Another quality game from Bioware.
Although it isn't the BEST GAME ever as some people would say. It is a great quality game. The graphics are top notched, especially the facial dynamics. All i can say is wow. They did a very good job integrating that one into the game. I don't like the fact that there is only so many presets for you to choose from, but there is still a fair amount of choices.
The voice acting is one of the best i have seen in a game. The female Shepard in my opinion is the best of the main characters. The male is still well done but I feel that (Jennifer hale) does a better job at conveying emotion then the male. All of the NPC's and other team members are also well done.
The dialogue selection is truly amazing. The choices are great and you can have a great selection of ways to react or charm other characters. This innovation is probably my favorite of all the additions to this game. I could spend hours just talking to people. The conversations can differ so vastly that it can affect how those NPC's see you. These conversations a lot of time influence your paragon(good) or renegade(not so good, because you are never totally bad. mainly your are ruthless in the pursuit of what you see as the best option.)
I must say i love the fighting dynamic. It is TPS style, sort of like Gears of War. You can get cover by walking up to a wall or crouching and pushing up against the wall. You can shoot from cover using various weapons. My favorite being the sniper rifle. Put the right ammo on it and you can take out some of the toughest customers in the game. You can also use things called bionics to throw, warp, and hack enemies. Very simple to use and can be oh so satisfying. You can also order your team mates in the same way to use there various skills to attack, run for cover, or use bionics.
With positive things i should also list some of the negatives. The negatives do not necessarily take away from the positives of this game. A lot of them only occur to some people if you read on the blog boards. Some people complain of tearing, minor glitches and dumb AI. For the most part I did not have many of these problems. The only thing that bothered me was the elevators. They mainly seem like over glorified load screens and creep and creep to the next level. I always joked with people that they can travel through space but these people cant build an elevator lol. Maybe in the next game they will allow for partial installs on the hard drive to stop a lot of these problems.
in closing this game is one of the best RPG's out this year. Id go as far to say easily the best RPG on the Xbox 360 and i am looking forward to the next installments to continue the fight.
