I wanted Mass effect before most people even knew about it and I loved it at first, but after completing about 3times it dies and gets left on your shelf. But thats just my experience for all I know you might love it,, I say go for it if its cheap but don't be paying alot for it. As for the story its brilliant at first but seriously dies after 3rd completion, by the 4th time I was sick of the story and pretty much played to clock it...but I just couldn't be bothered.

It's an awesome game, at least the main quest, the optional quests suck big time, it's like another game, but at least it's fun to drive the Mako on those planets :) and the DLC isn't that good/fun, the best part of it, again, is that you can drive the Mako :).

I personally did not get the game for the PC. But, I did when it came out for the 360. One of my favorite games. :)

You have to download the DLC, it's like a patch, it doesn't come with the game, not even the new copies made after the DLC was released and it's kinda like a side quest, it has nothing to do with the main quest, it's just a new "planet" (a meteor if I recall correctly) that appears on the galaxy map. I don't remember the story much but I think those mercenaries were directing the meteor towards earth, or maybe some other planet.

But anyway, the DLC isn't that good, because all you have to do, is to disable 4 or 5 thrusters that make the meteor move and all those bunkers are exactly the same, but the ending is pretty good, the fighting, the story.

P.S No you don't have to start the game again.

Mass effect isn't that long...I complete it in about 2days if I get the time, like a weekend. But thats just me, if you take things slowly then it will probaly take you a week or two before completing this once, but a lot quicker the next time you complete it. Its just the story doesn't change and once you have done the game once, you have pretty much finished it, all thats different is the ending. The only reason I played 3 times was because I changed alignment...1st character was good...2nd my character was evil and the third time I completed it I was nuetral. Its just the Story is great at first but quickly dies since there really are only 2ways to good or evil...nuetral is just boring. Battle was brilliant at first but when you complete the game you have a choice of changing the difficulty, easy is just to easy and well hard is just annoying because all that happen is you face more enemies and they have more life, which can be tedious and take more time then it needs to. Despite my complaints the game was brilliant at first and was good 2nd play but then it just died. So as I said if you want it don't spend to much on it, you will enjoy it but when it dies you may feel you paid too much for it, maybe wait till easter it might drop in price even though it is 1yr old now and the price should already be low. Mass effect 2 will also be coming 2010, many people say its coming this year, but the fact is there is no way they are releasing that game this year, but we will probaly see a preview E3 which is like 8months away so yeh...long wait.

Great game. I'm getting through my second play through. Great story, great gameplay. Like others said, the side quests are bland compared to the main quest, but they aren't that bad. The DLC is great.

yup it's suppose to be a trilogy. i just hope EA allows Bioware to port mass effect 2 and 3 rather than Deimurge cause they did a crappy job. I'm also scared about EA's involvement with bioware's games.....

My reactions to the game:

Sweet! It's just like KotOR but with a cooler combat sys--oh wait, it gets pretty lame after a while.

Awesome! The stoy is really immersively! It's really cool how y--oh wait, the story is actually kind of lame.

The characters are great! The dialogue is really nice and--ah, I guess KotOR 2 did this better.

You can travel to different planets and like, land and stuff! That so c--err, I guess it's just an extremely dumbed down 3D version of the planet-hopping in SCII.

I got to the very end of the game last weekend, and I didn't even feel like finishing it... still haven't.

It's a decent game. However the planet exploring is horrible and the side quest are mostly not so good.

well yeah i like freeplay it pays off with more time and trains you for story mode challenges.. mafia said: "difficulty settled on nightmare, no weapon pickup from the shops allowed..go and die now" Kinda painful isnt it?

because if you play a gta game you run around and steal cars or kill people... mafia is story mode.....i dont like that :cry: i want to screw around in the city, freeplay mode is empty.
