REVIEW: Mass EffectNovember 25th, 2007Jason Glick |
Which developer made the best games on the original Xbox? For me, that’s a question with an easy answer. BioWare. The two games they made for that system,”Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” and “Jade Empire,” represent some of (if not “the”) best storytelling, writing, and voice acting of the last console generation. If you’re looking for pure action, then the “Halo” games have it beat; but, if you’re like me and you prize storytelling over action, then these games were as good as it got. So when their first Xbox 360 project was announced as “Mass Effect,” I knew that this would be a game worth getting.After playing it, I can say that it is.
