First produced for the X-Box, Mass Effect, shows its origins. Much like previous X-Box games that have been ported to the PC or developed for both platforms this title feels neutered and overly simplistic. Which is a shame because the game shows great potential.
There are four basic weapons, Pistol, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Sniper Rifle. However these all employ the same basic model, only the skin is different. This seems somewhat silly considering the different physiologies of the alien races. And a missed opportunity to highlight the different combat doctrines of the alien races. The overly simply model continues with the armours and most of the explorable planets, which are essentially the same.
The 'core' ... Read More:

- I will not be buying this game or any other from Bioware from now on due to the fact that it is obvious they do not understand or have any respect what so ever for their customers. This can be seen by highly restrictive DRM they lumber this game and your machine with. Bioware we do have a choice.
-This game installs root kit software on your machine that spys on your system and cannot be removed from it even after you remove the game and can leave your system open to virus attack. umm.. Bioware my privacy and system is my own NOT yours, wake up.
-The game allows you three changes to your own machine before it stops working (including operating system reinstall, hardware failure, installing on my laptop or heaven forbid ... Read More:

I've played and enjoyed KOTOR, KOTOR 2 and Jade empire. Now I've played Mass Effect and quite enjoyed it. I think it's good. But it's missing something and I don't know what it is. I was looking forward to this game, I enjoyed playing it but now that I have finished it, I feel curiously unsatisfied.
Possibly I played it on too easy a level because there was certainly nothing challenging about it but I think my main issue was with the time wasting mini plots. When you played Pazaak or swoop bike racing, you knew you were messing about for the sake of it when you should be saving the Galaxy, but I thought they were fun. The vast majority of the non plot missions in Mass effect aren't a lot of fun. Driving that dopey car or surveying planets ... Read More:

I'll write this review for people who like RPG's and have already played Bioware games.
If you've ever played Knights of the Old Republic, or Jade Empire, then you'll know what to expect. This game is no worse than any of those games, and in my opinion Bioware has learned a lot from them and made this a better game. This is a much more mature game than previous recent titles, as if they've taken what was good from those games and discarded what was bad and underdeveloped.
Ok, so we may never have another game as detailed as Baldur's Gate, but this, like almost all recent RPG efforts (including Neverwinter Nights), is aimed at a more cinematic feel. Strangely, the action is real time, which works really well I think, and that's coming ... Read More:

Yes this game is a littly buggy, but its easily one of the best games I've bought this year, and the updates have already started arriving.
Character customisation is a blast, the video sequences are breath taking, and the gameplay is top notch. Would heartilly recommend
