Mass Effect is an incredible and addictive game. It really immerses you into the thick of it. Voice acting is top notch and together with the life-like animations of the characters will really give you the feel that you are talking to real people. So far I have clocked in 40 hours of game play. I'm currently on my 2nd play through on my old Soldier character, you can start the game over with any character you have finished the game with all the items, skills and weapons intact. On top of that, I have a level 8 Adept character. This will give you an idea of the length of the game and how you may play it. There are plenty of ways to handle certain situations, whether you choose to side with someone or if you have to make life or death decisions. Mass Effect is also visually pleasing, you can choose to have a grainy film effect or not. The only boring part, I have to admit, is the vehicle game play which it is seriously flawed, Thrasher Maws are twice as annoying as you'll often find your self running away from them then actually engaging in combat, they will sometimes spawn right in front of you resulting in certain instant death. The vehicle turret has limited elevation, and you'll often find that the shells don't hit where you aim. Other than that the game is awesome. This is like Jade Empire x100.
Overall, I absolutely love Mass Effect and recommend it for any hardcore RPG gamer, or a novice to the whole RPG scene.
