Mass Effect (Video Game)

Customer Review

Mass Effect was the game, an eternity on what I've been looking forward. Then it was finally here ... and disappointment can not conceal nich.

The game has really everything a good RPG needs a brilliant and very interesting game background, with a selbstgeschaffenden universe, a superb staging, a captivating story and profound characters ... currently, captivating story and profound characters? Unfortunately Ouch, no, that is not true.

Completely ünerklärlicherweise sluts godlike RPG developer BioWare in these 2 critical parts. The story in itself is due to an ingenious universe interesting to entrain be it is much too short, the main plot has almost outrageous for an RPG 10 hours playing time ... if you do not hurry. It works in hounded and provides good as no surprise. Suffer the characters. There are the typical BioWare multiple Chioce talks, but in a puny scope. The characters of his own crew remain quite simply floored for this reason, even the detachable characters are completely two-dimensional. There are 2-3 surprising moments in the game where a "Oha!" - Feeling comes to little with RPG masterpieces such as Kotor or Vampires compete Bloodlines and also less than storytechnischer- situational nature.

The rest of the game breaks the no longer out. The quests are mostly standard fare, boring. Especially the big geteaserten planet are a single joke! There is nothing to explore, but only slightly graze. At the latest after 1 hour in the universe we know as good as all Quest variations, that is not enough ... The scenes are pretty to look at, but there are also here a huge gripe: the game world is inanimate, there is only one real city. Even the now customary discretion in quests knows how to inspire and has little in the end (nice up to 1-2 exceptions) does not affect the game.

Conclusion:
+ Optics, the design of the world and characters is pretty. The Grafikfehler justifiable.
+ Universe very interesting, especially if you read the (average) book in advance.
+ The story is still better than 90% of other games, despite all the shortcomings
+ Cinematic slide

- Unfortunately too shallow characters
- Story completely predictable, despite the presentation that's not so exciting
- Game world to inanimate, no big cities, quests 0815th
- Too short, the guy you could cry ... not from emotion, but because of too early shock.

4 stars there anyway, while playing you can tell from the defects namely little. I've played through the game on vacation for 3 days ... which speaks for and unfortunately also to the game here. Only later did a really conscious and are the deficiencies before Mass Effect is a very good RPG, the best in a long time ... what indeed speaks for the game, but also to the genre, which is not designed for 3 years.
