Mass Effect (computer game)

Customer Review

After some time I thought of this game again and installed it on my new laptop, previously it was still running on Windows Vista. With a patch, it was then also under Windows. 7

In short, it is in Mass Effect, an action role-playing game that takes place in a fictional future. It belongs to the Alliance and just have to say an artificial machine race to oppose the destruction of is on. You're dealing with different missions on each planet, you can also explore some of these planets with a vehicle. You start on the Alliance starship Normandy and becomes a briefing in the communication space ordered from where the history, then start with a salvage job on the planet Eden Prime takes its course. The RPG is in proportion debut most pronounced what already therefore still makes him for me personally but for the best part of the trilogy. The second part, and especially the last would have been much more action-packed and on the mass of. Surely you have some improvement in part 2 but the results so often in logic, some one goes up at the second attempt to better.

But now for the first Mass Effect. The strong aura of this extraordinary game I can evade me hard personally, I do always comes back to mind. Overall, I have been completely played out at the 6-7 times. With all the different classes, with me as the expert (Biotikspezialist) Infiltrator (fight / technology) and the Guardian pledged (biotic / technology) the most. The front-line soldiers (fighting / technology) also had its charm, although I just this class you thinking here of the assault, the second part liked better. The technicians and the soldiers I found not really interesting as they align themselves more on a specialty, just technology or fight. The bottom line is that if I again from the beginning then start ever to the end game, which is not probably the case for each, no matter how good the game. Quite similar to the one just always like to look at a very good movie. The just in Mass Effect I participate this exceptionally strong feeling in a movie than in any video game before, and so far not even then. The game benefits just downright most of this feeling in the middle and the grandiose presentation.

However, other aspects of the game are very well done such. As the story progress is really interesting and captivates immensely. The background music really awesome when I with the starship Normandy, the Citadel, a huge space station, had approached I was given the wonderful background music a real elation and was downright inspired a great adventure to have in front of me. Even after multiple playthrough I felt at this point over and over again the same feeling, like you just in a sad place in a movie again and again can tile a tear. It is these aspects are particularly important to me. Continue to be the very nice, even today voiced graphics and especially the outstanding facial expressions of the characters in the foreground, here it shows very clearly the attention to detail. At the stand in the talks several answers available just neutral, cautious or aggressive, which indeed contribute to a high replayability value. Incidentally, I did not make the mistake here and playing this dialogue series changed immediately, but only once. In a new beginning of the game A note to the graphic, you read here frequently of poor partly on outdated graphics, I can underline any way. I personally like the graphics style, of course, well noticed at the highest settings, better here as in the subsequent parts. Although this is much more detailed, especially armor and see background textures as class, but the actual style as well as the natural facial expressions like me better in Part 1. In Part 2, the faces seem to me sometimes too artificial. In addition, the team members have to always have the same uniform, more variety was there in part 1 offer. What good are beautiful as armor textures if there is only to marvel at the same, or the armor seems to be totally inappropriate in some missions.

The game mechanics after a short break-in period also slightly out of hand, so you can definitely behind crates etc. from behind cover opponents take under fire or also use different Biotic abilities to attack, depending on the character class. It is this I found class staged, it's fun for an opponent. B. by biotics to lift and then with a targeted Warpangriff to put him the coup de grace. Or even better to combine the forces of the respective colleagues on a particular opponent. You can also give the squad some commands, such as attack, move to a certain point, or hold position, thus taking opponents under crossfire. Is it something you can overwhelmed by spacebar to freeze the image, so you can now proceed calmly and deliberately, so the whole thing is also enriched with a tactical touch. This works up to a few exceptions really good. Here arise up countless opportunities for attack which provide brilliant fun, they are in the higher difficulty levels sorely needed. The different skills you can selectively expand over time, with the upgrade of this is even made automatically when the team members, I have always created yourself hand. Moreover, the weapons with various types of ammunition can be equipped such. B. Kyro- fire explosive or armor-piercing projectiles. But you can also be provided with special Waffenmods, z. B. rear shock absorbers, heat sink, struggle scanner or improved visors that will improve largely sensible certain aspects of a weapon more or less.

Finally, a game in which I also all the characters over time, more and more grown out his heart and thus I hoped some or most all again in Part 2. Commander Shepard was me actually sympathetic to from the beginning, regardless of need, man or woman, but admit that I usually beautiful women have done in creating the character, why this may lie well? There are hardly negative, only the side missions on the various planets are something to equal and flat over time. The Citadel but much spacious and well designed loving than the successor. This however, scores highest with a more varied side orders. Positive turn in Part 1, the Geth as the main opponents I found class and Saren awesome as villain the character.

Conclusion: Overall, a very atmospheric and visually pleasing science fiction action-RPG, combined with grandiose and action-packed gameplay, which comes in the first work almost nearly perfect and with kineastischer presentation and loving character and has nothing really lost any of its fascination.
