I got this from the Mass Effect forums but the game got rated a 9.75 out of 10.

-They noted the game was around 20-30 hours long.

-Best story since Star Wars, best story in a videogame

-great dialouge, they felt guilt when they yelled at a crewmember when she got teary-eyed

Don't know if this is true but you don't have to believe, just wait til' it comes out.

edit: i really think this is BS but I'll be happy if true though seeing as how early this issue is. I wouldn't suprise if this is true because EGM will have the review for this game on Oct. 30th so that means they must of had early- late Sep. to play this game.

The game hasn't even gone gold yet. But a nice score regardless.

I feel bad for anyone who is going to miss out on the game. I think we all knew it was going to be AAA from the first screenshots and gameplay vids.

If this is real, no big surprise. Mass Effect looked like a great game. The only problem with the game is it not Nov. 20th yet.

But people please don't flame the cows, it will only lead to problems.

The reason Game Informer would have a review is that they likely recieved an advanced copy that isn't quite as polished as the final version will be in order to make their deadline, because no one wants the Mass Effect review after the game is out. It would be an "epsilon" version in Bungie-speak. It makes sense too, Mass Effect has been more or less finished since some time between May and July depending on who you talk to, and all Bioware has been doing since July is QA testing and tweaking.

Anyone else notice that the poster on the BioWare board that the TC linked said that he found the GI review here on the GameSpot boards?

It does....but with a score like 9.75, would you really mind?

Anyway, let's wait for independent confirmation, at least a blog or SOMETHING before we start screaming "teh cows have been owned."

Bioware has said the main storyline is 20-30 hours if you rush through it, but you can spend upwards of 70 hours playingif you try and explore everything and do all the sidequests.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, they post their reviews on their website WAY before they send out the written copy.

i hope its true. kotor had one of the best stories in a video game imo, but jade empire story was somewhat dull. gameplay was good nonetheless.

I just think everyone is getting ahead of themselves by hyping this game as already having near AAAA review, when the source is BS

probably just a roomer but i dont like gameinformer reviews

come on they gave resistance the same grade as gears of war. you know something is wrong with that. and they gave bioshock a 10 the game is good but its not perfect.

9.75 should be easy to get on that site anyway so i believe it. it might get a 10 on there if bioshock got a 10.

This rumor orginated from Silellak on the Mass Effect Gamspot forum, so I doubt it's true.

I did, and it is possible that Game Informer has finished its review. Bioware said back at E3 that the game was more or less finished and they just needed to do some polishing and tweaking, they easily could have sent out advanced review copies a week ago so that EGM, GI and other mags could finish their reviews in time for their next issues. While obviously its just word of mouth, the points highlighted do sound very much like the previews for ME and sound like they would warrant the score. Obviously we don't know if its true, but there is a chance it could be.

did you really expect anything other than AAA. Microsoft delivers AAA, whereas the PS3 delivers 4.5 and demoesque Heavenly Sword AAA hyped games that dont deliver.

I do hope this is a valid review of the game. The trailers and everything are very promising for ME, and I can't wait for it to be released.

Game Informer always gets reviews out WAY ahead of time. They have reviews for stuff like Guiar Hero 3 in there issue out now.

And good for Mass Effect, when I get my 360, this will be the first game I get.

they have blu ray and the world best cpu the cell, also they have great games like Lair which cannot be done on the 360 and I kinda think Heavenly Sword looks better than Gears.

Actually, I'm not going to lash an insult or dumb remark, but rather ask if you have:

1) Read the post

or

2) Gotten an impression of the game to work with.

Prepare to get flamed. Thank you for stopping by.

Yeah, that was a terrible thing to say.

Mass Effect looks like a great setup for a sci-fi epic. I mean, this is supposed to be the first in a trilogy, so I'm already wondering where they go with it.
