StarForce!!!

This game has StarForce copy protection, which is software that you do not want on your computer. Reportedly, it replaces your CD and/or DVD drivers, and often causes extreme hardware and software problems. I've been a victim of the software problems, it basically crippled my very expensive SCSI scanners and it was extremely difficult to figure out what was doing it. It could be the best game that's ever been produced, but anyone who's had the StarForce experience is going to steer clear.

Have fun playing; forget Starforce

I too was wary about Starforce at first, but most of what you read about this copy protection is overblown rumors. It does not "drain CPU power," damage your computer, or any of that nonsense. The people who hate Starforce are either ignorant, responding in knee-jerk fashion to issues they don't understand, or pirates who'd rather not have to purchase the game. Rush for Berlin is an incredibly well-done game with great graphics and fun gameplay. There are 4 campaigns with optional and secret objectives, and 5 multiplayer modes, making for a lot of replay with this title. Try the demo before you buy, both single and multiplayer, and see if you agree.

Nice gameplay and great graphics

I was fearful of getting the same experience with the Starforce software that the other reviewers mention but went ahead with this game anyway because of postive industry reviews.

It does seem somewhat unstable (I've had two crashes to the desktop in only a few hors play), but overall I enjoy the gameplay and graphics of Rush for Berlin. (There's an every-five-minutes autosave feature which alleviates some of the anxiety you might fear about a CTD in the middle of your game.)

Especially nice to this RTS game is the ability to tilt the view to get a better view of the horizon than most RTS engines allow. Pacing is good, and I'm surprised that despite an older graphics card (GeForce Ti 4400) that this game looks as sharp as it does with rich textures and consistent frame rates.

I'm pleased with the purchase overall and would recommend the game.

[Edit: Since I wrote this review in June, (it's now September) the game has been patched a couple of times, incresing the performance of the game quite a bit. I haven't had a game crash since the second patch. Also, there are some nice unlockable campaigns: German and French.]

Great Except for Starforce...

This is actually a very good game, the only problem is the starforce protection system which some people have a great deal of trouble with. Me personally Ive never had much trouble other then being annoyed by the cd confirmation and not being able to make copy so that I dont have to worry about breaking my disc and being forced to rebuy the game.

Simply put if you've never had trouble with starforce before I doubt you will this time and the game is a great buy if you like RTS and like the ww2 settings and want to actually play as the nazi's this time.

This game has software on it that can damage a computer.

Starforce is a copy protection system, that comes with this game. Starforce, once installed, drains the CPU power of your computer, damaging performance, and hurting your Frame rates. It also slows down overall speed. Starforce cannot be removed, and if removed, will install every time your restart the game. Starforce is a dangerous program, and games containing it, should not be bought.

Stay Clear of This Software !!!

I wish I had seen the first review before purchasing and loading this on my system. It never worked correctly after multiple installs and hosed my system.

What a disapointment!

I do not recomend this product. Purchasing this product has taught me to download and try before losing my money.
