	zzamaro posted 17/03/2011, 04:50 probably the best 360 game out there, too bad not many people can play this game, well, since it's not an FPS, you expect to have cod numbers Message \| Report
	armchair_cynic posted 13/03/2011, 10:50 All in all, despite its flawed, by far the better game of the two Mass Effects. The shooter mechanics may have been weak, but at least the rest of the game wasnt sacrificed to make them better. Which is more than can be said of ME2, and its linear, boxed filled shooting gallery mission world. Message \| Report

	Strategyking92 posted 16/05/2010, 06:32 I would reccommend buying a platinum hits version or the PC version rather than an old used copy of ME, since you get the add-ons with them for free. They aren't half bad. Bring down the sky even carrys over into the sequel. Message \| Report

	MonstaMack posted 12/02/2010, 03:53 You can now also download this game via XBox Live digitally for $19.99, while the same price as a Platnium Hits version It's not worth it (You get a free Premium Theme and Bring Down the Sky and the soundtrack on the PH version) but I'm assuming they'll sell several more thousand via download. I mean, if the download games weren't a success we would see a lot less. But it seems MS is bringing out one game a week. With the release ME2 sales should spike a bit. No reason why this can't 2.5 million in the long run. Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 24/01/2010, 02:52 @ gustave154 2 million is a respectable number considering the typical sales of this genre. Bear in mind this is more RPG than shooter. But rest assured Mass Effect 2 sales will be even bigger. I'm guessing first week will be 800K. Message \| Report

	Mutiverse37 posted 11/01/2010, 06:03 This game is the reason I purchased an Xbox 360 back when it came out. There were other good games, but ME was the deciding factor for me. It was and is awesome! I can't wait for January 26. The Japanese gamers sure 'allowed themselves' to 'miss out' on an awesome story though huh. Message \| Report
	massiso posted 07/01/2010, 05:02 This was the reason why I just bought a 360, I have been reading about it for a long time and I'm glad I got it, awesome RPG and the music totally emerges you right into the story. Sort of like blade runner. :) Message \| Report

	Sanzee posted 07/12/2009, 06:36 I'm happy to finally see Mass Effect has gained a somewhat larger following due to the anticipation surrounding Mass Effect 2's release. However, there are few fans out there who've been with Mass Effect since the day it was released, and even the months leading up to that. I don't like to brag, so I won't. Instead, I'll be honest. This is the greatest game I've ever played. Nothing has immersed me and moved me so greatly in all aspects of human emotion and mental connection as Mass Effect. I've been with it from the beginning and so I'm going to be honest with you... Bioware is God. Mass Effect is Jesus Christ. And Commander Shepard is his apostle. Do not bear this title so willingly unless you've recieved the complete Mass Effect experience. I hope that ME2 moves mountains, both in sales and in design quality. And I know it will. But like the first game, I fear most people will take this game too lightly. All I want is ME2 to get the praise it deserves. Support Bioware and Mass Effect always. They've never let us down.

	loves2splooge posted 28/11/2009, 04:08 I'm going to be getting this in the near future. After seeing the ME2 specs and determining that it'll probably run like crap on my laptop since I only have a 256 MB video card (bare minimum spec requirement), I figure I might as well buy ME1 for 360 as well since you get to import your ME1 save to ME2. My original plan was to get ME1 for the PC (I didn't have an Xbox last gen so I played KOTOR on PC and loved it) but the ME2 issue has changed things. I'll have to get Dragon Age for 360 as well since it's also likely to run like crap on my laptop. Thank heavens that PC game manufacturers actually make games for consoles these days. Back in the day when I didn't have the specs to play a PC game, I was pretty much screwed since most high-profile PC games back then were personal computer exclusive. Have they patched up the technical issues on the 360? I heard that if you install to the HDD (which I always do), the 360 performance is fine. Message \| Report
	donsterydo2 posted 18/11/2009, 03:45 I don't understand why the hell it's only 650k in others, people say that US is FPS oriented, hell no. Games like this and Dragon Age show that the only games that sell very good in EU are clones of Fifa... Message \| Report
	donsterydo2 posted 18/11/2009, 03:42 Great game, but has some technical issues. I hope ME2 makes it to the 3m in the same time period. Message \| Report
	drakesfortune posted 13/11/2009, 05:42 @Vangaurd, I agree it's a superb game, but you have to admit that from a technical standpoint, the game is a complete mess. Massive chugging, poor framerate, texture pop in, bugs, and so on. They really needed to spend more time polishing the game. It is still a superb game. I'd give it a 9/10 or so, but the presentation deserves to knock it down a lot. Message \| Report

