"Mass Effect" is a science fiction action-RPG created by BioWare Corp., the commercially and critically acclaimed RPG developer of "Jade Empire," and "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic." "Mass Effect" will deliver an immersive, story-driven game-play experience with stunning visual fidelity. Published by Microsoft Game Studios, "Mass Effect" is an exclusive for the Xbox 360 video game system.

As the first human on the galactic stage, you must uncover the greatest threat to civilization. Your job is complicated by the very fact of your humanity, as no one trusts you and you need to find a way to convince everyone of the grave threat.

You will travel across an expansive universe to piece the mystery together. As you discover and explore the uncharted edges of the galaxy, you come closer to an overwhelming truth - learning that the placid and serene universe you know is about to come to a violent end and that you may be the only person who can stop it!

Key Features:

 

  • Incredible Sci-Fi RPG with a Rich, Engaging Storyline. You are the tip of the spear of humanity on the galactic stage.

Mass Effect will take you into new depths for an action-role playing game, where, unlike any RPG before; you will be faced with morally challenging decisions that affect the future of an entire universe.

Players will be able to choose from and customize a variety of stunning, photo-realistic character appearances at the start of the game, and can increase various statistics which will have an impact on their performance during game-play.

Random question: Does anyone know if the save counter gets all wacky after you hit 999 saves for the Xbox version of the game? I know people have had problems with the PC version going loopy. If I take my current character to a 3rd playthrough, I might hit that point, but I'll probably delete chunks of saves before then. Just curious.

Most interesting is the fact that I sold this game to a friend, whom really needed/wanted it more than I, before I found out what a great game it was.

I bought it, and never got around to playing it. What a shame..

 

Question: What are some of the flaws to said game?

Bought Mass Effect 2 but haven't even touched that one yet. Going through 3rd playthrough and still planning more. Could conclude it's pretty fun :)

Awesome game!!!!

 

Has to be one of the biggest enviroments ever built for a game... and it does not get old..

I´m at my 4th playthrough and still loving it...

 

Mass Effect is one of my favorite series (along with Assassin´s Creed and Bioshock)

 

It gets very old after you've played it as many times as I have.
