Mass Effect

[WildCards]

I bought and downloaded this via Live over the weekend. It's been out for a few years I realise but is anyone else playing? I think it's great, definately alot like KOTOR in gameplay, just a different story obviously. Loving the physics defying exploration buggy.

I got it free when I bought another xbox, mine was out of warranty, and I think it's fantastic. Good gameplay, good story, and apparently there's a sex scene at some point
I love just wandering round planets and seeing what you come accross! Now if it was multiplayer that'd be even better!

Fantastic game, long lifespan as well. Loads of options on how to play the game and better still the second one is out early next year.

2nd one should out soon Fantastic game, music and voice acting was good too which was a shock !

Oh and the sex scene......you get either the annoying american woman or the blue alien Oh or the head prostitute as well

My guy managed to nail the head prostitue, I haven't been following the romance sub plot for the other two though, too busy collecting crap to get the 'Rich' acheivement and gain access to the good kit.

You're right about the music though, I've been really surprised how well it's matched to any particular scenario.

Finished it last night (28 hours) and immediately started a new game, I didn't know you stayed on the same level and kept all of your weapons, armour and upgraded skills. Makes the first mission very easy when you've got the Spectre weapons.

Can't wait for Mass Effect 2 now though!

Bought this just after it was released, played it for hours but then put it down and haven't touched it since. It is a good game but I had a few niggles with it that slightly put me off.

For instance, some of the underground levels on the planets seem direct copies of other underground levels on other planets. And sometimes I found controlling the rover car thingy a bit fiddly.

Also, since i've played Fallout 3 I find this game a little less 'polished' now. I know it's an older game though.

Apart from that the storyline is ace and some of the concepts are very cool. If they do make number 2 better it will be a hit i'm sure.

What a game! I was absolutely hooked on it until i completed it. One of the best story lines and great controls.

I'm actually replaying it now after finally finishing fallout 3....

It's still bloody good, and much less irritating now you're allowed to install it to the HD.
