Disturbingly good. A must have!
Mass Effect casts the player as one Commander Shepard, a member of the Alliance Millitary. The human race is something of a redheaded stepchild in the galactic community, as they've yet to fully prove themselves to the other races that make up the universe's governing body. Called simple the Council, this group keeps its collective finger on the pulse of the galaxy, responding and reacting to any emergencies that pop up. The Council uses a shadowy group of agents known as Spectres to take care of any particularly dirty jobs. As we all know, however, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and one of the agents goes rogue. Commander Shepard soon becomes the galaxy's only hope against an ancient threat.
