Mass Effect

[Red Devil]

it feels more to me like an interactive movie than a game - and i love good movies.

Been playing ME2 since last weekend. Pretty interesting game, could have been more, imo, if it provided you with a bit more choice and a real difference in the outcome of that choice. In other words, this pretty awesome RPG feels rather linear (for an RPG).

About the combat system, for a 3th person shooter I think it is pretty good. Playing on above normal difficulty, you get chewed up in seconds and really have to work together with the cover-system or die a lot
Gives me a similair vibe as Red Faction Guerilla does, which is a good thing

I'd sell it as a FPS with some RPG elements, but as such I can absolutelly recommend the game (Not a game for die-hard RPG'ers.)

just finished it after 80 hours (minus some time i left it up and paused). still trying to absorb the depth and breadth of it all.

Playing through it for the second time so I have the ideal ME3 import save... and wow, is Donovan Hock hard to take down. BTW, play it on Hardcore and you get a special assault rifle for your trouble.

what i have a hard time fathoming is the number of cutscenes made for playing with the characters you choose for each mission, plus the adjustments that have to be made depending if/when someone gets killed.

then there's the other 5 or 6 character types you can start out as.

The depth of the game is amazing. You'd have to play it so many times through to experience it all.
