Area 51 PC- Buy it or not? IT HAS STARFORCE 3!

You can install the game without installing StarForce. The first time you start a StarForce game with the original executable it installs StarForce and makes you reboot. Now the StarForce virus is in your system.

On the other hand, if you install the game and then replace the exe with the crack, then you can play without installing StarForce.

In other words, never run the original exe of a StarForce game if you want to protect your system.


EDIT: But if you want to make a point and support the boycott of SF, don't buy any games with this protection and make sure you tell the developers and publishers why you didn't buy it.

I've told a half-dozen game companies that I didn't buy their game because of SF. Even some I had no intention of buying anyway, hehe.

Everyone who posted on this subject, thanks. I'm buying this in half an hour as it costs me about 6.99 for a repackaged copy at my local store. I guess somebody else found a fun surprise for 50 bucks . Hope that package is still here though fromt his morning.

This should be on the advertising label from what I heard about starforce:

"Children and adults alike will have hours of fun as thier system crashes on them and they get the joy of trying to figure out WTF went wrong and then get to enjoy the return your sh_t experiance. Remember its all part of the fun! Buy it now, not only do you get the high speed fps action but a free "virus hacker attack" expansion pack!"

I bought this and played. No starforce. Oh, and if you do get starforce on your comp, you can remove it with panda platinum 2005 (a very good antivirus worth every cent updated every few hours).

I got a bug with the game image freezing but the games goes on and you can move and shoot but you don't see what is happening because one frame froze and goes on top. Not sure if crack or game bug.......
