Mass Effect Limited Edition (Xbox 360)
Amazing graphics and sound, almost limitless re-playability, fantastic storyline
Graphical hiccups, inventory/biotics control system, load times
Posted Apr 27, 2008 - Mass Effect is a fantastic sci-fi action RPG for the 360, and it's an amazingly well-done game with a few flaws. The storyline is some of the best done yet in a sci-fi RPG, with some real feeling that there's consequences to all the actions throughout the game. The game's scope is massive, with plenty of content to last through numerous replays of the game, due to the diverse character creation system. The game looks and sounds amazing, though some of the amazing graphics causes some hiccups in the framerate. The loading times are more than a little annoying, and the elevator scene between areas gets more than a little tiresome. The inventory and control system for the biotics is a bit of a jumbled mess, so it adds a bit into the difficulty. Overall, they're very small issues to an amazingly well-done game. The LE package adds some nice behind-the-scenes content, as well as gamerpics and themes for the 360, plus a bestiary of creatures encountered through the game. It's also packed in a nice metal tin.
