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!

i thought the game was good , the storyline was aweful but the gameplay was good , almost a complete freeroam game. It didnt put enough focus on the side quests but the way they worked out the space travel was done well. the aliens in the game were very humanoid and didnt look as stupid as most other games would make them look ( i would give examples but im sure that would be slander) it is worth a buy but its not the best and its a steal at that price , i paid £40 for it and its well worth that.

I bought mass effect after playing....and loving.....the star wars: Knights of the old republic games. It is simply amazing! Graphically...top of the line. The story is like a blockbuster movie with many twists, turns and discoveries that you feel the center of.
I couldn't put it down!! It unites everything that's good about rpg's character development and storyline wise. And the fighting system is fantastic!
This is probably the most enjoyable game that i've ever played. People say it could be better somehow, but let's be honest, anything could. Only improvement i can think of is to make it longer and give it more quests.
Cannot wait for number 2. Will be pre-ordering as soon as it becomes available. If you want a game thats full of action and makes you feel like the main character in a blockbuster movie, buy it. You won't regret it ;)
