Mass Effect 3 Review

The Game which people had been saving their hard earned money and had been on people mind since the game was shown on E3 2011 at Los Angeles, is finally here after a heavy promotion by EA. The Promotion was soo big that the publisher actually put the game disc in space (yeah! you heard it right! In Actual Space). But Forget all about these or that, Commander Shepard is back one last time to kick Reaper's Ass and gave a sheer conclusion to the epic story.

I am happy to announced that MASS EFFECT 3 live up to its hype and bring a real bang for your bucks. Everyone, whether you are Mass Effect fan or not, should check out this incredible game. I have to say that it finally is in par with my personal Favourite best Storyline game, Halo: Combat Evolved release in 2001. A Big head ups to BIOWARE (the developer) for its storyline.

Tali: Why is Shepard so badass? Thane: That's what the
game made him. If in real life, he will be just a brainless doughbag. 

STORY: The Story revolved around a human named Commander Shepard and he have to go around the Galaxy gathering aliens around the galaxy to fight collectively to save Earth from the Reaper, a group of aliens who was thought to be extinct in the year 2061. They have more advanced weapons and technology than any types of aliens including the humans. The plot may have look like a typical space story but if you play the game, it is unique in many ways. Thought I was not really happy with the way the story ends and can't understand properly what the game was trying to indicate, the storyline which lead up to that time is an epic adventure of its own. (9.5/10)

GRAPHICS: It has been scaled up from Mass Effect 2. The texture look crispier, the explosion/ gunfight looks real enough and it damn look gorgeous. There was a time when you look at the mass scale of the reaper attacking the earth and damn, it doesn't get better than this. Character modelling is an eye-candy from the krogan (Aliens) to the Space Ships to the interior of a room. It signify Heaven. (10/10)

Have a sword up your sleeve.

GAMEPLAY: This is an important component of the game. The Game is an RPG cover-based shooter and BIOWARE had  blent it in both in a nice fashion. You can carry 5 weapons at a time and the variety and quantity is sufficent and plenty. Moreover unlike the previous franchise, you can customize your weapon with add-on weapon accessories just like in Battlefield 3 multiplayer. In combat, you can use your biotic powers and your other abilities. They don't inflict serious damage but they do help a lot in distracting enemies. As you progress, the lotsa Powerful enemies pop-up and your abilities power help a lot in those kinda situation. Your team mates help a lot in combat. Thought they are not that badass as you, they will save your ass many times. As you got coins, you can buy variety of weapons and armors. No, you cannot buy Batman Armour. Another addition to the game is the use of the shiny techno sword. Believe me, this sword can save your sorry butt when you ran out of ammo. And your choices will lead to either boon or a curse to your teammates. Choose Well! Overall, Gameplay is blent well. (10/10)

Dude, You hit me in my balls.

MULTIPLAYER: It is a Co-op style multiplayer and it is just like hoard mode in Gears of War. You and 3 of your friends take on Wave and Wave of Enemies with increasing difficulty. You and your friends can take diffrent types of players like asari, human etc and types of abilities like engineer, soldier etc. At first, it was fun and it become increasing boring. Most of the time, me and my friends survived till wave 8. But this multiplayer brings a bang for your bucks.(8/10)

What a couple!

SOUND: The Background score play with your emotion a lot. (No, I did not Cry! The Handkerchief was wet cause it feel into the bucket.)  And the death of team-mates doesn't help either. You will have such an attachment to your team mates and the music behind helps a lot. But it doesn't help so much in the battlefield like Halo did. Overall, Sound was good. (9/10)

                                          (Here is a Taste of the soundtrack of Mass Effect 3)  


OTHER: One Annoying feature of this game is when you are doing some side-mission other than finding people, it is hell of difficult to find the thing they want without giving indication of where the item lie. I want BIOWARE to correct this through a patch.

OVERALL: This Game can be easily be the GAME OF THE YEAR 2012. But some small probs prevent it from becoming a MASTERPIECE just like Elder Scroll: Skyrim.

                                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                               
TOTAL RATING:-(9.5/10)
