Well for me, the only problems I had was the texture loading. Other than that I think this game is a runner up from Game of The Year.

Mako Combat is fun, mostly because of physics, but when you flip it sometimes you can't re-flip it and have to load a save

the only time i ever flipped the mako and couldnt get it back over i just warped to the ship and went back down again but other than that i love singing the spiderman theme when going up moutains. i think its entertaining ti can crawl everywhere, i dont see how its a bad thing. but about dying all the time just wait till you play insane. LOL it becomes a whole new ball park of difficulty. but its more fun in my opinion. you gotta time your shots and pop outs just right or you'll be looking into the face of a gunshot or knockdown bubble as i call them.

It's easily not only my GotY, but my favorite game of this generation thus far. Next time someone says video games aren't art, show them this game. 'Nuff said.

Combat is boring. Every single side quest is the same. Characters not very

interesting to be honest.Conversations are,very short,and one sided.

Very overrated IMO.

Well I think they used the elevator thing so you wouldn't have to stop and load every few minutes so you feel like your still in the story instead.

the few problems this game has are so easy to over look when you consider the size and amount of content that this game has. plus i'm sure some of the minor issues will be fixed w/ the promised DLC. deff my personal game of the yar.

Combot is just as engaging as any games. Every side mission is far fomr the same. Characters are more in depth that any in any other ame out right now, and the conversations can last for minutes on end and are NEVER one-sided. What game did you play or drug did you take to think you played Mass Effect dude.

Great game but a lot of things bug me about it.

  • Squad members usually make dumb moves and end up dieing all the time
  • Side quests on other planets were almost always in the same kind of environment, the mine place or building. All just get in, kill, walk back out, yay!
  • Mako missions/ roaming planets with Mako is boring.. Annoying controls and killing enemies became annoying since it wasn't any fun.
  • Can't go to earth? Hmm maybe in sequel.
  • No space battles? Would've been really cool with the graphics this game has. (yea, thinking about that, it could be really awesome if the 360 can handle it)
  • Clicking on planet, survey and read a little note is just plain stupid. Give me the ability to explore etc. or just leave it out...

There's probably more to complain but can't think of it right now. It's an awesome game that I really enjoyed playing but hopefully these things are fixed if there is a sequel.

its definately a very good game and definately a runner up for GOTY but in my opinion, it is not my GOTY. My top 5 games In Order are:

  1. Call of Duty 4
  2. Bioshock
  3. Mass Effect
  4. Assassin's Creed
  5. Halo 3

Easily GOTY. Cod 4 and AC dont even come close the shortness of their single player is laughable. Mass effect is amazingly fun, doesnt get boring at all. And how are conversations one sides, some are like 4minutes long and you can take any side you want. Although i agree with the mako, one time i got a GETh stuck inbetween the wheels and my turning was fked up till i died because i couldnt turn or drive for ****

Have you played through it twice or died and picked a different thing to say? Very often the options will turn out with Shepard saying the same thing, an in between answer that goes well with whatever you chose in the menu, and then the person you are talking to will have the same response usually that also fits the options. Still the conversations are very well done, I just wanted to put that out there.

I agree with the earth statement, besides, is there really any point of having some of those planets if all you do is survey them, maybe in the sequel (which IS coming)

I agree, I'd rather have a loading screen that an elevator, truthfully.

Luke-85

But the implemented the elevators quite well though. You do get sidequests just by riding them and can hear sometimes so good conversations between your companions. That is really i can say that is good about the elevator rides. Other then that reason i want normal load screens.

I would say the game with the best load screens in CoD4 (singleplayer). Having them brief you on the mission and have the screen moving around showing you stuff while loading is awesome.

I guess I was just expecting a lot after playing KOTOR and Jade Empire, which were both awesome. Hopefully they better themselves with the sequel, that would definately be a candidate for the GOTY of whatever year it comes out.

I actually like italot more than Jade Empire, and I think it's better than KOTOR, but the first time you play through KOTOR it's more than a videogame

Awesome game with movielike acting and plot. Solid gameplay, some loading times, horrible texture poping onscreen all the time. Overall an excelent game that could have used a few months of tweeking but had a pre holiday deadline to meet, like Assassin's Creed... Dudes, if you guys knew what was removed from Assassin's to meet the deadlines... Spoke with a friend from UBI Montreal a week ago and it made me cringe...

I did find having to replay conversations with a certain boss character over and over until I figured out how to deal with them was a bit annoying.... I did vary the conversation as much as I could each time just for the variety, but the outcome was always the same.
