The effect of the masses.

Mass Effect.

iSaruh rating; 7 / 10


Finally a game where you can choose the way you want to play. This game has so many customizable features which makes any hardcore gamer excited. Some of the customizable features are: The background, attiude, appearance, and of course armor and weaponry of your character. I've hardly ever seen a game where the gamer gets many choices. The choices normally consist of "Would you prefer to go left or right?" In Mass Effect everything you say to another NPC character is your choice. You can go paragon or renegade, paragon being the good and of course renegade being the evil. The dialog, the player stats, etc. One thing after another is customizable and I can't speak for all gamers, but that was something I believe more games should incorporate into their games.

Of course everyone wants to know, "How are the graphics?" They are outstanding and the facial movement of the characters is very life like, but the graphics aren't too much different from other Xbox 360 games I've seen. The cut scenes usually are a lot better graphics wise than actual game play, but I don't see too much difference on this game.

Sadly, the environment isn't very interactive which in a game like Mass Effect I sort of expected it to be. There are some objects that when you walk up to them you press the A button and you get some experience and maybe some more information in your journal, but other than that there isn't much. As well as the aiming and weapons was a disappointment. Most games have some really fun and powerful weapons you come across and mass effect makes every weapon look the same, just different colored.

All in all this is a good RPG and full of customizable features, but still lacks in many areas. Its worth a buy if you are an RPG space fan, but other than that I'd recommend just renting it.
