Mass Effect is the most scrumtralescent game I have ever played. It has the perfect balance of role play elements and FPS action to satisfy my intellectual role playing side as well as my twitch FPS side. What really makes it a class above the other games on the 360 is the outstanding presentation and soundtrack. It blends the best of every Sci-fi film I have come across and keeps discovery and conquest on the tip of its plot.

The only bad thing I can say about the game so far, is the A.I. seems rather weak when engaging you in battle. They do not seem to know where to go or what to do when engaging the other characters. I can also say the support characters are totally useless unless you personally control every move they make in battle. Other than the A.I., and a slew of clipping issues, it is flawless.

If you even remotely enjoyed KOTOR, there is a good chance Mass Effect will make a nice addition to your Sci-fi collection.

Yah my friend got this game and he says it is bad ass. I want to play it but with lack of 360, makes it impossible.

I've never played KOTOR I or II but I know they are bad ass.

i've enjoyed KOTOR 1 and 2. I can't wait to get my hands on Mass Effect.

Waiting for the PC port.
