Rating:  - A breathtakingly epic sci-fi adventure...
Mass Effect might be the first truly cinematic video game experience. Everything from the electronic score to the optional film grain applied to the visuals to the top notch voice acting talent make you believe that you are the lead in a mid-80s classic science fiction film (think Blade Runner or Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan).
The plot is epic. You command a state-the-art starship (the Normandy, which is not unlike the Enterprise) in the twenty-third century with a crew of intersting ... Read More
Rating:  - Immersive fun universe
One of the best RPGs of the year. This game is incredibly imersive. There is a long deep main story line that really keeps the game moving along and tons of side quests to bring the universe to life. With any RPG its the details that kill games. Not Mass Effect. The developers focused on every aspect of the game play and really polished it to a high shine. The biggest downfall is that it was developed for the Xbox and so the graphics aren't as good as you would expect from a game this incredible well ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Game, Messed up my computer though.
This is by far one of the best single player experiences I've ever had. The graphics are incredible, I maxed them out on a Intel Core 2 E8400 3.0GHz CPU, 2Gb of RAM, and an Geforce 8800GT (512Mb) 1600x1050 resolution.

While I am a first person shooter fan, it was easy to adjust to 3rd person and over the shoulder views. I ended ... Read More
Rating:  - DRM- No thanks!
Thanks to all who posted concerning the DRM. After researching it, I'v edetermined that it's a suckers move to purchase this game or any game with SecuRom on it.
There are plenty of really great games out there without this DRM hassle. I'll stick to those alternatives.
EA/MS...good job. You lost another paying customer.
Rating: - Good and bad
Graphics were good, the main quest story was interesting, and it ran okay after I applied the patch. I was concerned about the limited number of installs allowed, but EA worked with me on that. The "sex scene" is avoidable if you don't get too close to the other charactors. I found the planetary missions to be a little repetitive, and even with the dowloadable content, entire game seemed a little short, but it is worth playing.
