Mass Effect E3 Previews

Two more previews for BioWare’s Mass Effect are now available, both of which are based on the demo shown at this year’s E3. The first is at ComputerAndVideoGames.com:

BioWare’s latest RPG is a futuristic epic in which you play Shepard, the only Human Spector – which is a kind of intergalactic police officer. In another of BioWare’s stellar storylines Shepard quickly discovers there’s trouble afoot in space; a terrible secret which could lead to the massacre of all organic life in the galaxy. Much in the style of KoTOR and Jade Empire, you must investigate this terrible mystery picking up a few friends along the way.

And the second is at Warcry:

At first glance, the star systems look humble, but on further examination, whole new star systems unfold before the player’s eyes. Possible destinations include derelict space ships, satellites, planets, and moons. There are hundreds of locations that expand far beyond the 25 hours of projected core game-play time. Side-quests can be found in these environments that can greatly enhance the character and experience of the game. While the plot lines for these locations are not directly part of the main storyline, they do link back into it. The oncoming threat is ever present.
