MASS EFFECT

Yesterday was the big day that Mass Effect was released for the 360. I got up a bit earlier before going to work and got my Limited Collector's Edition from my local games store. Then, unfortunately, I had to go to work. But I managed to squeeze an hour worth of playing into my breaks. When I went home I fired up my 360 and played FOR 10 HOUR STRAIGHT! :) I have to say I haven't done that in a while. Reminded me of the good old days on KOTOR and KOTOR2.
Mass Effect is great! The character presentation is amazing. Awesome graphics, perfect camera, great story. Sometimes it really feels like you are in a movie. It reminded me a lot of KOTOR, but then the story is more classic science fiction.
Now I read about the problems in the game, but so far only encountered a few graphics glitches. The combat feels a bit too hard sometimes and I died a lot. Overall I'm looking forward to spend countless hours in the game until Christmas.

*g* I *knew* you'd enjoy it. The only point of criticism I have so far is the deciphering-minigame. As for the combat, I think that you're just not pausing the game often enough...since it feels like a tactical shooter, you're likely to rush in guns blazing...What class are you playing?
I started as a Sentinel.

I'm not yet through the game, but I'm gonna post a review sometime soon:D

I basically played Mass Effect all weekend long. Combat is much easier now, but I think the first mission on Eden Prime was too hard.
I'm playing as a soldier, but my next playthrough will be as another class and a Renegade.
The game is really addictive, and I hope it's not over too soon.
