Product Description
Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story, where the real conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence comes to life in startling clarity. Intense, in-depth story where the fate of life as you know it depends on you Features six character classes, along with six more unlockable ones - each class contains several talents As each talent is leveled, the character either gains stats (extra health, stamina, etc) or unlocks new abilities. Players can fully customize their appearance, gender, abilities and even military background. Four classes of conventional weapons ESRB Rated M for Mature

 Phenomenal July 8, 2008
This is by far one of the BEST RPG/style games ever released for the 360. Tied, possibly, with Oblivion, Mass Effect takes the player on a galaxy-hopping adventure as the background story unfolds with each new mission. Could it be better? Sure. Allowing training for ANY weapon regardless of class would be nice. Also, the overall learning curve is VERY STEEP. Those few items aside, Mass Effect draws the player in deeper and deeper with each passing gaming episode. Not for everyone, since not everyone is an RPG fan, but for the RPG fan, it is a surefire hit. Recommended!
 Too Slow on 360 July 8, 2008
I think this game would have played better on the PC because the load times for the console really ruined the game. There are great RPG elements to the game in customizing the character and a relatively smart dialog system. The cutscenes are beautifully rendered and the story is as good as sci-fi gets. The gameplay, however, is lacking in action, and the dialog and quests are pretty boring. This is the type of game for someone who likes wandering around a virtual world for hours.
One major pet peeve was the expensive weapon upgrades and not obvious ways of earning cash to buy them.
RPG meets Action/Adventure July 6, 2008
This game is a great combination of RPG and Action/Adventure. The graphical presentation is very well done, levels load quickly, the dialogue options and game options are great as well. It has some live action elements of actually allowing full control of characters but also has multiple plot options, character level ups and various strategy that might not be involved in most standard action games. It's a great mix and well worth the price.
No new news here July 6, 2008
What I would have to say about this game is really nothing different than what anyone else has written already, on the positive side and negative side. The game is fun, addictive, has great replay value (I've played it 3 times), and has you feaning for a second one. Once in a while I'll scurry the Net looking for any tidbits on ME2. The only negative thing about this game is the sidequests. There are a few that are extremely fun, i.e. the mission where you have to help a squad of alliance team members hold back attacking reapers. That was great. Hopefully the side missions will correlate with the story a little more in the next one. I understand ALL of them cannot, but at least a few.
It's an alright game.... July 5, 2008
I'd like to say that this game is an average. The controles are clean and the story is amusing, but aside from that, I just can't rave on it. For me, there is way to much yapping and not enough shooting, and the side missions remind me of old RPGs. On a great price, it's worth picking up, and it shows replay for things you missed the first time around, but definatly IMO not worth full price or gamestore used.
