this game uses Starforce copy protection. I don't want to copy the game or do anything illeagal, but I can't use any CD burning software with this installed. Also if you remove it, starforce does not come off your PC. If you google "starforce removal tool" you can download an exe to remove starforce from your PC. You also have to take a few other steps, you will find instructions there. There is currently a boycott on games using starforce, and for good reason. I do not recommend buying this... more info
