Mass Effect is a science fiction action-RPG created by BioWare Corp., the commercially and critically acclaimed RPG developer of "Jade Empire," "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic," "Neverwinter Nights," and the "Baldur's Gate" series. "Mass Effect" will deliver an immersive story driven gameplay experience with stunning visual fidelity.
Optimized for the Xbox, Mass Effect incorporates the following features:
• High resolution visuals - Mass Effect for the PC features highly detailed textures, characters and environments.
• New squad control interface - Players can now issue commands to individual squad members, providing a new level of depth to the tactical combat.
• Hot-key functionality - Biotic powers and abilities can be mapped to individual keys, allowing a faster "run and gun" style of gameplay.
• Re-designed Mako controls - Players can explore alien planets and engage in vehicular combat with an intuitive and fully camera independent control system for the Mako, their all-terrain vehicle.
• Quick-save - New quick-save button and increased number of save slots.
• New decryption mini-game - A new decryption mini-game invites players to test their skills as they avoid obstacles and move their icon to the center of the digital mechanism.
• New inventory screen GUI and functionality - The enhanced inventory system makes it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armor.
As the first human Specter - sworn defenders of galactic peace - your mission is to halt the advancing armies of a legendary agent gone rogue. But as you lead your elite team across hostile alien worlds, you will discover the true threat is far greater than anyone imagined.

Set 200 years in the future, Mass Effect places you in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. Mass Effect challenges you to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land.
This is a good game that brilliantly melds together that melds the storyline and character development of a role-playing game with the bullets-flying action of a squad-based shooter. It's one part talking to the good aliens, two parts blasting big, gooey holes in the bad ones, and one part monster trucking over distant planets in your six-wheeled, cannon-turreted space buggy. So a great combination for the average gamer.
This is a game that ticks all the right boxes, as evident when you see fans reactions to the game. With great design, great storyline, voice acting and scale alone... This is well worth the play if this sort of game is your thing.
