Assassins Creed took me 14 hours, I did all investigations and such before each hit. The only achievements I didn't get were the ones that you had to know about before going into the game to get and the ones for finding flags, and templars because well they're a waste of time and I gain nothing in game for doing it (as far as I know...) I want in game incentives for doing search missions since I coudn't care less for achievements when I say that I mean like how GTA does it.
Mass Effect can be beaten in less then 20 hours unless you really want to immerse yourself in the universe, which I recommend doing to get moneys worth. Animations aren't as smooth as AC, and I personally didn't find the gameplay much better than AC's.
For a vacation game I'd say AC simply because it's better for just sitting down and playing for a couple hours in between doing other things. When you play ME you get so pulled into it you don't want to leave the console to do anything but sleep, eat and drink when needed lol

Assassin's Creed is short and repetitive. I can't speak to Mass Effect's quality, but I can tell you that IMO AC is a rental.

AC is better,i rented MA and played it for 1 hour and i got bored timmy0890

I heard the combat takes a few hours to get used to, then after that the game becomes significantly more enjoyable.

Both games have a lot of depth to it and I wouldn't say either one is short. AC just has this unique style that hasn't been done before or atleast not to the extent of being good. The gameplay is solid and it's a more relaxed game because there aren't critical decisions to be made like in Mass Effect. Overall I would say get AC just because you can't go wrong with it.

My first playthrough of Mass Effect I was let down pretty bad.. it has a terrible interface, start menu, inventory screen, vehicle(mako), cover system.. and it's just boring. The only real complain people have with Assassins Creed is that it repeats its self, but then again what game doesn't? I enjoyed AC way more then ME, but I didn't hate ME I just wouldn't reccomend it to anyone, not even Dick Tracey.

With that being said its up to you.. are you all about space exploration(limited) and frame rate issues? Or killing random people while repeating the same 5 missions over and over with framerate issues?

Mass Effect, every time. AC you've seen everything in about 30mins of gameplay. Rediculously repetative.

Your an idiot. Mass Effect is probably the best game ever. Assassin's Creed gets boring after 5 hours, I have the both I would know.
