I think it's alright. I got it when it first came out and have since then putting off, I started playing it over again from the beginning, and it's working out. Maybe it's just me, but this game has loads of tech problems.

OK, so we've established that you (TC) think that Bioware's PC efforts have historically been superior to their console offerings... yes? Super... so what do you think of Mass Effect on PC then?

Mass Effect is hands down my favourite (Non-Orange Box) game of this generation. Incredible visuals, fantastic story, and fun gameplay (+ Free DLC for PC which is a WIN! :D).

But there are so many drawbacks, to it. DRM = Worst in the world, Visual Glitches = Everywhere, and the lighting = Terrible.

I hope they fix this for ME2. :D

They reworked the game and added some gameplay elements just for the PC. They know how to treat PC users. :)

Better controls(imo at least), better graphics (max res, AA, AF and it still looks quite nice) and mods. But yeah, underneath it all it's the same game.

I was kind of disappointed in the game. While it was a decent game, it was laking in a lot of areas.

The first shortcoming I encountered was the lack of variety in weapon and armor models. I mean how can weapons and armor from different manufacturers run by different species all look the same? Are we to also believe that all the species have the same looking ships?

The second thing is, the total lack of variety in the layout of buildings in the side-quests. All the mines and buildings have the same layout, with slight differences in cargo placements. Either the game was rushed or they just got lazy when it came to the side-quests.

The third thing is the combat. I was really disappointed with the combat. It tries to be more action oriented but it does not do it very well.
