Great story, good action..........worst handling car ever invented
-Strong immersive story which hooks you.
-Action is good, a competent third person shooter
-looks great, surfaces never look grainy and character models are all well animated
So now the bad.......and its not much but
-The amount of dialogue in this game is huge. the problem with this is that it breaks flow. the pauses between finding an alien and murdering it can sometimes be so long you wnt to murder your console
-the driving sections, although full of action, are the worst i have ever experienced. This car handles like a qudriplegic donkey with four peg legs!!!!!!!!!!!.......ok so that may be harsh but it is terrible. Also it has a strange ability to defy gravity. it can climb vertically up cliffs!!!!!!!!this is also never explained, so it must be a bug
-Also there is a lack of a difficultly curve. Even on the highest difficulty setting i found the game far to easy......but i have played far to many bioware rpg's
So all in all mass effect is an enjoyable experience that i would recommend to all. but just remember its not without its flaws. (btw i rated it 9 because i cant do 8.8, lol)
