This was taken from a review I read on netjak , a game review site.

Gripes

First and foremost, the worst thing about this game is StarForce. If you're unaware, StarForce is an copy protection scheme that is both circumventable and successfully blocks legitimate copies of the game from being played. Every other game on my PC works just fine...however, Space Rangers 2 seems to work about as well as those old NES carts. I double click to launch the game, and then put my fingers over the reset button on my computer because either I'm going to get the intro screen, or I'm going get a hard-lock. I've recommended this game to friends, only to have them find the game unable to launch on their machines, due to the StarForce protection. Game publishers, this is a warning...you want to send gamers running to pirate your games and download cracks for it? Put StarForce on it. Nobody wants to pay $40 for a game they can download and run, but not run their legitimate copy of. The only people StarForce actually keeps out are the people who paid you.
