    I absolutely loved the game. Is by far one of my favourite games.

    I don't like that they are giving the game a darker tone, I agree that the first one was a bit too colourful but just because the story is dark doesn't mean the colours have to be dark. They should try at least to keep them close to something which seems realistic.

    Probably because a game like Mass Effect was primarily designed for the console. The control scheme and GUI suit the console and generally are more of a hinderance on the PC.

    bioware also said that the pc and console version will be made for each platform, so it won't play like console ports or pc ports. difference will probably be in graphics and ui.

    I thought Mass Effect turned out well for the PC. It was a little light, but I didn't mind. It lacked the longetivity we expect from an RPG, but still, I thought it was good.

    I've also found that its one of those games that grows on you. At first I was "meh" But now I've gone back to it a couple times and realized its really good. I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 2 :)
