"Mass Effect is not a revolutionary RPG -- hell, it's not even particularly innovative. It isn't a sprawling 40-hour epic, it doesn't include particularly great action, and it won't change the way we handle dialogue trees in role-playing games. Given how revolutionary Mass Effect seemed during its initial announcement, these realities may be hard to face -- but, like all crushing truths, you'll have to come to terms with them eventually. Once you do, of course, you'll be much more likely to have fun with this flawed, but enjoyable action-RPG."
"All in all, Mass Effect is a good game which will disappoint nearly everyone who plays it. Immensely flawed in its design choices, but absolutely fantastic in its attention to character and atmosphere, Mass Effect is enjoyable, but not a masterpiece; entertaining, but not revolutionary; epic and emotionally involving, but disappointing. It is not a great game -- but it is, generally, a good one."
Score: 7/10
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

The Mass Effect N7 Day teaser has already been decoded, and it features Liara T'Soni talking about The Council, and The Geth can be heard too.
Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.
@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
i can partially agree, its not exactly revolutionary and it does have flaws, but still i found it to be quite enjoyable.
well well
i disagree with him... it looks like he ran through it... took me 24 hours to beat doing less than half the side quests...and is definetly worth multiple play throughs ...goes to show reviews mean nothing, they are just one persons take, and a person who plays through it like that doesnt mean nothin in my book.
ITS A DEFINITE BUY FOR THOSE ON THE FENCE,BUT I MUST WARN YOU:FRAMERATE PROBLEMS AND GLITCHES PLAGUE THE GAME,IF YOU FINISH THE GAME WITHOUT HAVING TO RESTART YOUR 360 THEN YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONE
this is still a good score, nothing wrong with a 7/10.
only xbots or sony droids believe the game should be a 9+ in order to be considered good.
