I am trying to decide which game to get, between COD4 and Mass Effect. I know about the games, and what types of games they are, but I was just wondering which game people thought was a better overall experience/game?

Thanks!

I would go with Call of Duty 4. I thought it was a much better experience from a gameplay standpoint and I've hadboth since release. I haven't touched Mass Effect in ages but I feel like playing Call of Duty 4 all the time. It's up toyou though, do you prefer depth and story or a fantastic online experience?

Both if possible.

Its awfully hard to compare which is better because they aren't even in the same gaming genre... I'd have to say both are the top of their class though. Mass Effect is probably the best RPG on the 360 and COD4 is definately at the top if not near the top for FPS period.

If your a multiplayer type of gamer... I would have to say go for COD4 cause online is amazing in that game.
If your really into single player campaigns then go for Mass Effect. I played ME over the holidays and finished the campaign in a week or so.. I put in 40 hours into that character :) I've yet to play through again because it was alot to take in the first time around... but i'll get around to it again in the future!

If all you want is multi-player then COD4.

If you want single player then Mass Effect

Both games have a great storyline. I feel that you get a little more story out of Mass Effect.

If you want a great online shooter, go with COD4. If you're more focused on single player, Mass Effect far exceeded my expectations.

If you really can only afford one then get Call of Duty 4 now. Play the multiplayer before it dies out and then pick up Mass Effect when it become a Platinum Hit or if you can find it used for cheap. You should definitely play both of them though, Mass Effect is one of the best games to come out this generation and so far has my favorite single player campaign.

While they are both good games, I think I would pick Call of Duty 4. COD4 has a short campaign, but if you plan on playing on Xbox Live, you will be more satisfied with it than Mass Effect. Mass Effects re-playability depends on the person. You can get quite a bit of gametime out of it if you do all of the side missions and/or do 2 characters (bad and good). Ultimately it depends on whether or not you like RPGs or shooters more.

Depends on if you want a singleplayer or multiplayer experience. Mass Effect is an amazing game, but it is strictly singleplayer. That said you can easily get 60+ hours of enjoyment out of ME if you do the sidequests and exploration stuff and multiple playthroughs (M is one of the few games that really makes you want to play through again). COD 4 has a really short multiplayer campaign, but it has amazing multiplayer. You will be able to play it online for quite a while most likely and deriv a great deal of enjoyment from it.

So it really breaks down to personal preference, but ME would be my choice.

I own both and both are really fun but I would say there is a lot more replay value in COD4 then Mass Effect. If i had to only choose one it would be COD4.

This was too tough for me to make, and for someone to say that it is an easy choice is lieing. I could not decide so I just got both instead of a new cell phone, but im not regreting it. They are great games and both are worth it, but if you have to only get one I will have to say COD4. Mainly because the action is more intense and the multiplayer mode is great. Mass effect is a great though.

I disagree with the replay value. COD4 has great replay value but not better than mass effect at all.

How should I compare the two? It's like deciding should I order the lobster for dinner or the creme brulee for dessert. The best decision is to get both. Keep in mind that if you do go with Mass Effect, you have to adjust the setting to normal or hardcore because the casual setting is really easy. IN COD4 the multi player is unbelievable and the campaign is really hard on the harder levels.

COD4 all the way if you have live. The mulitplayer on that game is incredible. If you don't have live the game will be pretty short and you can only play the single player game so much, so I would say Mass Effect if you don't have live.
