MASS EFFECT - BEHIND THE SCENE

Mass Effect is an action role-playing game under development by BioWare exclusively for the Xbox 360. It is scheduled for release in the first half of 2007, and will be the first installment of a planned trilogy. The game takes place in the year 2183, with the player assuming the role of an elite human soldier named Commander Shepard. The story revolves around an ancient alien prophecy stating that, every fifty thousand years, machines come to the galaxy to harvest all organic life, and the time of their return is approaching. As the first human Spectre -- sworn defenders of galactic peace -- Shepard's mission is to halt the advancing armies of a legendary agent gone rogue. Shepard will lead an elite team across hostile alien worlds and discover that the true threat is far greater than anyone imagined.

Besides the plans for a trilogy, which Bioware claims "will cover the Xbox 360's five-plus year cycle," there are plans for episodic content to be uploaded to Xbox Live that fill in the story between each game, though are not essential for understanding the story of the other games

I agree, this game was incredible. I loved the story/graphics/combat/roleplay­ing. It was way too short though. The trailers made it seem like you could go to any planet and there would be things to do there that were interesting. This is not the case. Most planets on the galaxy map aren't even accessible, which was a huge disappointment. I just wish there would be more content to keep me interested in this phenomenal achievement.

Jade Empire was so cooool. I spent two whole weeks smashing up bad guys and Deaths Hand. Jade Empire was a intresting game, I only wish that they would have made Kotor 3 instead.

Fully agree with you. As fantastic as ME is, the side missions, while very fun, all became bland after a few drops. The environments were all varied and very interesting, but more structured environments and not just open terrain would have been fantastic.

I keep waiting for a level covered in forest with trees the size of skyscrapers, just to experience taking the Mako over roots the size of trucks. That would certainly add a whole new dimension, lol.
