ummm....WOW. This game is amazing in every way, In the video it shows a look at the character creation, some dialog, some fighting, and the developers. Mass Effect is a VERY strong goty contender.

I can't remember the last time I anticipated a game this much and I've been playing since before Nintendo got in the business. Its amazing the amount of choice there must be. Multiple play-throughs can result in completely unique experiences.

I could not agree more. Of all the 360 games comming out i MUST have Mass Effect. I am really looking foward to halo and bioshock and others but Mass Effect is on a different lvl for me.

Yeah its the main reason I'm getting a 360. Still a load of other titles I want, but Mass Effect is like the only game I've ever 'needed'.

How is that? you mean the way he looks? Because its the player controlling his behaviour. I think he's got a great personality for a sci-fi role from what I've seen, not a lot different from Han Solo.

Really the only thing thats impressing me right now is the character models in the conversations.

it looks all too much like KOTOR without lightsabers in terms of art style. Quite generic in places.....I mean his name.......commander john shepard? thats the best they could do? the whole main character is very uninteresting.

It just isn't for me, not a fan of sci fi (i like metroid though is that sci fi?)or WRPGs, I acknowledge that it will good but this wont my game of the year.

Don't yell at me lemmings :)

There's literally a galaxy of rich, deep, groundbreaking gameplay to this that certainly couldn't be achieved before or on the Wii for that matter. Its like a new frontier in gaming. But its not gonna be for everyone, heck I plain don't want Prime 3 for my Wii :P

very awesome indeed. also for anyone interested heres some of the options for shepards back story

Proflie Reconstruction: Pre-service history:

Spacer-

"Both of your parents were in the Alliance military. Your childhood was spent on ships and stations as they transferred from posting to posting, never staying in one location for more than a few years. Following in your parents' footsteps, you enlisted at the age of eighteen."

Colonist-

"You were born and raised on Mindoir, a small border colony in the Attkan Traverse. When you were 16 slavers raider Mindoir, slaughtering your family and
friends. You were saced by a passing Alliance patrol, and you enlisted with the military a few years latter."

Earth-born was not shown

Physchological Profile:

Sole Survivor-

"During your service, a mission your were on went horribly wrong. Trapped in an extreme survival situation, you had to overcome physical torments and psycholohical stresses that would have broken most people. Your survived while those around you fell, and now you alone are left to tell the tale.

War-Hero -

"Early in your military career you found yourself facing an overwhelming enemy force. You risked your own life to save your fellow soldiers and degear the enemy despite the impossible odds. Your bravery and heroism have earned you medals and recognition from the Alliance fleet."

Ruthless -

"Throughout your military career, you have held fast to one basic rule: get the job done. You've been called cold, calculation, and brutal. Your reputation for ruthless efficiency makes your fellow soldiers wary of you. But when failure is not an option, the military always goes to you first."

The framerate and AI has clearly improved. The visuals are absolutely mind-blowing. The character models..the character creation..dear God.

Not the mention the dialogues..they're out of this world! :o

GOTY?

Between this and Bioshock, I sure think so.

Yeah, I laughed at how aggressive he was. Perhaps this is something that can be changed based on which background you select?

I'll say it again; In the Galaxy Map footage, when the camera zoomed out from the first segment which had about six locations to choose from...did you see how many other sectors there were, each having about 4-6 other locations? Easily 50. This is going to be, literally, HUGE.

The book is a prequel. It won't tell you anything about Shepherd or the events that occur in the first game. The book is used to explain Saren's motives, and explain how humanity got from 2007 to present-day Mass Effect. Revelation has it's own story which involves Kahlee Sanders, and David Anderson. FYI, Anderson is Shepherd's superior at the beginning of the Mass Effect game.

I would like to point out that John Shepard is the defualt name and you can change the first name but you can not change Shepard.

damn! i didnt know the game had character creation, i thought everyones john sheperd would be the same. that hypes me way more now cuz i love depth of customization in games like san andreas or oblivion.
