"A Friend's Mini Review"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A friend from Aussie who got the game early has this to say…This game is so epic, almost like playing an interactive movie with lifelike, realistic graphics. The people you speak to animate much like real people, and it's quite scary! The depth of the game is jaw dropping, and the dialogue confirmed by Bioware is around 2.5 million words! You can talk to almost every NPC you see, although some stand there and seem like decorations as they don't say a thing to you. This game will play with your emotions, you'll become friends with all your party members and see them as real people (that's how amazing this game is). You can even romance one or two, depending on your gender. And your choices will affect your friends, some can even permanently die from your choices! It's hard for me to even choose which two friends to bring along with me as they talk amongst each other more than on KOTOR, and talking to them via the interactive dialogue wheel is so enjoyable. And especially seeing your version of Shepard talking will blow you away! To be clear, this is an action RPG, not a shooter with RPG extras. The shooting is the combat, as the turn based fighting was the combat on KOTOR, so don't get this if all you want to do is shoot things. The graphics, the interactivity, the choices you make, all of this comes together to make this highly enjoyable RPG that will certainly become game of the year! Bioware has crafted an epic game that will keep you replaying many times. This is one for mature players, there is nudity and some cruel things you can do as Renegade that are certainly worse than on KOTOR! Well worth the purchase!

"Top-Class Science Fiction"
5 stars"

Having looked at a number of trailers and read reviews at Gamespot and IGN this game looks set to raise the bar of what a science fiction RPG should achieve. I'm going to pre-order my copy immediately.

"Biowares next RPG!!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Bioware is one of those rare successful companies that produce excellent games such as Knights of the Old Republic. Whenever I hear of a new Bioware game being released, I know it's not going to be a letdown. Mass Effect is entirely original. The gameplay looks amazing, you can choose to play like a third person shooter or do combat like KOTOR with turn based play. The graphics look exceptional and the artistic design is very very good. And with Bioware, you know its going to be a lengthy, highly polished game. The characters are going to be well developed and you'll actually not want them to die. Romance options are available for male and female which will make the game more immersive and fun. The game is quite similar to KOTOR in the travel system, how you can travel to all kinds of planets on your ship. But unlike the Ebon Hawk, the ship is huge and you can even travel to planets that are not in the main quest. This will make the game hugely immersive, being able to travel around space, going to planets, interacting with characters and doing many many quests. The new dialogue system is not like KOTOR where you choose what you want your character to say. The responses are short and are on a small pie wheel where you can easily move the analogue stick and choose a response, making talking with characters intuitive and simple. You can even interrupt characters and see how they react. Mass Effect is going to be highly detailed and an enjoyable movie like experience that you will want to play over and over again. Bioware will deliver another hit game that will very likely be Game of the Year! Worth the pre order!
