A Fantastic Space Epic:
I know there is a lot of controversy over Bioware's use of DRM and although I agree they should find a better way to protect against piracy, I can't fault the quality of the game over these other issues.

SecuROM ruins it:
It is very unfortunate that they have to give such a promising game the death touch that is SecuROM. There is absolutely no way I'm letting EA put Malware on my PC.

Very good, but be careful!:
I first played this game for Xbox 360 and enjoyed it inmensely, then, when my Xbox died (they tend to!), I decided to get it for PC. If your computer (not to mention laptops) doesn't meet the minimum requirements it won't work, no matter what you tried. EA customer care sucks and it's really a shame that they do this to customers, still a great game but read the requirements before buying and read other reviews, you'll find them helpful.
