A very good RPG adventure, with memorable characters and great action.
The game has a great storyline. You are John Shepard, hunting down an alien called Saren who is on the loose, attempting to find a powerful weapon called the Conduit, to destroy The Citadel, home to the galaxy's council. Many other missions bring you one step closer to finding Saren.
Combat is action packed, with a four types of weapon to choose from. These are a pistol, assault rifle, shotgun and sniper rifle. You can find many different guns across the four types. You can also use melee to knock enemies down, if you are close. It looks smooth and flows well. One problem in combat is boss battles. In the last one, it is shaky and too hard to aim as the enemy moves around so much.
The graphics are very good. They have a slightly distinct look to them. They are quite fuzzy but at the same time they are good. Some aliens close up have bad graphics, but it's not something you will see often.
Customisation is varied and deep. You can upgrade your skills, including your charm or intimidation in conversations, your weapon power or your skill in electronics minigames. You can change your outfit and before you start, you can customise your facial features. It's not as deep as some games, as the main features of your eyes or nose and other parts of the face come from a preset shape.
Overall, it's a great game. It can get slightly boring and confusing around the middle point but you will enjoy most of the game anyway.
Positives:
-Action packed, flowing combat.
-Deep and immersive story and conversations.
-Good customisation.
Negatives:
-Shaky and tough boss battles.
