Mass Effect Review 9.75

[Margaret]

It's a magazine scan so I'm not allowed to post it but yeah Game Informer gave it 9.75.

Graphics:
Every second of gameplay offers the visual quality you have come to expect from Final Fantasy cutscenes.

Entertainment:
An expansive quest (18 to 30 hours) that toys with your emotions and keeps you engaged.

Replay Value: High

Concept: One of the greatest science fiction stories ever told, and a new benchmark for video game storytelling.

Just wrote those 3 things down, thought they was the most important, they also said the voice acting was amazing and that the soundtrack is one of the most memorable and unique soundtracks in gaming.

looks good, but only 18-30 hours? Is that like the main story though, not all the exploring and side quests (if there is any)

Doesn't say but 18-30 hours seems long enough to me! Takes me ages to complete RPG games though.

KOTOR was one of the best games I've ever played and it wasn't 18 hours per play through.

18 hours is more than enough for me in a game.

this and Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey is going to keep me busy!

 

[Darkwave]

Just reading the prequel novel to this, I bought it from someone on MM. Very good book so far.

Can't wait for the game.

Everything sounds as it should apart from 18 hours. Thats shocking a good RPG should be about 40-60 hours! How can you really connect with the characters and the world in 18 hours. Imagine playing FF7 and the game ending just as you leave Midgar!

I wrote it out myself actually, another forum had the scans and last time I got told off for posting scans on this forum, as Zefan will remember.

Will there be a demo of this? I'm not going to buy it simply based on reviews. After Halo 3 was given 9/10 and 10/10 I have decided to pretty much entirely disregard any game review.

Aye, but this wont be a "we hav to give it 9+ as its Halo" more of a "we have to give it 9+ because its an amazing game"

Whens this bad boy out then??

Thank God my Birthday is in December and Xmas coming too as I just can't afford all these bloody games

 

[Marky]

SWEEET I cant wait for this... it's going to be awesome - and I still believe it'll be GOTY

 

[Kainz]

Yub Yub!

I agree - after all the good reviews, I was disappointed with Halo 3 - But I think it was because of the previous storylines

 

[slambo69]

I have always said this will be GOTY. Also 18-30 hours is just the main storyline there are so many side quests so expect 40+

 

[DaveyD]

18-30 hours sounds about right for this kind of soft-RPG kind of game. KOTOR1+2 were both around 18-30ish hours depending upon how you play them. And if it's anywhere near as good as KOTOR then I'll be a very happy bunny. Can't wait, just wish I could have the time to play it other than christmas holidays.
