I've been trying to get my hands on a copy, but one thing that makes me very hesitant to spend the money is the fact that the number of activations is extremely limited - and it's not just a some-levels-are-limited restriction that you face without internet activation. It's you-can't-run-this-game-at-all if you A) have more than two or three computer you want to install it on (even if you're just upgrading and killing the old one), or B) don't have an internet connection.

Admittedly, it's an absolutely solid way to limit piracy of the game (which, considering the quality of the game, I think is a good thing), but it can make things akward for valid users, as well.

All that said, though, I'm still very seriously considering spending the money - even without having played it first. Everything I have seen and heard has been purely positive.
