Michael Jackson The Experience gets vuvuzela'd

According to a Eurogamer report, game publisher Ubisoft has implemented a novel security measure - which largely involves the use of the South African vuvuzela horn - in its forthcoming Nintendo DS game "Michael Jackson: The Experience."

Going by the report, the continuous buzzing of vuvuzela horns - which became immensely popular during this summer's World Cup - will virtually drown Michael Jackson's cult tunes for people who try to play the hacked version of the game via a downloadable ROM.

In addition, as part of its anti-piracy measures, Ubisoft has removed the on-screen prompts on illegally downloaded ROMs of the game; thereby essentially making them totally unplayable.

With Ubisoft having come up with their own stash of the vuvuzela "instruments" for use as an anti-piracy strategy, the publisher said that the strategy - which is barely 12 seconds long; but, that also is apparently too long to bear - was chiefly aimed at making the game "too annoying to play" on hacked versions.

The rather sassy anti-piracy tactic that Ubisoft has put into action for the upcoming "Michael Jackson: The Experience" game for Nintendo DS ca, probably, be considered some kind of an improvement on the DRM tribulations that have been plaguing the PC gaming world over the last few years!
