@Mike @person

Reviews are the opinion of that particular member of staff. We provide the game, they give us their take on it. If you don’t agree, thats more then fine

Why would you let someone with such a biased opinion review this game?

Well its your opinion I guess, but I believe this game deserves at least a 9 in my book, its really awesome and re-playable.

Only thing is that I feel like I got ripped off buying the Bring Down the Sky DLC, because I beat it in like an hour…lol

@Sanzee

Sorry you felt that way, but it is an opinion. The rest of us on staff don’t necessarily share the same one (everyone loves it), so I hope you still enjoy all other content on the site.

@Sanzee

Are you suggesting game reviews aren’t supposed to be based on opinion?

I don’t quite get that.

Aww man! Not our reputation!

I loooooved me some Mass Effect. I spent so much time in that universe, because it was made for people like me. The atmosphere, the characters, the universe was all made for me. So much so that I was able to overlook the glaring design and technical flaws that game had.

I do love the game, but I can understand the polarization of it amongst the gaming community. It could totally be a 10 to one group of people and a 6 to another.

It’s strange that way.

I say this with absolute respect for the opinion of others (considering this review is more like an opinion, than a critics review), but man you are so far off in la-la land, I don’t even know where to begin. You can’t just slam a game because you don’t enjoy it. The points you attempt to make in this review stem from your opinion towards it. I played Mass Effect and somewhat enjoyed it. To tell you the truth, it wasn’t really my thing. But God knows it was still a fantastic game. If I were like you and rated it based on my opinion, I’d give it an 8. But based on the common critics judgement, on all levels such as visuals, gameplay, audio, tech, ect… this game deserves a far better score. I’m with the guy above. And I’m still debating whether or not you even played through the whole thing.

@ Timmy

Your “moral” choices point is a fair one, but to me, once I began seeing its seams, any notion of morality in this game lost any significance.

I’m sorry, but I have to flat our disagree with this review. You do bring up some good points in terms of barren landscapes, dialog options, and the occasional glitch; however, combat is NOT nearly as bad as you describe. In fact, I think the combat was probably one of the highlights of the game, right from the get-go.

You talk about barren landscapes, but the sheer amount of planets you can go to seems to not phase you. If BioWare were to detail each in every planet to the same scale as the more developed planets, we would be talking about Mass Effect being game of the year 2008, not ’07, and wouldn’t se ME2 until probably 2011.

You’re thoughts about choice are understandable, but you’re asking for too much. ME has always been thought as a trilogy, and obviously BioWare has a story they want to tell. The idea of “choice” does not necessarily need to revolve around where the plot goes; it’s a matter of moral choice.
