Mass Effect. OWN IT NOW!

This game is better than any movie I've seen recently. It's better than any game I've played since KOTOR. I've played through it twice. Both completely different experiences. I played the good guy and ended up with a few dead crew members and a good buddy. I played as the renegade bad guy, lost only one crew member and got laid twice and made the Humans the supreme force in the Galaxy. And those are so vague that you can still be the good guy and get laid. IT's all in how you play it. This game will be talked about for years to come. This game is the reason to have the Xbox 360. Mass Effect is truly "BEYOND" any RPG to date. This game makes you think about everything when you aren't playing it. The Choices you make might bring tears to your wife's eye. It makes you second guess your own thoughts. The more you talk to your crew the more you learn about them and the more you want them to die. Or succeed. Depends. The ending could show just what kind of person you really are, or how you would like to be. True gamers that don't get caught up in the MS/Sony BS need to do themselves a favor and just get this game and live it. The Soundtrack is going to be forever burned into my brain. It's fantastic, memorable, and timeless. I'm about to start another game on INSANE mode. To those that are witnessing the game now, you know what I'm talking about. To the rest of you, don't miss out on it. Rent the 360 just to play this. It is worth your time. If Mass Effect doesn't get Game of the Year, I'll be reallly surprised.

Mass Effect Delivers

I can honestly say that I have been waiting for this game for some time so I was worried if it would deliver but rest assured, it does. The graphics in the game are very good and the sound is incredible. Mass Effect boasts some of the best voice acting I've seen in a game. The one gripe that I would have with the game is the controls. Mass Effect is an RPG and the shooter controls can come off a bit clunky at times but it's only just. The squad controls though are a bit of a failing, they were largely useless. Fact is, after about 3 attempts at it, I gave up and just let them do their own thing. The great strength of Mass Effect however is the story and that story is great. Mass Effect is a great game. You can play through it very quickly if you like, say 15 hours but if you want to do a few side quests, Mass Effect will easily run 50 hours or more and the replay value is incredible. Mass Effect is a can't miss for any 360 owner.

Best RPG

I am a big RPG fan and a big Shooter fan and Mass Effect combines both of those genres together into one beutiful experince.Mass Effect also has the conversations between the charcters which is awesome.I like the Cover system in Gears and I like Oblivion.but combining those two elements together and microsoft has got another system seller.

Mass Game

Bioware have always done nice games so I dont think Mass Effect will be a failure. They always make the player have a friendship,hateful or romantic relations with the other characters with is very realistic and fun. The best thing they always do is the story. They always make up great stories for the games they made just like KOTOR. I hope Bioware do their best and make Mass Effect a AWESOME game. The only thing they nedd to focus more is in the AI.The Ai looks like it easy to kill because it doesnt move or aim right at you. Good luck Bioware and do your best
