DESCRIPTION
The heroism of one brave human being could have a massive effect on the entire galaxy, in this original sci-fi RPG from Bioware. Players take the customizable role of a celebrated starship captain, who is exploring the fringes of known space when the story begins. Mass Effect is set soon after human beings have discovered the secrets to interstellar travel, and the people of Earth were both surprised and challenged to find that the universe is full of intelligent races that are far more advanced than they. However, it may very well be those human ties to a more primal nature that ultimately save all the space-faring species from destruction. Built on a third-generation version of the Unreal game engine, Mass Effect features real-time combat, in which players take limited command of a three-soldier squad. Decisions made by the hero, both in the heat of battle and in sophisticated role-playing sequences, will affect many details and may even influence the final outcome of the plot. Orignially developed for Xbox 360, Mass Effect is intended as the first of a trilogy of action RPGs from BioWare. Between the launches of each full game in the series, the developer intends to release additional levels, side-stories, and other downloadable Mass Effect material content. ~ T.J.

“One of the best FPS/RPG hybrids I have played to date. The story is decent, and side quests will keep you busy for hours. This is a definite must have, and I can't wait til Mass Effect 2.”

“Picked this game up on sale over Steam this weekend at the dire recommendation of one of my guildmates. Being that it's been out a year, I'll save rehashing what many, many many other reviewers have said and just get straight to my opinions:
1) It felt short, but that's possibly because I did nothing but play this game for 3 straight days. And I want MORE.
2) Voice acting and character development is some of the best I've seen in a video game in years.
3) This was the first game I've actually completed this year, and I've bought a lot of good games. This one made me want to stick it out to the end.
Seriously, it's a game that I may play through again just because I loved the story and events like most would love a mini series or a movie. And now I'm eagerly awaiting ME2 to come out so I can continue the story of the Commander, who absolutely kicks Master Chief from Halo in the nuts.”
