Here are the reasons I think this is not only a "not worth it" product, but in fact a scam...
1. Various links are ranked by Google that contain the words "Announcing: The Revolutionary 3D Animation Software That Has Helped 6,100 People In 67 Countries Create Cutting-Edge Animations", but the links are all from post sites that exist for the sole reason of ranking links in G o o g le. Also, if so many people did so much with this software, then why is it that I could not find anything on it in YouTube other than some slideshows that appear to mimic the page on the website?
2. The website itself looks like a scam. Phrases like "not only do you get..." etc.
3. No downloadable trial? On a new product? Come on...
4. And I saved the best for last - the "screenshots" from this "program" are actually screenshots from Blender! One of them even has the blender org u r l on it... and is credited to Matt Ebb from Elephants Dream fame.
If I'm wrong then I am wrong, but hold the horses until something appears in YouTube that looks like a tutorial that features this software that shows it actually being used (see iClone, Blender, Maya etc tutorials on Youtube...why arent there any IllusionMage tutorials?)
Yes, it's a scam, the guy behind this has done it before and simply pack Blender 3D and other freely available resources into his 'product. Not only that but he's spammed the Internet with fake reviews, articles and comments about this amazing software no-one has heard of (his product that is and not Blender 3D). S.C.A.M.

I don't think he himself spammed the net with all these fake reviews. He actually has an affiliate program, meaning that when a user buys this scammed program bY clicking the link accompanying the "review" the reviewer gets payed. This way he gets a lot of people looking for some quick money to do the spamming for him
It's definetely a scam. I've "bought"(or illegally downloaded) it, and also have a(n) |original| copy of Blender, and except of the name, title bar name, they're definitely the same. And if u go to "Help"-->"Getting started" you see the title "IllusionMage Blender........".
