Rating : - Easily the game of the year 2008
Mass Effect (PC) is the latest in a succession of hugely successful role playing games created by Bioware (Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic). I would not hesitate to call it the game of the year 2008. To be honest, the game crashed a lot. I wasn't sure if it was my hardware or if it was because of bugs. Nevertheless, I'll still give it the highest rating I can give. I just completed the game for the 2nd time today and it was still amazing. Can't wait to run through it a third time with my level 48 soldier character.
Thanks for bringing this game to the PC Bioware.
Pros:
1. The characters, sci-fi settings and spaceship are all rendered and animated beautifully. The characters' faces look beautiful.
2. Each companion in your team has an interesting backstory and sidequests. The unique personality of each character is conveyed through engaging dialogue and superb voice acting (Lance Henriksen, Marina Sirtis, Seth Green and Keith David).
3. You will want to play it more than once because of the different classes, skills and specialties available. Your character can be a soldier, a biotic or an engineer. You can start the game at a new difficulty setting using your old character. The level cap is initially 50 but it increases to 60 after playing the game once.
4. Making full use of the equipment upgrades greatly increases your character and his/her companion's effectiveness and resilience in firefights. By carefully beefing up the entire team's gear I got to the point where the main character could stand back and order his companions during firefights and still win.
5. The story will keep you playing this for hours until the ending.
