Admittedly I like games like this (Oblivion) but its so well polished, graphics are amazing and best I have seen to date in a game. Game play is excellent with good RPG detail and story line but then when it gets to the action its very much like GRAW / GOW with the over the shoulder style shooting. Think I will be rinsing this one out for quite some time. Looks a bit complicated. Conversations and choices are easily done and you have a range of options to select from, so you can either be a proper cnut or a nice chap. Combat is very good in the game as mentioned its like GRAW / GOW when the shooting happens. You can explore planets, do side missions to the main quest. It dosnt push you down a set path wich is nice . Which means in the middle of a fire fight you can throw someone across the room or throw them up in the air (as well as doing lots of other stuff). For me its the ideal game a cross between GRAW and Oblivion. 
I'm not into these RPG games and have stayed away from Oblivion because I know it'll drain my life!
- not getting to be until 3am some nights! They are totally awesome though you can really loose yourself. I cant put Mass Effect down and I will revisit Oblivion at some point again!Why do they not have playable demo's of these sorts of games?
I've never played an RPG !matt_mr2t wrote:

(by doing side quests.) before i got to her so i die in about 3 seconds everytime.- as I have done alot of side missions and also I am playing on the hardest setting. It helps to have her Daughter with you as she has alot of powers. I also use Ashley as she is pretty good in general assult. Use you powers if you have them.Bender Unit wrote:I think when I went up against Benezia I was level 47
Best move is to move straight up the stairs, attack the first commandos, then kove across and back to the guys that rush in from the other end.
think ill have to reload and go back to the citadel for some side quests. Still no reason to start over, the game levels against you so she should be no harder at level 18 than she is at 37. Who are you using in your team? Liara is good and Ashley is also a good one. Make sure you upgrade your teams firepower, level their skills etc thngs like throw and lift are awesome ways of getting rin of enemys or just leaving them to late - toss them into the air, kill some others and then pick them off as they float about. I am playing through again on hardcore now 
.......6 hours in....love it!

Upgrading yourself? Doing that as I go! Wana work on the sniper upgrades but its the last one to work! - on my 3rd play through on Insanity.- also make sure you upgrade your teams weapons when you pick up spare decent weapons. - as she has strong biotics, and if you control her biotics (rather than allow the computer to do it) you can use her to really good affect - but weak weaponry. Plus she is an easy lay - but no biotics.- relativley weak weaponry but good biotics once leveled.- also has strong biotics so once they are leveled he can be really powerful.- high tech skill so gives you the ability to crack into protected crates, but Kadien also offers this and ismore equipped for battle.- is also a good all rounder.(usually works in all these sorts of games - Oblivion etc). Once I leveled the right skills / biotics I was pretty good in all fights. On my second play through I had leveled up alot, had very strong biotics and also had the spector weapons which had very high hit counts etc - but I cant use the auto rifle and sniper. Still nothing cooler than throwing the enemy across the room, off a cliff or just levitating them into space (do the levitate in the open - and just watch them fly - then plummet to the deaths) 
- also depending on what charaters you use you get differing stories - each charater has a side story which you can complete.
