Mass Effect for Meatheads

Exactly what I expected-- a third person shooter designed for quick sales that feeds the military-industrial complex Americans love.

Cartoonish gameplay, ridiculously flat characters, an uninspired story and wonky controls make this the greatest pile of garbage to get more than an 8 on Gamefly. It's impossible to take this game seriously. Maybe the sequels are different, but this was definitely a flop.

Just like Mass Effect, without any of the interesting characters, fantastic plot, and cool powers. Another run of the mill shooter that you'll never miss. Nothing to see here, move along.

I just don't get what the whole world was going on about with this one. It was a misery! I could only play the first 10 minutes before I just gave up. The camera movement is RIDICULOUS and gave my friend a headache as he watched me play. I got up to the point in training where you have to use grenades and then I had to turn it off. I have never played a game before where you were forced to break cover just to aim. I kept trying to bomb the baddies down below, but whenever I aimed at them, they shot me... repeatedly. I was just trying to aim at them, but, again, I couldn't keep cover to do so. UNACCEPTABLE! I've heard so many good things about this game that I couldn't wait to play it, but BOY! What a disappointment! I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I can hold my own. This game was just stupid though. Trying to guide my guy while in "Roadie Run" mode was infuriating. Doing this run changed the game's physics (a cheap cheat, if you ask me). I was running into walls and failing miserably. As I said before, I know from games and can usually kick serious butt, but this one was just too frustrating. Guess I won't be trying out GOW2 lol
