This game may be great, but I'll never know!

My package did not contain a CD key, so I couldn't run the game.

The good news is, after installing it I checked for Starforce protection, and the US version I purchased does NOT have Starforce protection.

I'm waiting for a CD key from Aspyr support, and in the meantime I suppose I'll look for other sources...

One of the Best RPG/RTS game.

A must play RPG/RTS game. This game is so much fun, very well designed, and I loved playing every minute of it. It is hard to find a sequel lives up to its predecessor but Spellforce 2 truly a remarkable game.

The game has almost has all the right ingridients that needs in RPG. Group of heroes leveling and upgrading weapons and armor doing exciting quest and great story line. Optional quest like building your homeland and side quests are very fun to play as well.

If you are a RPG fan, you must play this game. Needed to say I bought the sequel, "Dragon Storm" as well? And this was anoter excellent expansion that you must play. I just love this game.

Just purchased, and no CD Key in the box. Checking the Forums, it doesn't look like this is an isolated incident. Support is only open until 6pm CST. I have feeling this is going to be ugly...

After buying this game in spite of the bad reviews it was generating, simply because the original was said to be so good, i cannot even play the game because it did not come with a CD key. I am very dissapointed that people would have overlooked this very simple detail. Do not buy this game.

More Starforce to bake your computer from Aspyr

These guys need to wise up and stop putting those drivers in their games. The only thing it hurts is legitimate owners. My last hard drive, Spellforce 1 decided my DVD burner was illegitimate and so started corrupting files; wonderful. Spent 40 bucks for something that ate my computer.

Ships Without a CD KEY!!

Be careful - our copy of the game arrived with no CD Key - which is required to install the game. From everything I've seen, this is quite a common problem.

A definite "Do NOT buy" if there ever was one...

This game looked good. Some of the reviews were great. I was hyped about the game, the premise, and what it promised to offer. However, I could NOT get the thing to run!!!

I'm very computer proficient and play a TON of computer games, so troubleshooting is not something that really phases me. Let me just say that I have NEVER had the experience of 1) not being able to get a game to run or 2) having as many problems with tech support as I did with aspyr.

Here's my experience...
--I've loaded the game on 4 different computers with no success (one of them a brand new Alienware computer).
--I've even tried completely re-installing windows XP, and still the game would not run on a "clean" system.
--Initially tech support said they couldn't help me and pawned me off to their licensing company...who said that they don't do tech support and said I needed to talk with Aspyr.
--Aspyr said that I should just patch the product and it would work fine. When I said I already did that (under multiple tries), they said to try it again.... *Sigh*
--I've read on some boards that XP service pack 2 can mess up the game. I suggested that to support but they flat out denied it. I then installed XP (with SP2) onto a formatted computer...and again the game would not run.

All in all, I SERIOUSLY doubt I would try another one of their games. Even if it worked, their support stinks to high heaven.

Stay away. Stay faaaaaar away.

One of the most unique RTS games you'll ever play!

I played many RTS games in my life (Warcraft III, Starcraft, Red Alert 2, Rise of Nations, etc) and while that list probably contains better games, I think this is the most unique RTS I have ever played. The mix of Roleplaying and RTS is seemless, and very fun. Occasionally the game bogs down in spots but the story is pretty solid but while most everything in this game is good but not great, the mix of Roleplaying and RTS is so well done it is not to be passed up if you are willing to try it!

My package did not contain a CD-Key so the game is unplayable. Aspyr's technical support is abysmal. It is likely I will think twice before I purchase any of their software much less give this a positive review, sorry to say.

BEWARE DELL XP USERS

Though the product states it is compatible with Windows XP, it would NOT RUN on our very standard Dell XP. Even worse, after the long install (showing no problems), after it would not run at all, the UNINSTALL feature would NOT WORK. We had to fix registry before we could even get the program off our computer.
