mass effect

I have literally just got round to playing this myself. It is a stonking game though the side missions can get a bit repetitive you keep doing them regardless for the XP. Some of the planet landscapes are amazing, if you have the gpu to match, particularly the extra downloadable content asteroid based mission. The quality of the enviroment on that map you could imagine that's what it would look like if you did land on an asteriod. One thing that bugs me though, I haven't found a way to fully switch off mouse acceleration whilst on any 3D part of the game, its seems hard coded somehow, probably a result of of the console port. Mouse is fine in any of the 2D menus, just in 3D it turns acceleration on.
 
its VERY hard - i kept on getting killed no matter what i did. Graphically its ace but some of the planet landing missions are repetitive.

I got about 10% through and then gave up returning to COD4, WoW and a few others.

However, its a great game and worth it only if you have the patience and time to dedicate to it.

I say go for it really - you have nothing to loose.
 
It's quite good. Nothing amazing. But definitely worth a play...should be pretty cheap now as well.
 
Only had this game myself for about 3 months and I struggling wanting to return to the game. The games really rich in contents and history but I've just found it so confusing to understand what does what in the game.

Plus there something about third person games that just turns me off, if it had been told from a first person perspective it would be a better game imho.

Does look stunning and I will get round to finishing it, I am just finding it hard to go back which is partially L4D fault.
 
It's and awesome game, be ware as it can become very challenging and frustrating at points, but solider on and it's an awesome game.
 
My best 360 title this. I 'reinstalled' it on the 360 last night and gave it a quick bash through. The graphics are just lush, amongst the best on the platform tbh and installing the thing to the HD makes a world of difference.
 
I got it for the 360 initially liked it so much i have played it with about 12 different characters. I then got it for the pc for 5pound. Shame there arent any mods for it on the pc. One thing you have to watch out for is the drm. I think its securom. The layout is a lot better on pc than on 360. The new game is out the end of next year. Coming to ps3 360 and pc this time around.
 
Stonking game, I played the crap out of it on the PC (a good 3 play throughs), well worth buying.

Also make sure you keep your save files when you are finished as you can bring your character into ME2 when it comes out later this year :D
 
Good game. The combat could be better (harder) but it has great production values and the graphics are very nice now that they've sorted out the few issues it was released with. Makes me hopeful for what Bioware can do with a sequel and with Dragon Age.
 
I've just got it for the PC last week, been playing casually for a bit.

I had it on the 360 but only played it a few times and didn't really get into it ( another game came out at almost the same time that I can't remember the name of but took me away from playing Mass Effect and I just never loaded it up again afterwards ).

Glad I got it on the PC though in order to give it another try as I'm really enjoying it this time around.

It does however look absolutely MASSIVE and the kind of game if you leave for a while and go back to that you may find difficulty getting back up to speed with quickly. ;)
