Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all, I would like to mention that I have NEVER before had problems with DRM protected games not working on my PC, or DRM messing up my PC. I am not one of those people who go around writing bad reviews for everything that has DRM on it, this is the first time I even decided to review a game on here. While I am AGAINST DRM (the idea of it, and the principal) - this is the 1st time I have had a major issue with it. I bought this game (TRINE) at BEST BUY (the store... not online). I physically went down to the store, and purchased the actual game. I did NOT buy the digital download, or order it online. I have an external USB DVD RAM Drive, and no CD / DVD drives inside my PC. I WAS able to install the game from the DVD, however, my drive was making all kinds of crazy noises (I swear, I thought my drive would take off and fly out of the room under it's own power - it sounded like a freakin' helicopter LOL), and the install went VERY SLOWLY, for a game of this type. After installing, I tried to play the game and immediately got an error from the SecuROM CD verification check. It told me to insert the ORIGINAL CD, not a backup. Well, I never made a backup, and only used the original. I went to their website and checked for patches. Updating to the latest patch at the time (1.05) did not help either. I tried to register on their forums to get help, but after waiting for hours and hours, I never got the e-mail verification email from them (it's been 24 hours already - at the time of this review). The publisher's site had some generic (BS / non-helpful) information about the error, and I didn't get anywhere with their "support" either. So after a lot of frustration I decided finally to return the game the very next day. Unfortunately, no one lets you return "opened software" anymore, but the supervisor at BEST BUY was in a particularly good mood, and decided to let me exchange it for another game of the same price. There is absolutely NO WARNING on the box WHAT SO EVER That it is protected by SecuROM, nor that even has any DRM on it. For this very reason, I wanted to warn people to be AWARE that if they buy it - they do so at their own risk. The game MAY or MAY NOT WORK... as SecuROM may interfere with certain drives / driver configurations. Since I never got to actually play (and enjoy) the game, I can not give it any stars. I am strictly just telling my (short-lived) experience with the game, and wanted everyone to know: IT COMES WITH SECUROM DRM. A pity, it looked like it would have been a neat game. I recommend getting the STEAM version, or another digital download version - as those do not have the SecuROM protection.
