I'm enjoying it so far, I'll post more tonight. I'll actually get to play some. Better "review" tonight.

This game is awesome. Played it through many times on my 360, and it's probably just as good on the PC. The first hour or so might be rocky before you get the hang of leveling your character and managing the squad.

I have both pc and 360 versions and while the graphics are very close i prefer the pc version just for the control layout,it's much easier in combat.

Here's all I'm going to recommend: when you start out with a L1 character, crank the difficulty way the hell up. It'll make the game far more interesting. I did it with my L50.. and WOW it's tough.

Ok I can safely say this game is worth the purchase. The game feels so epic in scale and cinematic. Great story so far, and the depth is great.

I should note that there is an SLI bug when you are in doors. Frame rates take a nose dive, but if SLI is disabled it works fine. Also I think there is a work around by renaming the game.

I'm about 3 hours game time into the game and so far I love it! I haevn't gotten so quickly immersed into an rpg(ish) since KOTOR - coincidence?

I'm intrigued to be honest. I would like to see if you could get a few more SShots!

I thought mass effect had some sort of 3 strikes and your out activation feature, like changing your video card made the game have to activate again. Oh I see they took that have to be connected to the internet every 10 days BS.

There's ways around that; I purchased the game but I use a patched execute that bypasses activation and connecting to servers upon startup.
