Xbox 360 - Mass Effect Review

Being a sci-fi fan, I couldn't help but buy this the day it came out.  I must say I was not disappointed.  I was immediately intrigued with the creators who knew they had such a great game that a backstory could be written.  I did myself a wonderful favor and read Mass Effect Relavalations when it first came out.  This got me familiar with the society, the characters and the motivations of our main hero and villain. 

Mass Effect does a wonderful job of putting together a D&D style role-playing game into the futuristic landscape.   Relationships are smartly developed throughout the game, huge decisions are made that will sawy the outcome, down-loadable contents has added to the variety of the story and the power of your character is incredible fun.  Like most RPGs you have a nice selection of specializations which can allow you ti play the game several times in several different ways.

Another story recently cam out to bridge the gap between thie and Mass Effect 2.  The saga is unfolding and you should be there to lead the Captain.
