Mass Effect 3

Not everyone will survive. An ancient alien race, known only as "Reapers", has launched an all-out invasion leaving nothing but a trail of destruction in their wake. Earth has been taken, the galaxy is on the verge of total annihilation, and you are the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction. You are Commander Shepard, a character that you can forge in your own image. You determine how events will play out, which planets to explore, and whom to form alliances with as you rally a force to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all. How you wage this war is completely up to you: go into combat with guns blazing or use cover to plan a more tactical assault. Utilize your squad to full effect or take a lone wolf approach. Rain death from a distance or go toe - to-toe with enemies using devastating melee attacks. Mass Effect 3 will react to each decision you make as you play through a truly unique experience of your own creation.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
The game opens up in such catastrophic action that you're instantly drawn in for the rest of the game. The graphics are great as always in the Mass Effect games and adjustments to the gameplay make it the best combat style of the series. Emotions are driven wildly throughout the plot and uses of whatever choices you make in the previous games will ALL play out well for the story, whether they be good or bad. However, because the game is so exceptionally well made, the ending leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Given that it was supposed to be a "plot twist" it's really nothing more than an ending thrown at you that was completely irrelevant to the rest of the story. Bioware tried mending this issue by releasing a free DLC that allowed elaboration into the ending but the main theme is still there that angers fans: irrelevance. If it had proper ending, I would have given Mass Effect a 10/10, but because of poor writing at the most vital point in the story, it destroys everything the game originally stood for: the story of Shepard and the lengths he goes to ensure the destruction of the Reapers.

This game is one of the best I have ever played. I have not played the first or second but this one is cool. The graphics are better than modern warfare 3. The sound through turtlebeaches is the best sounding game I have ever heard. Anyone that game this game a 7 or lower dosent know what a good game is. The price makes it even more worth it. I highly recomend it.

I really loved this game as well as the first 2 and the DLC's along with them. The only problem was with it, for me anyway, was the ending and the ending only. It was practically the same ending just different color pulse from the Crucible. After the extended ending DLC, however, my view on the ending changed the extended version allowed you to see the repurcussions of you're actions. Although it may not have been the ending I would've liked, it was much better than the original

Mass Effect 3 is a very fun game the sounds are amazing the graphic... do not look good on xbox and ps3. Mass Effect 3 no longer really has that exploration feel like ME and ME2 there really are no areas like say Omega or other places to explore still an amazing game though.

Mass Effect 3 caught me by surprise. After playing Mass Effect 2 I thought that Bioware had reached the best it could do but this game proved they could o higher. Mass Effect 3 has improved combat, graphics, and in my opinion story. Many people say the ending left something to be desired but I thought it was good for what they were going for. Overall Mass Effect 3 is one of the best games I have ever played.

I love the Mass Effect series and this one is by far the best. I got this Mass Effect before I got 1 and 2, and when I got this one I instantly fell in love with it, I fell in love with it so much that I went and bought the 1st and 2nd Mass Effects the next day. I used to say Call of Duty was my favorite but now I say Mass Effect is my favorite. I recommend this game to gamers that like sci-fi games (Stars Wars, ect.) and gamers that like role-playing games (Skyrim, Far Cry, ect.) This is NOT some knock off of Star Wars, Mass Effect is its own game. I also recommend getting DLC for Mass Effect 3, it just adds on even more fun to an already great game.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Mass Effect 3 is one of those games that has great potential, epic story, great characters and a good idea for multiplayer but there is always something that holds a game back from complete greatness and with ME3 it's the multiplayer. The multiplayer is good for what it is, it feels like an updated version of Horde mode from Gears 3, fight waves of enemies while completing objectives. That would be great but the stiff horrible controls just ruin the experience, the controls are sluggish, and sometimes just non responsive. the enemies are nothing to laugh at but without smooth controls to keep the excitement going it feels like once you're in a tight spot (and you will be, especially on gold and platinum difficulty) you're gonna be blowing through you're medi-gels before you know it. Besides the small flaws ME3 is a great game that should not be missed by anyone who enjoys a game with a great story and great characters.

Let me 1st start of by saying that I don't write reviews, but this is a franchise that caught my attention. I started with ME2 and got hooked from then on. The story linked them between comics, graphic novels, and the games have faired to be one of the most epic story based games of all time.. While make it a story that everyone knows, Bio Ware does an outstanding job of making Commander Shepard and the fight he faces very individual amongst gamers. If your a fan of story based/choice based games than join the fuss over Mass Effect! It truly is an amazing game!

Well the graphics and sound are great. they gameplay has been improved a bit. But Bioware got too lazy working on the game the story has many flaws the ending is probably the worst thing about it. the romance was better in mass effect 2 and there are only 7 squadmates in total (one from dlc). mass effect 2 had 12 squadmates (2 from dlc). for the price of 20$ kinda worth it.

Whether your a fallower of Mass Effect or not, this is the best of them. Story is continued...and great! Dont need the extended cut if your a real ME fan. But it will add more answers. I know, ive played through 7 times now. Twice with the leviathan dlc...which is AWSOME...and gets better every time. I hope they make Another!!

Honestly, I don't really understand why everyone hated the ending as much as they did. I've played all 3 games, seen the ending of ME3, and not been frustrated enough to do anything about it. The developers made an amazing game, and people had to ruin the appeal by complaining about it. Still, my favorite game of the year so far.
