Combines shooting with a great RPG element
Mass Effect combines the feeling of a shooter within a RPG element. Mass Effect also combines space exploration which many people have been waiting for. Mass Effect starts out very well, getting to create you rown character, and even picking out what your characters' background was. Then you finish the first mission and get your space badge and your free to ride around the galaxy with your ship, The Normandy N7.
Mass Effect offers great custimizeation features. You gain credits in many ways- killing enemies, doing side missions, and selling your un-wanted equipment at the store. You can use your credits and buy better armor and upgrades. One great feature in Mass Effect is the ability to customize your weaopns with thousands of different upgrades. There is also many different classes in Mass Effect that fit you style of play.
Overall Mass Effect is a great game, there are some things that do stop the experience including, bad frame rate then-n-there, and a horrible driving experience. I would rent Mass Effect and see if you like it. Overall, Mass Effect is a great game and a great experience.
