Video Game Reviews of Mass Effect
Customer Review: Slow, confusing, frustrating
Summary: 2 Stars
After hearing and reading so many positive reviews of ME, I thought I'd give it a try. ME has a lot going for it -- a rich story, great graphics, and hours of gameplay. The only trouble is that the game is incredibly tedious. I spent at least two hours at the beginning just running around a space station jib-jabbing with people, and getting completely lost in the process. They tell you to go here, then there, then back again...ugh.
Then when something entertaining does actually take place, they don't give you enough checkpoints. One mission I was nearly 30 minutes into, then *bam* -- I died from a fluke and had to start all over again.
I really wanted to like ME, but it's a drag.
Description of Mass Effect
Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story, where the real conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence comes to life in startling clarity. Intense, in-depth story where the fate of life as you know it depends on you Features six character classes, along with six more unlockable ones - each class contains several talents As each talent is leveled, the character either gains stats (extra health, stamina, etc) or unlocks new abilities. Players can fully customize their appearance, gender, abilities and even military background. Four classes of conventional weapons ESRB Rated M for MaturePromotions - For Editorial Games
