Mass Effect for Xbox 360

Pros: Graphics, character, story, dialogue, pretty much everything...

Cons: except inventory control, vehicle fighting, and the grenade button!

The Bottom Line: The finest RPG I've seen, any RPG fan will be drooling to play this game.

Review: I’m a big RPG (role-playing game) fan, and a well-done video or computer game RPG makes me salivate. So when I heard all of the wonderful things said about Mass Effect, Bioware’s latest, I just had to go buy it. Bioware is best known for working ...

Pros: so detailed

Cons: slowdowns

The Bottom Line: great

Review: I'm a huge fan of Bioware games. The company recently got swallowed by Electronic Arts however, so there is a possibility that this will be the last great Bioware game ever made. Sad but EA sucks. Anywhoo, Mass Effect is supposed to be the next ...

Pros: An excellent story, interesting characters and fun combat make for an immersing experience.

Cons: Bad frame rate, glitches and other technical issues.

The Bottom Line: Yes Mass Effect has some annoying technical issues but it shines in every area that makes an excellent RPG. Mass Effect is a must buy for hardcore RPG fans.

Review: STORY In the year 2148 explorers on Mars discover artifacts from an ancient space faring civilization. In the following decades incredibly advanced technologies are created from studying these artifacts, technologies that allow Humanity to travel the ...

Pros: Customization of character, awesome game play and story.

Cons: Textures don't always load immediately.

The Bottom Line: Overall, awesome game. Great for any fan of sci-fi and RPGs.

Review: Great game play, great characters, great game! I spent a whole weekend devoting myself to this game when I got it, and have since played through it once more. One of the things I liked most about the game is that after the initial "intro" phase of ...

Pros: Graphics, Storyline

Cons: Glitching, Collison

The Bottom Line: Buy- It's worth it.

Review: Mass Effect, to say the least, is definitely one of the games I have netted the most time playing on my Xbox 360. First, you get to start off by naming your character(______ Shepard), followed by designing his/her physical appearance and class. The ...

Pros: Graphics, gameplay, overall execution

Cons: Multiple play throughs for some achievments

The Bottom Line: Buy it, Play it, LOVE it!

Review: Click for the full in-depth review! Anyone who doesn't think this is an excellent new IP. In a gaming world where sequels are played out until they are no longer innovative what so ever. This is a really nice breath of fresh air and it really comes ...

Pros: good graphics, excellent musical score and voice acting, tons of replay value

Cons: Perhaps somewhat short, bit of a learning curve

The Bottom Line: A great game - I've played through twice already. Could be longer - and definitely not appropriate for kids (language and some sexual references)

Review: Mass Effect is a game that has been out a few months now, and one that caught my eye right away. First off - I am a fantasy fanatic. I would rather play Warcraft than Starcraft and watch Lord of the Rings than Star Trek. That is not to say I do not ...

Pros: A lot of fun, good graphics, really great story.

Cons: I wish it was longer. I'll pay for the sequel.

The Bottom Line: Great story driven Sci-Fi RPG. It's a genre that's really lacking, and this game sets the bar.

Review: Mass effect is a Sci-Fi Role Playing Game with a strong shooter component. The game is very story driven, but for the sake of not giving away anything, I won't go into too much detail about the story, except to say that it is a uniquely deep story, set ...

Pros: great graphics, good customization, amazing experience, high quality production

Cons: load times, vehicle controls, false sense of freedom

The Bottom Line: Ambitious and epic, Mass Effect lives up to the hype, but not without a few rough spots here and there.

Review: Mass Effect, the latest offering by Bioware, exclusive to the Xbox 360, just goes to show that M$ does indeed have the cash to guarantee its own exclusives (and to expand the still tiny library of RPGs on the 360). In the end though, Mass Effect, amidst ...

Pros: Interactive Conversations, Ability to Define Comm. Shepard, Action/RPG blend, Great Sounds

Cons: Annoying interface (i.e. cannot skip redundant travel scenes), Relatively Short Story, Loading Non-Transparency

The Bottom Line: Mass Effect has a grand story, with decisions laid at your feet. Unfortunately, mechanics prevent this game from being an industry defining game.

Review: Gameplay (30%): 8.5 Graphics (15%): 8 Sound (15%): 9.5 Controls (10%): 6 Longevity/Story (30%): 7 Overall: 80% (4 stars/Above Average) The game developer named "Bioware" is very well respected in the RPG community. With great games, such as ...
