Once, but you must understand... I have a 60gig harddrive in a beast of a machine. It's a pain to get rid of the games I really enjoy so I can try new ones.

I have just finished my first play through. I might go back a little bit to try a different character class.

Do you like the game?

Three times, but the third time was torture, dunno why I did it. Mass Effect is great the first time through, but the thing is so damn repetitive that further playthroughs are a real chore.

Played through it once. I'm waiting on the patch with the extra content before I try it again.

I haven't finished it yet, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it thus far, and I plan on playing it a few more times after I finish it.

Less than one. The game proves that Bioware sucks...

Twice, although the second play-through was extremely boring.

I played through it once. I tried to get all the stupid little artifacts and all that scattered on the those planets, but I gave up. I got like 5 hours into my 2nd playthrough though.

Once, with absolutely no ambition to play it through again. Which is sad, because I like to get at least 2 play throughs with games, especially when they're short like ME. This game just didn't stroke my fancy mate.

If it is anything like KotOR I can see myself playing it at least 3 or 4 times at least, just to experiment with all the different cIasses and story outcomes. I have it on 360 though, since my PC cannot run it and I am not desiring to invest in a new PC right now.

Once, and I'm probably not going back just yet. I was planning on waiting for DLC, whenever that comes.

3 times, and got all the achievements on those three runs. First time was incredible, second time was pretty fun, third was meh.

I put the save files on a different drive then I uninstalled.

Played through it once and stopped half way through my second run.

Like nutcrackr, I think I'll wait until the DLC comes.

Twice on the 360. Once as a male soldier and another as a male tech. When I played on the PC I decided to play a female biotic, not a big change between the sexes, but a few things here and there were changed up. I played through twice on the same char on the PC and reached level 58 by the end of my second playthrough, going to go back again after bring down the sky is released and try to get the level 60 achievement.

I enjoyed playing it much more on the PC, wish it would have come out at the same time as the 360 instead of having a 6 month delay, barely finished it a first time on my 360 due to it's technical problems. Still a top-notch game, however, can't wait for the next one and hopefully it won't be a limited exclusivity 360 game to start.

ive played it through twice, first on the 360 and then on the pc. cant see myself playing it again any time soon. despite a great, albeit short, main story those side quests became such a chore. i struggle to think of a game ive played in recent years that had as dull and as tedious a series of side quests as mass effect

zero, I try to play it but it's just kinda boring, don't get me wrong I love games with a story but this game is dull, can't play too much of it, sometimes I just wish the NPCs will just shut-up and that my team will stop shooting me in the back, then I exit the game. Sorry bioware I loved baldur's gate but this is not one of your best RPGs

How many times have you played through the story of Mass Effect before you decided to stopped?Jd1680a

Once. The story is ok, but it's not good enough to get me to play through a sencond time. Even all the choices of character paths you can start with and follow aren't enough to have me want to play through again....

I played it once so far and my Commander Sheppard was male. So I might play it as a woman Commander so I can watch the lesbian sex scenes.
