It uses a gears-of-war style cover system, and you also have the ability to freeze the action at any time, look around, plan your next move, and use one of your skills. But, the game's real appeal is a deep story, an engaging cast of characters, and fully interactive conversations.

1) Reason with him

2) Explain to him the choice options

3) I don't have time for this

4) Kill him cruely

1st of all: it's not a shooter, it's an RPG!

The world/universe is very well thought out. There is a truckload ofbackground information and everything is just right. The story is epic and typically Bioware.

Replayability is high, because you can play it with every character history, every class, make different dialogue choices, andtake along different partymembers on each playthrough. Each time it's a different feel. not to mention that you can basically play as the good guy or the nazi.

That part is very true. You're either nice, an average guy with decency, or a total nazi.... those are your three choices. lol

But if you have ever played SW:KotOR 1 or 2, and you liked them, then you'll love this game.

small SPOILER ahead

You could scrape me from the floor whenI made the "evil" remark (I can make him shut up)in the dialogue with the insane guy in the tutorial,I was like: "ok, my character just did WHAT?"

Great story with many options to handle the situations, amazing dialogue and a fun combat system with some RPG elements sprinkled in.

Yeah, I thought it was hilarious when Shepard just clocks the guy right in the face. I mean, he gets knocked out either way but the Renegade response in that situation is just hysterical.

You've got some great powers that stop it from being a generic shooter but its real appeal is in its plot and the characters of the game.
