Mass Effect (Xbox 360)

Mass effect is a role playing game in which you are Commander Shepard set to adventure through all of space to complete different missions and unearth many secrets while meeting many new aliens.

The first thing you notice in this game are the great graphics. They are very smooth and the characters have realistic expressions. One of the great things about this game is that you control your character. What He or She looks like, their class, and their whole life story is up to you.

You are also able to control all of your conversations, either playing the bad boy role or the good guy. One of the things i liked about the game is the freedom you have. While doing different missions you can sidetrack and do side missions.

One of the bad things is that sometimes the game can be to drawn out at some parts but the story line is really great and intriguing. The combat is pretty good, all the different weapons, and combat skills. You can upgrade your character and other people in your group.

OVerall I give this game 4 out of 5 stars, it could use a little work, and may need some time to adapt to but its really good and fun, give it a try and it should work out for you.

mass effect is an action/ adventure game with some heavy RPG elements mixed in. please understand this, if you only play games like halo and gears of war and intense first-person or third-person shooters, this may not be for you. yes there is some third-person shooting, but it's not the focus of the game.

but if you want a game with a engaging, lengthy story this is definately it. it's almost like they took a third-person shooter and mixed it with a legend of zelda or something like that.

i highly reccommend this game.

Mass Effect is a futuristic third person RPG. That translates to - an over the shoulder point of view of the game. RPGs (or role playing games) center around character customization, improving your character, and progressing through the game. Mass Effect isn't like other RPG's in that it is completely open ended with multiple outcomes to the end of the game, depending on the decision you make, but we'll come back to decision making. Open ended games, like Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, are games were you are left alone to do anything you want, and aren't forced to do anything. You cant focus on the main storyline, which many people will because it is one of the best video game story lines in my opinion, or you can explore the galaxy and discover your own adventure. One of the other big attractions of this game is the depth of the dialogue, and making decisions that affect the gameplay. Will you allow the mercenary leader walk away clean, or destroy him and his entire crew? It's your call.
Now onto what everyone's been waiting for, COMBAT! There are two main ways of dealing damage, with weapons, or with abilities, I'll deal with weapons first. You start out the game with four weapons, and as your progress you gain better upgraded versions from combat, or loot. The weapons are the pistol, with is useful at almost any range, the assault rifle, which is useful at medium to short ranges, the shotgun which is useful for close range, and the sniper rifle which is for (you guessed it) long range. In Mass Effect, they have removed reloading as part of the game. Instead, your weapons overheat if they are being shot too quickly (don't worry there's a big red bar to show you the heat that has been accumulated). If your weapon overheats you must wait for the bar to return to zero before you may resume firing.
Now onto abilities. Abilities fall into three different categories, Bionic, Tech, and Weapons. Bionic abilities have the power to manipulate the world around them with the power of the mind (and the robotic implants in the character) to deal massive damage to the enemy. Tech abilities are used to disable enemies and heal allies. Weapon abilities are weapon specific abilities that you acquire as you train with your weapons. Pistols, shotguns, and assault rifles all have the same basic ability, which is increased heat absorption, increased firing rate, and increased accuracy for a short time. The sniper, however, has assassination, which increases damage and accuracy, but only for the next shot, making it useful to pick off the tougher enemies from afar.
NOw onto character customization. Your character can be any of the following seven classes, Soldier (pure combat), Engineer (pure tech), adept (pure biotic), Infiltrator (combat/tech), Vanguard (biotic/combat), and the Sentinel (biotic/tech).
Soldier-Is the only class that can train in heavy armor/all four weapons, but starts with no tech/biotic abilities
Engineer-Can only use pistols but the only class with access to all tech abilities.
Adept-Can only use pistols but the only class with access to all biotic abilities.
Infiltrator-Uses pistols and snipers, can train to use medium armor, and limited tech. and the only class other than soldiers that can train in sniper rifles.
Vanguard-Uses pistols and/or shotguns along with limited biotic abilities, and can train to use medium armor.
Sentinel-The best of both worlds as far as tech and biotics are concerned, however, they cannot train in any weapons.

