Mass Effect Trilogy:

Ah yes, Mass Effect. This sci fi trilogy is one of the greatest game trilogies ever made. That's due to the awesome storyline, awesome gameplay, incredible voice acting, and choice making. So this is my review on the Mass Effect trilogy. Also I will list what choices i made as well.

WARNING: THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW. SO IF YOU ARE PLAYING ANY OF THE MASS EFFECT GAMES THEN DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW UNLESS YOU HAVE BEATEN ONE OF THE GAMES OR HAVE BEATEN ALL 3 OF THEM.

Mass Effect-
Now you play as the main character Commander Shepard who is in the Alliance and then you are sent on a recovery mission but it goes to total chaos as you find everything in ruins. You find a beacon that has been dug up recently and you have a vision burned into your brain after the beacon was accidentaly activated. Now you are trying to figure out what it means and to save the entire galaxy from total annihilation and extinction from a race called the Reapers. Now they never say his full name which is John Shepard for the male and Jane Shepard for the female, which is kind of weird, but i guess it's because you get to create your Shepard before you begin the game. But as soon as you get into the main game, you are in for a one hell of a game. You are treated to a very deep and incredible story where your choices can have dire consenquences. The gameplay works very well and is fluid. The graphics are abit out of date but it's an xbox game from 2007. But i have nothing against it at all, the graphics look good, it just has it's hiccups now and then. The one thing i don't like about the gameplay though are the elevators. They are so annoying as a replacement for loading screens. Glad they got rid of that in the later games. The voice acting is incredible. There was not one character who had a bad voice actor throughout the entire game. So basically overall this is the great start of an incredible sci fi trilogy.

Mass Effect 2-

People think that the 2nd act in the trilogy is the best one of them. I think it's an incredible 2nd act to this sci fi trilogy. Your character Commander Shepard dies in the very beginning of the game. So this game begins with one hell of a bang. Afterwards you are revived and meet some characters from the organization called "Cerberus" that focus on what's best for humanity. The mysterious and interesting leader of this organization called the Illusive Man is what the Alliance named him. You are sent to gather the best of experts in various fields for a suicide mission to stop the Collector's. These team members are total badasses especially one who is a powerful biotic, and a tough as nails bitch. She has the attitude of a total badass. And her name is Jack. Previous squadmates from the previous game sorry to say, don't join you because they are busy with other things. Garrus returns as a squadmate as well as Tali though, which the fans loved so much, me as well. But the catch to this suicide mission is that you need to be prepared. This means that you need to complete loyalty missions for your squadmates., which increases their survival of the mission and yours as well. If you don't do their loyalty missions then they are screwed and are kileld. You will also die as well. The other bad thing is that death is final, so you won't be able to bring your save data to ME3, which is pretty harsh in ways. The graphics has been upgraded big time. The character models look more fluid and well animated. The environments looks lovely as well. It has dark lighting to every cutscene which adds to the dark tone of the game. the voice acting is still incredible. Martin Sheen steals the show as the Illusive Man in every scene that he's in. The score for the game also has a dark tone to it, but sounds incredible even in the most dire situations in a battle. The gameplay plays very well. Instead of overheating weapons you use themal clips, which helps alot with your weapons compared to how you have to wait for your weapons in ME1 to cool down. The story in this is more darker then the previous game, and the choices you made in the previous game show in this one. Even the tiniest ones show as well. So basically this is a big upgrade to the first game, but not in a bad way. This 2nd act sets up the final act in a very grand way. They say it's a suicide mission, go prove them wrong.

Choices- All loyalty missions complete. Destroyed the Collector Base. Final squadmates for the last mission were Miranda and Thane.

Mass Effect 3-

This is it, everything that you have worked for sums up to this final moment The Reapers have taken Earth. And it's up to you to gather the forces of the other species in the galaxy to help in the fight against the Reapers. Basically shit has now hit the fan folks. You play as Commander Shepard again and you are sent to gather the support of the other species in the galaxy to take earth back and stop the reaper invasion on the entire galaxy. The gameplay has been updated again, this time there is no fatigue in running, so you can just keep on running for as long as you want. And as well as dodge rolling which can be helpful in a fight. The gun gameplay is still the same, but it still kicks alot of ass as it did in the last game. The weight system for the weapons is very interesting, but it was hard to decide on what to use for an entire mission so i just didn't bother with it. Having access to submachine guns is a nice touch as well. The graphics have been updated again and given a more gritty kind of look to them, but a very detailed look as well. There has not been a single time where i doubt the graphics of this game. And let's not forget about the voice acting. The voice acting is superb and they are at their best in voicing their character's Keith David voices David Anderson perfectly. And Mark Meer voices Shepard without any mistake in tone to his voice. This goes as well for everyone else in the game. There are also some new characters in the game like a cerberus assassin. And man he is a badass indeed. As with the other two games, your choices are carried over to this one. And they make a very huge different. So be prepared for some very hard choices to make folks. This is war, your choices can have very dire consenquences. The multiplayer is very addictive. I was wary at first if it would hinder the game experience, but once i tried it all my worries were put to rest. the multiplayer kicks ass, and helps alot in the main game with your ending. The score to this game is just phenomenal. Clint Mansell was a very nice touch to the emotional and engaging story, as well as the game. The other composers do one hell of a job as well. The soundtrack is perfectly well done. The story is just incredible. I don't have any words to say on how emotional and engaging the story to the final act of Mass Effect is. And as a whole too. And I liked the ending i got, it gave me a sense of accomplishment to what i have sacrificed to save everyone and what i have worked up to. This was an incredible way to end this trilogy on a very high and emotional note. Now let's go and Take Earth Back.

10 war assests our of 10.

Choices-Saved Rachni Queen from Reaper control. Thane Dies. Told Wrex and Mordin of the Sabatoge of The Shroud. Got both Quarians and Geth to join together. Miranda survives her attack from Kai Lang. Liara was the love intereest throughout the trilogy. Anderson dies. Chose the right (renegade) Destroy the Reapers and all synthetic life (including EDI and the Geth). Final squadmates for the last mission were Liara and James.

Conclusion: This trilogy has defined a gaming generation, not only in sci fi but as well as story telling in general. This trilogy has a deep and emotional story to it that will keep you hooked on it and never let go. But you shape how the tale of Commander Shepard begins and ends. The Mass Effect trilogy will be remembered for years. And hailed as one of the greatest video game trilogies of all time.