And don't tell me you have a 360 too. In all truth though, this game is fantastic. Bioware kicked ass. As for our PS3 friend, I'm not sure if his comment is funny or just sad. Message \| Report

You've never said anything but crap when in reference to a 360 game and throw a fit when they're successful and sell well. This game was awesome and fun as hell. Graphics, story, game-play were all top notch. Only problem was how textures (character models, environments, etc) took a while to load when entering a new area (happens occasionally). Message \| Report
	De85 posted 20/08/2008, 12:39 @ Gearbox moving 1 single slider in the character customization won't change much, and there are forums of people who do celebrity look-alikes who would disagree with you. I only have 30 hours in 1.5 playthroughs so far, but this is a game I can see myself coming back to over and over again. I will get 1050/1050 eventually. Message \| Report

	MonstaMack posted 12/02/2010, 03:53 You can now also download this game via XBox Live digitally for $19.99, while the same price as a Platnium Hits version It's not worth it (You get a free Premium Theme and Bring Down the Sky and the soundtrack on the PH version) but I'm assuming they'll sell several more thousand via download. I mean, if the download games weren't a success we would see a lot less. But it seems MS is bringing out one game a week. With the release ME2 sales should spike a bit. No reason why this can't 2.5 million in the long run. Message \| Report
	Boneitis posted 24/01/2010, 02:52 @ gustave154 2 million is a respectable number considering the typical sales of this genre. Bear in mind this is more RPG than shooter. But rest assured Mass Effect 2 sales will be even bigger. I'm guessing first week will be 800K. Message \| Report

	Mutiverse37 posted 11/01/2010, 06:03 This game is the reason I purchased an Xbox 360 back when it came out. There were other good games, but ME was the deciding factor for me. It was and is awesome! I can't wait for January 26. The Japanese gamers sure 'allowed themselves' to 'miss out' on an awesome story though huh. Message \| Report
	massiso posted 07/01/2010, 05:02 This was the reason why I just bought a 360, I have been reading about it for a long time and I'm glad I got it, awesome RPG and the music totally emerges you right into the story. Sort of like blade runner. :) Message \| Report

	Sanzee posted 07/12/2009, 06:36 I'm happy to finally see Mass Effect has gained a somewhat larger following due to the anticipation surrounding Mass Effect 2's release. However, there are few fans out there who've been with Mass Effect since the day it was released, and even the months leading up to that. I don't like to brag, so I won't. Instead, I'll be honest. This is the greatest game I've ever played. Nothing has immersed me and moved me so greatly in all aspects of human emotion and mental connection as Mass Effect. I've been with it from the beginning and so I'm going to be honest with you... Bioware is God. Mass Effect is Jesus Christ. And Commander Shepard is his apostle. Do not bear this title so willingly unless you've recieved the complete Mass Effect experience. I hope that ME2 moves mountains, both in sales and in design quality. And I know it will. But like the first game, I fear most people will take this game too lightly. All I want is ME2 to get the praise it deserves. Support Bioware and Mass Effect always. They've never let us down.

	loves2splooge posted 28/11/2009, 04:08 I'm going to be getting this in the near future. After seeing the ME2 specs and determining that it'll probably run like crap on my laptop since I only have a 256 MB video card (bare minimum spec requirement), I figure I might as well buy ME1 for 360 as well since you get to import your ME1 save to ME2. My original plan was to get ME1 for the PC (I didn't have an Xbox last gen so I played KOTOR on PC and loved it) but the ME2 issue has changed things. I'll have to get Dragon Age for 360 as well since it's also likely to run like crap on my laptop. Thank heavens that PC game manufacturers actually make games for consoles these days. Back in the day when I didn't have the specs to play a PC game, I was pretty much screwed since most high-profile PC games back then were personal computer exclusive. Have they patched up the technical issues on the 360? I heard that if you install to the HDD (which I always do), the 360 performance is fine. Message \| Report
	donsterydo2 posted 18/11/2009, 03:45 I don't understand why the hell it's only 650k in others, people say that US is FPS oriented, hell no. Games like this and Dragon Age show that the only games that sell very good in EU are clones of Fifa... Message \| Report

	drakesfortune posted 13/11/2009, 05:42 @Vangaurd, I agree it's a superb game, but you have to admit that from a technical standpoint, the game is a complete mess. Massive chugging, poor framerate, texture pop in, bugs, and so on. They really needed to spend more time polishing the game. It is still a superb game. I'd give it a 9/10 or so, but the presentation deserves to knock it down a lot. Message \| Report
