Mass Effect Reviews

A couple of new reviews for the Xbox 360 version of BioWare’s Mass Effect have made their way to the web. The first is at NTSC-uk with an overall score of 8/10:

Mass Effect has the yearnings to be an epic and it almost achieves it. This universe is teaming with life and experiences, all with a clear and well fleshed out history. Whilst the main story arc can seem a little short, and the side quests a touch repetitive, there is room for several play-throughs. With Mass Effect, BioWare has managed to reach into the player’s heart and mind and put them firmly in the commander’s shoes; you are Shepard and the fate of the universe is in your hands.

And the other is at Gameinfowire.com with an overall score of 9.0/10:

If you like RPGs and are not allergic to science fiction, you’ll want to try “Mass Effect.” It’s one of the most impressive console RPGs ever created. Since it’s the first part of a trilogy, too, there’s a lot more fun to come.
