Mass Effect - Is It Really Worth Our Time?

Mass Effect is considered one of the greatest games ever created. It has a little a bit of everything. It is not a genuine first person or third person shooter and it is definitely authentic a role playing game. But the good thing is you will find both genres combined. If you are a strict hardcore fps or rpg player then maybe it will disappoint you (though I doubt it). It is not an original idea we have seen it before in other games and we will see that happening in the future (combining two or even more genres).

Like already said this game has a little bit of everything. Shooting, actually it has tons of it, skill trees, not very sophisticated, mini puzzle games, driving a six wheel tank when you are exploring the planets and other cool stuff. That covers the genres you will find in this game.

Now if you like real deep complicated stories then this will be a treat for you. Some people say that the success of the Mass Effect series is based on its story. I will add its story was one of the things responsible for its success. What you will find you may ask. You will get involved in politics and of course bureaucracy, military operations, police investigations, criminal activities, you will get the attention of the press with your actions, you can be part of secretive organizations, you can gamble in the casinos, you can dance and have some drinks in the bars and club or you can even have a lap dance by beautiful asarri and last but not least you will even get involved in romances. Furthermore you will have to make decisions from time to time which will affect the lives of your comrades and crew members or the lives of trillions citizens of the whole galactic alliance. That means your decisions affect the whole story of the game.

You will make friends by helping them when in need and even more enemies when you will destroy their plans. You can be the bad guy or play the role of the good guy. Sometimes it pays better (by getting more information or rewards etc) by being a good guy and and other times you will be more effective and things will be done easier and faster by being bad. It is totally up to you one way or another you will finish the game that is for sure.

You will meet a dozen or even more of alien races gathered in the Citadel which is the centre of the galactic alliance or scattered everywhere in the Mass Effect universe. Every race has its own culture. They all have different appearance, language, habits, history, customs, religion and whatever else you can think of. And everything is available to you for study. You aren't going to right any test of something but it makes the game more interesting, deep and you understand why and how things work the way they do.

Now let me repeat the the first question? After reading the whole article does it really worth our time playing this game? Short answer is definitely yes. Longer answer is that Mass Effect is a lifetime experience and everybody at least every gamer should have a piece of it. Now if you want to learn even more, watch some videos, photos and wallpapers then I suggest you should read a Mass Effect review. This will kick all the doubts out of your mind.
