Overhyped -- Short
The big reviews said this was the best game ever. I should have known better.
The game is ok, much like any console game in terms of controls and features, but the game is short and too linear. I got to the endgame in a little over 10 hours of play.
There are a number of side missions that have no meaning, collecting stuff didn't seem to have much of an effect, nor did experience other than providing more hit points.
Maybe I missed too much by following the mission, I don't know.
I agree that the story is better than most, but in the end I thought, is this all there is?
I'm trying to think of something truly unique and positive to say about this game but nothing seems to come to mind. It was fun, but not enough to merit the high praise it has received.
It is an ok game, but very much over-hyped.

Massively Effective
This game is absolutely mind blowingly great. First, it actually takes a whole play through to kind of figure things out...making at least one replay a real possibility. Secondly, the story is really, really good. Your decisions actually change the outcome of the game and there are consequences and it is almost never obvious what the right choice is going to be. Sometimes the choice is permanent, too. I tried changing the final out come by replaying the ending and I got my first ending again. That character is locked into that story line for Mass Effect 2.
Also let me say the Xbox achievement system is awesome here. Played 20 hours the first time through and only racked up about 500 points. Meaning, I missed stuff :) Sure some of them are replay type of achievements but some of them are not.
A great, great game. I'd recommend playing as a female as that actor's voice work is very strong.

Great Game
If you are looking for a game with a great story line, go with this.
Even for beginners, as I am, this game has great game play and even better replay value. This is an amazing game for Veteran players, as I've heard.
