Yeah I bought mass effect the other week as it was cheap/highly recommended. Am about 7 hours into the game and so far am enjoying it; fun to play and still looks great. Also the fact that it is very much a shooter is awesome as I am not much of an rpg person usually.I do have a few tiny niggly complaints though;

1) I find the combat and team interactions a little clunky, although I still think the overall combat experience to be fantastic

2) I find it a bit annoying that when you die you have to do the precursor interactions with the enemy that killed you previously again (I'm thinking here mainly of the fight against Matriarch Benezia on Noveria where I died a few times before completing it but still had to do the same conversation every time I resumed the game). I like having the conversations and accept it as part of the rpg experience but having to continuously do the same one again and again is pretty annoying after a while. Couldn't they just fast forward to the action the next time?

3) The music is pretty terrible:P

Great game though and am hoping it continues to be as fun/the story remains as engaging
