I have to say that as a primarily RPG-oriented player, this game made me nervous. However, my nerves were unfounded. This game was fantastic! The INSANE amounts of detail that went into all the background and information in this game is impressive all on its own. Group that in with top-of-the-line graphics, a great story, numerous options for side quests and character/relationship development as well as simple, fun shoot-'em-up action, and you've got a nearly perfect game!

There were a few things I was dissatisfied with, but over all, I think this game is one of the best games out there.

Mass Effect is one of the best RPGs to date and can be classified in that rare list of "Genre Defining" games. Certainly deserves to be placed in the top five games ever created. I can't wait to see the next installments of this epic saga.

Mass Effect gives the X-Box 360 its first great RPG experience.

Bioware, responsible for the Knights of the Old Republic games on the X-Box and PC, manages to successfully mix a third-person shooter with RPG storytelling elements. The fast-paced gameplay allows Mass effect to avoid the tepid pace that many RPGs have, all the while maintaining an atmosphere to rival something out of a Robert Heinlein book.

The game does have a couple flaws. One of them is the planets. Almost every pirate base on every planet follows the same layout, something that gets old fast. While most of these bases are done through side-quests, it still would have been nice to see a little more variety in their design. Another problem is that the game is filled with several minor technical hitches. There are times when entire layers of textures will disappear and reappear.

Even with its problems Mass Effect is an incredible game. Possibly the best RPG that Bioware has made.

This game has everything, from walking in futuristic cities, to driving a pimped out dumbuggy through alien planets. There is no game with better graphics or details. The thibng is that the the game is about 80 hours long, best graphics ever and full HD. How did they do that on a 9 GB DVD?? That's called Great Programming. The end of the game is what you make it, whether a good ending or a bad one, it is your great decision or your fault.

Mass Effect is one of the deepest and most impressive games I've ever played. Enormous levels(/planets), fun abilities, and familiar-feeling power-ups all lend themselves to the universe that BioWare has created. Add all of that to the dialog options and the sheer open-ness of the game and you have a sure-fire winner for just about anyone. Also, the ability to talk the main villain, Saren, into suicide makes this one of the greatest games of all time.

Mass Effect is one of the best RPG's I have ever played. What is amazing is that it is for the xbox360 which is not known for good RPG's. Mass Effect is a must buy if you own a 360. You might even think about buying a 360 for the game, its that good.

As a loyal RPG gamer, I'm eager to pick up any worthwhile title that enters the genre... so I was immediately interested when Bioware announced Mass Effect for the X360. "Sci-Fi RPG at it's finest." However, as more time passes, the title that was meant to appeal to the RPG market seems to be more of a shooter than an RPG. And while this hasn't made me like it less or dislike it, it is making me wonder how "RPG" the title will be. Thoughts? Maybe I should stop living in the binds of a category. :P
