never played the first one... any good?
*BONK*
(that was the noise of my jaw hitting the floor)
Dude... the game spoiled me as it was the first game I played on the 360 pretty much. The digital actors are the best I've seen ANYWHERE and this includes animated movies that have shown at the movies. The expressions on their faces are AMAZING.
You know I don't like 3rd person games but this game has the camera prettty much perfect (this is not to say it IS perfect as it does fall down in places). It's just great fun and your choices actually do affect the storyline somewhat. And what a storyline too... best story in a RPG that I've come across so far (and that includes Fallout 3). Fallout 3 is definately bigger and more open but Mass Effects graphics blow Fallout 3 away with a multi-nuke.
I won't say anything more other than say GET IT... You will not be dissapointed.
