Great rival for Halo 3

By nmmgb (cnet.com) Read the full review

The Game is great, just great. I frequently save before talking to people to try different responses to see what the end outcome would be. Graphics are better than Halo 3, but the cinematic do not render fast enough. However, the cinematic still left...

Role play, character class, squad, graphics

Cinimatics do not render as well as one would hope

Great game

By N/A (newegg.com) Read the full review

Sweet game, story. Everything that you'd expect from a bioware game

Theres a lot of elevators in the game. A LOT. Meaning you'll be sitting around for about 30 seconds not doing anything frequently

Had it once, will have it again!

By Platinum Ninja (newegg.com) Read the full review

Ending is... ok I guess. Made me cry just as Halo's ending did. Guess I'm just a loser :'(

This game rocked so hard, I can't believe I sold it! I'll be picking it up again in time for Christmas, a present for uh... myself. Anyways, graphics are awesome at 1080p, storyline is massive and draws you in. I actually didn't go to work one day, I'm...

Graphics were untextured for about 2 seconds on and off with the game, however it may have been my Xbox which has since been sent to Microsoft for repairs

Mass Effect - Xbox 360 - First Look review - Pocket-lint

By Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)

Can BioWare appeal to the Halo, GRAW and FPS fans out there with this title?

Soundtrack, graphics, gameplay

From what we've seen so far, if you tire and bore easily it looks like you might be left wanting more; like multiplayer co-op

Mass Effect: Pinnacle Station Review

By Erik Brudvig (clearnet.co.nz)

It's been a long time since we had reason to dust off Mass Effect. But just when you had turned all of your attention towards the sequel, due out early next year, BioWare has gone and stealthily released a new downloadable add-on for the first in the...

I'm not sure why this add-on was ever released. Nearly two years after we were regaled by BioWare with the idea of a constantly expanding Mass Effect universe through downloadable additions, we've now born witness to a grand total of two underwhelming...

Pinnacle Station is uninspired, poorly constructed, and offers none of what made Mass Effect a great game in the first place. Skip this, lest you want to sully your anticipation for Mass Effect 2. That's all Pinnacle Station has done for me.

Mass Effect Review

By Dan (ausgamers.com)

While there's undoubtedly room for improvement in many facets of Mass Effect's gameplay, the storytelling element completely overwhelms them. In this reviewer's opinion, this is a game that rivals film and novel in its ability to tell a tale. Hands...

An epic storyline with a huge new Universe of original IP to explore.; Top-notch facial animation and stunning graphics where it matters.; The best in-game dialogue system in a video game to-date.; True non-linear gameplay with worthwhile replayability

Lots to learn and no tutorial.; Inconsistent level design detail and some loading time quirks.; Commander Shepard runs like a ponce

Mass Effect

By Mike Flacy (videogametalk.com)

I'm going to come right out and say it: Mass Effect is the best current science fiction piece on the market. Seriously folks, Bioware's new franchise has risen to the cream of the crop in no time and the story here nearly stands on the same platform...

It's so rare when a title comes along that shatters your perception about what a video game can present. Mass Effect's plot is epic, well-executed, and engaging the entire way through.

Mass Effect Review

By Eric Bush (planetxbox360.com)

Here at Planet Xbox 360 we try to review games fairly but at the end of the day there is always going to be someone out there that doesn't agree with our take on a game. Luckily this time we are pretty certain that most people who give Bioware's new...

All of these controls come together really well to form one of the best and most innovative battle systems any RPG has ever seen. For example if you run up on a group of bad guys (Geth) you have a choice, straight run-and-gun or stop and use...

We can only imagine what their previous games would have been like had they used original stories in their past games; probably as great as Mass Effect. Mass Effect is a science fiction RPG game that is scheduled to take up an entire trilogy on the...
