Mass Effect Reviews

A couple more enthusiastic reviews of BioWare’s Mass Effect kick off the new weekend. The first is at Ace Gamez with a perfect score of 10/10:

Mass Effect certainly has a few flaws, but it’s easily the most enthralling space adventure that’s ever been created for a video game platform. It honestly makes the Halo narrative look like amateur hour! Much of the credit goes to a writing staff that has created this stunning game world with nothing more than pure imagination. While Mass Effect isn’t a revolutionary step for Bioware, it’s certainly evolutionary. Combining the elements that made KOTOR so entertaining with a combat system that’s much more accessible for the teeming masses of shooter fans, the end result is a highly successful experience that almost every type of gamer should absolutely love – it’s already become one of my favorite games of all-time! Mass Effect really deserves to hit the top of the bestsellers list this holiday season and every Xbox 360 owner needs to check it out now, or they’ll be missing out on one of the most amazing gaming experiences currently available on any system.

And the other is at NZGamer with an overall score of 8.5/10:

Take 1 cup of Star Wars, blend in 2 tablespoons of Firefly and mix thoroughly. Mass Effect might not create as much of a stir as KOTOR did, but it’s an undeniably good game that manages to showcase the incredible talent and dedication of the BioWare team.
