Starforce: Sniper Elite

[Aldarion666]

Some days ago I saw this game on a PS2 and I really liked it, so I was going to preorder it for my pc...all of sudden, browsing the review I read that it was protected with Starforce.

I made some resarch on internet, and I found a crack by Reloaded for it, here's the main readme stuff:

Starforce 3.5
Install the game
Copy the cracked executable from the /crack dir on the DVD to your installation directory (probably this crack was meant to ship with the warez version, since I doubt that there will be a crack dir on my dvd...)
Play the game

So, before I burn my money on it, I ask to you:

1) Has this game really been cracked? How could it be so easy...as far as I know Starforce required lots of workarounds to get bypassed....could I it really be so simple?

2) When I will install it, it will obviously install the Starforce crap too, right?
After applying the nocd, can I remove the malicious drivers? If yes, where's the driver's removal tool, could you link me??

3) I use burning apps (Nero) and Daemon tools often, expecially the latter, since Im a collector and I want my disks to survive me....will installing this game screw these softwares?

Im basing the "buy or not buy" decision on your feedback, thanks in advance.
