Mass Effect 3

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Mass Effect 3" (2012) is a superb game for everyone who enjoyed the previous two installments. Maybe it is not as addictive as Mass Effect 2, but it is a superb game in every direction, with amazing story, great game play, great RPG elements ant etc. There are some issues with controls in close combat, but those are mind issues in comparison to a whole view - a SCI epic on biggest proportions. I do loved the original ending, never played alternative one.

Overall, "Mass Effect 3" is a great game and a great conclusion of a saga. There will be a new one, sure, but this installment is the culmination, and it is worth every minute of it.

After playing Mass Effect 2 and aching to import my character into Mass Effect 3, I played the demo and was blown away. I then read some reviews from fans before getting the game and some were disappointed and others thought it was great. So was time to make up my own mind and on first play through it was awesome and 17 hours in it is still to me awesome! This has got to be one of the best games every made IMO.

The level of detail and the great way you can import the game save from ME2 was astonishing, I cannot praise Bioware enough, sure it has a few flaws i.e. I don't like how you cannot "Drill down" into the missions and see more details like you could in ME2 and also how sometimes when going to cover you roll forward but aside from these little niggles it is an astonishing feat that surely must win game of the year!

Anyone who loves 3rd person shooters and RPGS will love this game! Buy it now!

Pros:

• Amazing story & characters
• Mostly better gameplay
• More enemy types
• Amazing voice acting
• Amazing music
• Good customisation
• Tons of weapons mods and upgrades
• Some impressive cinematic scenes
• A lot to do

Cons:

• Mapping roll with cover is clunky
• Messy objective list
• Some may be problematic with endings

Verdict: The third and final instalment was a fitting conclusion to the Mass Effect trilogy packed with emotion, high-stakes, action, and drama. Many have found the endings disappointing, however, I was mostly satisfied with it (I played the DLC EC btw). In some instances, ME3 did feel like ME2.5, as something that would have elevated this game could have been proper open-world areas to explore to feel more lively. But I was satisfied either way.

IMO ME2 is the best as it had the largest improvements overall. But ME3 is still great and a fitting end.

8.5 /10.

If you havent played yet I couldn't recommend it more. Great as a stand alone game or as the conclusion of the series.

Sure the original ending was a bit of a letdown but the rest is so flawless that it doesn't matter. So many great dramatic and action moments and Sheppard ( male, never played as the female ) is the greatest character of all. Incredible graphics and gameplay make this a winner all the way. Legendary edition is even better.
