    Mass Effect is one of the best Role-Playing Games on the Xbox 360

    Mass Effect is the new game from the company, Bioware. Bioware is responsible for games such as NeverWinter Nights or Star Wars Knights of the old Republic. Now Bioware has released Mass Effect, Bioware's first next gen game.

    Mass Effect's story is interesting and immersive. You play as Commander Shepard, with a past and military backround of the players choosing. The Story of Mass Effect revolves around Commander Shepard, and a turian named Saren. Saren is a turian, an alien race, and he wants to rid the galaxy of all life. Commander Shepard and his team is sent to stop him. As the story unfolds, you begin to uncover secrets of ancient sentient life-forms called Reapers. The game will take you too many different planets in search of clues to stop saren.

    The gameplay in Mass Effect is good. The combat is fun and entertaining. However while traveling the galaxy you will most likely land on an uncharted world. These worlds have basically no people. When you land on these worlds you land in a vehicle called the Mako. While fun at first, the mako becomes incredibly annoying and frustrating. It doesn't help that the mako's turret can not move up or down.

    Mass Effect's graphics are great. The character models look excellent and the character's lips move correctly while their talking. However while playing the game I noticed textures not loading quickly. After a load you will see these bland textures that look horrible and then you realize that the textures still have to load for awhile.

    All in all Mass Effect is a great RPG and a great game in general. Mass Effect is definitely worth buying.

      When I first heard about Mass Effect, I was excited beyond belief. Bioware, known for their great role-playing experiences was nearly sure to deliver, and overall, they definitely did. Once you start the game, you get to make your character if you choose not to use the default (made famous by pre-release trailers). The character creation system allows you to decide on your character’s background story, which actually affects what other characters in the game say to you. You also get to customize...

      The game Mass Effect is a third person, over the shoulder shooter that envelops you in a futuristic environment complete with advanced technology, alien races and plenty of drama.The game begins with the creation of your character. BioWare has done a complete job of allowing you as a player to be exactly who you want to be; Gender, personality, history, and of course cosmetic attributes all are able to be customized. After that you choose from 5 classes of character. Each one offering a complete...
