The gamespot guy did like the combat.

ok he basically docked a point for vehicle combat and tech issues?

The Bad

* Vehicle navigation and combat are weak
* A bunch of annoying interface issues.

Pretty much, I think. Still seems like a low score.

I agree it is low for Mass Effect, for me its 10/10 but yeah i'm a LITTLE bit biased :), the general consensus of all the reviewers are is it's an AMAZING game and story that must be played and experienced by all.

lol PC world 6/10
that had better not go up on gamerankings
it shouldnt do since the xbox 360 isnt a pc, and thats a pc website
what a jealous and bitter twat whoever did the review
i bet he hasnt acttually played the game at all, just wishes it was on PC.
GRRR ppl like tht make me so angry, im sure no ones dumb enough to miss out on mass effect after reading the pc world thing though. hopefully...

Mass Effect is such a big title that a PC magazine/site felt compelled to review it...

You can almost hear the sobbing bitterness

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Mass Effect came to the PC. And I dunno.. maybe he really didn't like the game. A lot of Bioware's PC fan base prefers their older efforts over KOTOR as well.. but those games eventually got ported to windows (along with additional content).

And interface issues. He did say it's great though, which is hardly a "bad review."

Posté par Gamespot

The combat feels like it belongs in a third-person shooter at first, but if you continually approach it this way, you'll die. A lot. Like in many previous BioWare RPGs, you're meant to pause, survey the situation, and perform your actions. As long as you stick to that method, you'll find combat to be a lot easier than it first appears.

That part made me happy to hear. If you listen to Che's impressions he really does make it sound like GRAW, which was really, really turning me off. Yay.

Very true, many times in the beginning of the game i would run in and try to do a one man show, only to be taken out by some flanking enemies or a sniper!, now its pause and survey, then issue team attacks much like KOTOR accept you cant chain multiple attacks.

Not so far as I know.. but it seems like the natural next step. What starts on Xbox generally makes its way to Windows (with better graphics and more content ;)).

No they have said no such thing, but i'm sure in a few yrs time MS will want some more $$ from a PC version as well.

Plus, every Bioware Xbox game has been on PC as well. I hope it doesn't take a few years though. KOTOR was out for Windows within one year of its Xbox release, and Jade Empire within two. As big of a hit as ME is bound to be.. delaying it will just have a negative impact on potential PC sales.

But I don't really care. We get Dragon Age before that anyway.

Gameplayer.com - 10/10

Mass Effect is just the first chapter in an epic trilogy – the second and third games are promised by BioWare to hit the 360 sometime within the next five years. It’s a galaxy-spanning adventure that’s approachable for RPG-haters thanks to the fun of its combat while still appealing to RPG purists thanks to the dizzying level of customisation for your character’s personality, abilities and weaponry. Mass Effect is an RPG with certified mass appeal, and along with BioShock it’s one of the finest forms of pure escapism the videogame medium has served up in this console generation. Don’t miss it.

You have never heard of G4 or Gameplayer.com?

There getting listed in the NeoGaf and Bioware forum threads, i have never heard of most of them either, but that's because i only go to a few select gaming sites, not because they are not good or well known?.
