Gaming / Video Games / Mass Effect
People like to explore, its something about that sense of discovery that makes it so enthralling. Mass Effect capitalizes on that feeling by giving you a whole galaxy to explore with over 30 planets to explore you'll have plenty of things to discover. But Mass Effect isn't really an open-world game, its actually an RPG and a shooter, yeah i know those dont seem to mix well but Mass Effect nails it.
You start off by customizing your characters backround info such as where your from, earth, a colony or space stations and your psychological profile whether your ruthless, sole survivor, or a war hero. Each of these changes how people react to you and what side quests you can get. You then get to customize your apearance which can be tough to get someone who looks human except for the pre-sets. Lastly you must chose your class Soldier (all guns), Engineer (Hacking and Decryption), Biotic (Phsycic), or hybrid classes which mix aspects of each, all are perfectly balanced so none are over powered and make the game any less fun.
The gameplay in this game is flawed as the equipment menu's are hard to navigate and controling your guy can sometime be clunky. But if you can overlook those which should not be hard at all you'll find a very good RPG and a game that has great action. Their is one other gameplay element i have yet to talk about, the conversations, in this game whenever you talk to someone a dialogue tree opens up with options of what you want to say, when this happens you get a close up of the people faces who are talking, and the facial animation and expression is astounding you can feel emotions from characters when you talk to them.
This game is simply amazing the only negatives are extremly minor technical issues like frame rates and such but the top notch writing, great action, deep customization go so far as to make this game one of my favorites of all time. BUY IT NOW!
