One great epic
Mass effect to me is what would happen if gears of war and KOTOR somehow mated and had a video game baby. Seriously though this game is one of the best rpgs of 2007. The voice acting and conversations really keep you into the game. The answers are somewhat easily chosen since there are neutral, good, and negative answers. The graphics are great as the sci-fi theme is shown with characters bright constumes and bright armor that shines. The environment looks great and really gives you the sense that your on a different planet allowing you to actually want to travel and explore the galaxy that you have at your fingertips. The sounds are great and you really get the feel that your in an epic story. The game plays well and the A.I.is a great help even though you will spend more time worrying that your alive and allowing them to die in the process. The game allows you to carry pistols, grenades, shotguns, sniper, and assault rifles all at the same time. You can also use those or choose to be biotic or more "phychic" with magic powers or the use of technology. On the negative side of the occasion you can't help but notice that the game feels as if it was rushed for launch. The game could have used a few more months for polish as the beautiful graphics sometimes take a sec to show up and your left with the outer palate to look our for a small time. The game somtimes slows down and allows itself to catch up at certain moments in the game the break up the action sequences. Another pain that you have to go through is the lack of checkpoints in the game. You can actually explore an entire planet and there will be no checkpoints until you actually leave it, allowing plenty of time for you to lose if you somehow die or some bug locks the game up. Fortunately the game has never locked up during gameplay for me. With all the technical issues the game still shines above others and is worth the purchase.