Great game, worth playing multiple times, can't wait the next game in the series comes out, has multiple class, and game play options, along with a multitude of weapons and customization

I am not a big RPG person at all. My RPG history is Evolution, FFVII, FFX, then I played Invisible War (Deus Ex) which I loved and want to do over and over again, but then I got MASS EFFECT! This took Invisible War, upgraded added and refined it. If you are all about action and shooting only, then this is not the game for you. But if you like a great story line, squad based action, great graphics and sound, huge systems to explore and customization. This game will have you riveted.

I highly recommend Mass Effect

this game in my opinion is revolutionary. rpg with a game play like a great fps. wish there were more games like this, the next evolution in rpgs.

I had read about this game in the critic forums and purchased it from the seller for the great price of $36.00 (including shipping) for the game and the game guide. What a steal for such a fantastic game. The seller sent the item to me immediately and everything has worked out fine. Get this game, it belongs in every collection. BioWare is still the leader in game design.

pros: long epic story line depended on player actions. Game-play similiar to Winback (hide and shoot) but with the RPG build. Very large world/universe to explore.

cons: depth - when you make something this big it lacks certain details and truths that does not completely emerse the player, but then again I might be just another boring realist.

In general, the game is KOTOR -- great game but wished for more depth with your party characters. Buy it, if you haven't already.

I prefer the gameplay style of Oblivion over Mass Effect, but I am definately enjoying the game so far. Lots of open ended exploration and much improved fighting controls over the older version of the game, eventhough the same game engine is used. Definately worth picking up a used copy if you enjoy very open ended in depth games.

I picked up this game the day after I got GTA4 and put off GTA4 in favor of Mass Effect. The graphics and story in this game are excellent, the non linear story line, lots of side quests, and tons of achievements give the game many hours of game play and replay value. The game isn't completely perfect though. The action/shooting can be clunky at sometimes; and I wish the reputation system (paragon vs. renegade) had more influence on game decisions and character interactions. But overall I definitely give this game a 5 out of 5 for a fun rating, must have for all RPG fans considering the drought of RPGs for the 360.

Decided to buy after reading all the reviews and seeing all the 10/10, 5/5 scores. This game genre was not up my ally... but I still love this game. Hours of fun well worth $60 but on ebay its a must for $35-$45. It's also a ADULT game... you button mashers that don't like listening and watching the story develope might not like it. You still get to shoot and throw grenades, upgrade armor and weapons, but for the most part it's role playing (witch I wasn't into until I played this!!).
If you like sci-fi, buy it
If you like shooters, buy it
If you like role playing, buy it
If you want a great story, buy it
If you bought Far Cry, buy this
You might be a redneck
If you don't but it.

Great buy if you are into mission based sci fi kind of games. Very addictive so make sure you have plenty of time to play!

I bought this this game used and it works just fine. Everything was in good working condition. I would endorse buying future products from this customer.

This game is a very fun game and addictive. At least until you beat it. Ive tried to play it again but just cannot seem to regain interest.

My thanks goes to this seller for an awesome deal on a near perfect game. Wonderful shipping and an amazing price! Thanks alot!

This game is possibly one of the best games I have ever played. Excellent replay value. Not to long not to short. Challenging but not a complete game of roshambo. If you haven't played it you should. However not for everyone.

I am very pleased with the whole transaction. The game was in mint condition and performed greatly. Shipping was incredibly fast and very convenient. Thank you

They made this game seem a lot better than it actually is. Its not a bad game, I would say it is average. I'm really glad I waited for it to come down in price.

This is an amazing game. Graphics are stellar. A little wordy, but a stellar experience. A must play for everyone.

This has got to be one of the most innovative rpgs released recently. It is an RPG that has brought an entirely new element to it's genre.

Bioware has included an often overlooked feature: an extremely detailed character creation. If you're not looking for character creation, then there are some pre-made characters available to get you playing right away.

Perhaps my favorite feature though, is the great story in which Bioware lets you play an integral part. Your character's actions really seem to make a difference. This has been a particularly difficult thing to accomplish in the past, and it really sets Mass Effect above the rest.

Very good really appreciated the fast and efficent service. Very fast to ship Kudos to you . Thank you
