Special Features

 

  • Incredible Sci-Fi RPG with a Rich, Engaging Storyline. On a distant planet an amazing discovery is made. Players must determine the fate of humanity as they lead an elite tactical strike force in an effort to stop an entity so malevolent that it threatens to tear apart the very fiber of galactic civilisation. Mass Effect takes players to new depths for an action-RPG, where, unlike in most RPGs, they are faced with morally complex decisions that have significant impact on the fate of all life in the galaxy.
  • Explore Uncharted Worlds and Uncover a Mystery that Defies Imagination. In addition to the main story arc of the game, players are able to visit a large number of uncharted, unexplored planets that are side quests independent from the main story. At any time during the campaign, a player can choose to explore one of these planets and have an opportunity to discover new alien life, resources, ruined civilisations and powerful technologies.
  • Real-Time, Squad-Based Combat. Mass Effect features a real-time, squad-based tactical combat system. Players can enjoy intense, challenging and exciting third-person action and squad-based combat. Players and their squad-mates are able to engage the enemy with ranged weapons and covering fire, biotic powers and science-based magic, and technological powers - all of which accompanied by amazing visual and physics effects that add tremendous excitement and drama to the battlefield.
  • Credible Digital Actors. Mass Effect features a huge cast of incredibly realistic non-player characters, enemies and party members. Each of the characters encountered have realistic facial and body movements.
  • Character Customisation and Deep Role-Playing Systems. Choose from and customise a variety of stunning, photo-realistic character appearances at the start of the game, and can increase various statistics that affect their performance during gameplay.

Review

 




Mass Effect is a science-fiction action and role-playing game (RPG) created by BioWare, the commercially and critically acclaimed RPG developer of Jade Empire and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Mass Effect delivers an immersive, story-driven gameplay experience with stunning visual fidelity.

As the first humans on the galactic stage, players must uncover the greatest threat to civilisation. Their job is complicated by the fact that no one will believe the truth, but the world must be convinced of the grave threat at hand.

Players will travel across an expansive universe to piece the mystery together. As they discover and explore the uncharted edges of the galaxy, they come closer to an overwhelming truth - learning that the placid and serene universe they know is about to come to a violent end and that they may be the only people who can stop it!

Mass Effect is absolutely amazing in terms of Gameplay, Graphics, Combat and of course Dialogue. The story is amazing with loads of choices to make that will affect the way your game plays out. Defintely buy this game now, it's one of the best Xbox 360 exclusives along with Fable 2.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Brilliant for RPG lovers

I can see that there are some mixed reviews about this game. I think it is fair to say that this game would only really appeal to gamers who like RPG's. If completed fully, the way it should be done, this game can take around 50 hours, so any one who is not regularly playing there there xbox should not consider this. As for the hardcore gamers like myself, this really is a treat of a game in my opinion, there is so much to do in way of extra missions. This is one of those games that you look back on with very fond memories, i will just warn however it takes about an hour to get into the game so give it a chance, it is an amazing game!
