I played this for about 5 hours...And took it back. What a dissapointment. The colors are bland...the storys ok but the action fighting is terrible. I usually love these type of games too...Terrible...terrible boring game. I fell asleep playing it each time! I really cant see whats so great about this game. :\

Oh, and I forgot my biggest pet peeve with this game- it seems alot of the time, reguardless of your speech choice, it seems the game really has only 1 path planned.......

Also, some of the endings can be pretty lame- like how my friend accidentally killed the end boss by talking him down

LMAO!

Minefield, I got an HDTV BECAUSE of Mass Effect- so beautiful....

Still, I'm still shocked how short it was.....I mean, 30 hours of gameplay is alot, but I was expect 50 hours minimum...

Plus, the character stories seem to just kinda fizzle out.....I wanted a revelation with them, something about their past that blew me away....instead(for example) with the cop, you do a quick mission where you attack a crook that got away, and he's done. The Tech girl has absolutely no story whatsoever past your first talk with her(and I had her with me on every mission)- you never get to visit places of interest, like the Tech Girls space farthing race or Wrex's homeworld.....it all feels really.....incomplete.....

One of my top ten, for sure. Playing a movie has never been so true.
And one of the best endings ever.

I've said it before, and I 'll say it again - Man I wish I had a HDTV!

But this game is more than its pretty, if somewhat broken graphics. The story and characters have both completely sucked me into the game world - and I just don't want it to end!

Buggy? Yeah. Brilliant? Hell yeah!

Bring on the DLC...

Phew! Just decided to give the 360 a break before it over heats and goes red ring o' death on me- so far, its looking pretty good, although the weapons seem pretty frustrating.....

Awesome. Although I don't know why they keep calling it a space opera. Let's just call it an amazing RPG.

Well I loved KOTOR, but KOTOR2 got boring really quick. So I've been wary of thier brand of RPG's for the last while or so, but this one is in a new class. It looks completely fantastic. I can't wait.

If you are like me, you enjoyed Knights of the Old Republic, among other Bioware titles, and went wulkie at the announcement of a space opera RPG from them.

The best analogy I can derive from what I've seen so far is a mix between Gears of War and KOTOR. The graphics look excellent.... rather bloody gorgeous.... and Bioware promises the moon with this coming RPG title.
