Ok 10, disregarding a very few lame side quests, 10 says yes, this is a perfect game. Ask yourself...

What game gives you the ability to live inside of Star Wars and Star Trek at the same time? What game immerses you so deeply you forget what planet YOUR on? When I first popped in the disc I knew I was playing something I had not only never saw before, but would never see the same way again. Mass Effect for me is number 2 behind next-gen games behind only Bioshock. Do yourself a favor, rent it, buy it used, whatever own it. Then take a jaunt from the Citadel and land on Feros, this one mission alone will show you the depth of Mass Effect. I still leave this game, after playing it through over a year, wishing I was in the worlds I get to land on and explore. I really can't think of any type of gamer, including many FPS friends of mine, that wouldn't find something in this game for them. For me, this defines great gaming. Grant it, some side quests are hokey but this is not part of the big picture so yeah, 10.
