NZGamer: Mass Effect Review - 'They've made it feel at home on the PC'

NZGamer writes: "When Mass Effect was released gamers rejoiced, as the brilliant minds at BioWare had pushed out a title that satisfied almost every western-RPG lover in the industry. We were given a ship, a crew, and a mission that took place all within the vastness of space. NPC interaction was nailed on the head with fantastic facial animations and a speech tree that branched out to many possibilities. However, it was only ever released on the Xbox 360 – leaving gamers from the PC and PS3 areas to wander elsewhere for a good space-faring experience. But gamers can rejoice once again - Mass Effect is now on the flexible platform of the PC.

Players start out just like the 360 version – by creating a custom character (limited only by his last name) or simply selecting a pre-made one. Not only are facial features definable but the history and class of your character as well. The multiple classes to choose from basically combine three things: Biotics, Engineering, and Combat. Players can either focus on one or two of these skills creating such classes as 'Infiltrators' who use a combination of Biotics and Engineering in order to get the job done."

Good gawd could this site be anymore blatant and lame towards the ps3. Siren 7.0, Mgs4 8.5 -- Mass Effect 9.0?

Please, Mass effect is riddled with bugs out the ass. Maybe it's a 7.0 and mgs4 is a 9.0 but not the otherway around for damn sure. I'm glad they're not apart of the meta.

i dont know why, but metacritic already has it up

BOSSMK XXIII5792d ago

merlox333d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.

Snowb420533d ago

If you get your readiness level high enough in Mass Effect 3, *spoilers* you can see Shepard taking in a breath of air under some rubble. It would depend on whichever ending is canon.

Where is my ''Indoctrination Theory'' and ''Destroy'' ending gang at?

@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
