Mass Effect for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This is possibly the most perfect game I have ever had the pleasure to play. It was so good, I can't even express its perfection. All in all, there have probably only been 2 or 3 RPGS in all of history that were better.

Graphics 9/10 - The graphics in the game were spectacular. My only complaint was that at times, the textures would take a little while to load, however, they loaded in game, so the loading screens were extremely fast, which was a huge plus.

Sound 10/10 - Great sound, great music, excellent voice acting.

Story 10/10 - Excellent story. Lots of descisions to make that effect the game's story arc, but there was a story! It wasn't like Oblivion were it was so open ended that there was almost a lack of story. Rather with Mass Effect, you had different endings, but an amazing storyline to follow that was different each time depending on what you did.

Gameplay 10/10 - Probably the best RPG gameplay I've ever seen. It was a mix of RPG style character leveling, a "spell" type system, and an awsome weapons system that allowed for everything to be done in real time. It was like a mix of Gears of War and an RPG.

The only drawback to this game was its lack of multiplayer. All they had to do was make it so a friend could plug in, and play as one of the three teamates and this game would have been instantly solidified as probably the greatest XBox 360 game on the market. As it is, I cant reccomend the game enough.

Rent it if you just want to do one play through, or buy it if you want to keep going through it with different characters and different story archs.

Oh, one last thing, when you play through the game, be sure to do EVERYTHING! There are a lot of side quests, and you can spend an easy 50 hours on the game. Or, if you just play through it fast, it will be over in as little as 13. Its a lot funner though to do it all and really expierence the game.

I have never enjoyed RPGs, ever. But this game was so awesome and fun to play! I played through it twice during the rental, couldn't put the controller down.
My 2nd playthrough was totally different from the 1st playthrough, it can be different every time you play it. I will definately be renting this again soon ehough.
You MUST try this game.
