Finally got through Mass Effect yesterday and I have to say that Bioware continues to impress. The game starts out pretty dry, giving you only a little bit of action and a big city to explore early on but when the story picks up it certainly keeps going. The game has some nice visuals, even 2 years after release, and the FPS and RPG elements blend fairly well, even though the shooting part feels kinda rough in spots (especially the sniping). Loot is always a factor in any good RPG, and the main stuff in here are the guns and armor. I'm not sure if it was just me, but I didn't end up getting anything that great until almost end-game, but the enemies weren't that hard overall.
The game also introduces some stuff carried over from KOTOR, like lifting your enemies in air or throwing them across the room which can be fun but not necessary throughout the game on normal. With the sequel coming out soon, I'm glad I finally got this one out of the way so I can fully enjoy, and transfer my game save over to the second one. If you're into "Scyfy" and liked the KOTOR series, I would suggest getting this one, if you somehow missed it 2 years ago, and if you put it down because the beginning dragged on too long, just bite the bullet and get past it, it's worth it.
