Mass Effect: review it with me!, XBOX360 Options

[Uronacid]

Well, I'm sure most of you have heard of the game. I'm just going to give my review of the game. You guys can post your opinions on the game, or comment on mine. I made this topic to help those of you who have a hole burning in your pocket for an XBOX360 game and don't want to purchase a bad one. I'll rate it the same way IGN rates it's games.

Presentation: 8.5/10 The storyline was so f**king awesome. I have never played a game that had me laughing, crying, and even angry. This is truly a first for me. It was definitely the first RPG that I have ever played where I had felt like people where truly being effected by my decisions. The controls were great. Everything was great, the only thing that bothered me was the lack of help in the beginning of the game. If you don't read the manual then you're going to be lost. This really slows the pace of the game in the beginning. Getting the hang of things takes a good 2-3 hours.

Graphics: 8.5/10 Don't get me wrong, the graphics were incredible. The faces where so life like. I have never played a game where the faces looked so amazing, but there were far to many loading glitches. Also, I have seen better environments on the XBOX360.

Sound: 10/10 I have never see so much dialog in a game. I didn't have to read anything, this game was like watching a really good sci-fi movie. Not only that, the dialog was perfect. The voices sounded the way they should have, the music was straight out of a classic sci-fi film, and the sound effects were awesome.... perfection.

Gameplay: 9/10 Like I said above, this game has a learning curve. It's not as fun as you hope it would be in the beginning, but after playing it for a few hours you become addicted. You start landing on planets to look for survivors and lost treasures, developing relationships with characters in the game, and leveling up. The first time you play through the game, it's awesome. The second time you play through the game, it's fucking incredible.

Replay Value: 9/10 There are so many ways to play through this game. I have completed the game and I haven't even finished half the achievements. This game is wild, and I love it. I will play this game for months.
