Mass Effect (PlayStation Network) Review - Push Square

Push Square: "Launching five years after its original Xbox 360 debut, Mass Effect has finally landed on the PlayStation 3, completing the series' sci-fi trilogy on Sony's console. However, the title's late arrival places it in an awkward position, destined to be judged against the sequels it spawned. Has the classic aged gracefully? Not entirely."

"However, the title's late arrival places it in an awkward position, destined to be judged against the sequels it spawned. Has the classic aged gracefully? Not entirely.""

No, if its the exact same game, it should get the exact same score.

We don't live in a bubble, though. Times change.

Hicken4910d ago

What does that have to do with anything? ME1 is considered by many to be the best in the series, and it was released to rave reviews for its time.

Think of it this way: nobody retro reviews Super Mario Bros. by the standard of the new games. You review a game for what it is, not for what you wanted it to be, not for what other games are.

MizTv4910d ago

Well I have 20 hours in so far and it played great
Yes I have played it on pc and 360 and let me tell you the ps3 version in hands down better than the 360

Resistance_lord4910d ago

I agree with you Miz, Although I don't agree with your Wrestling style :P

shempo4909d ago

OFC its the best version,bioware said it,EA said it
ME1 ps3 version have ME2-3 kits unlike the xbox version and pc.

haters might hate but that doesnt change the fact that ME1 best version is on the ps3 end of story.

MizTv4910d ago

And the biggest thing is no screen tearing at all
If is some one days otherwise the are full of bs

JusticeDwarf4910d ago

I'm sure that you could compose a much better one, given your exemplar writing skills.

DigitalRaptor4910d ago

Hmmm, best game in the series, but get's a low score. How strange..

JusticeDwarf4910d ago

A 6/10 is not a low score. Anything below a 5 is.

DigitalRaptor4909d ago

Okay, but I meant that in relative terms. If the best in the series is a 6/10, what does that make ME2 and ME3?

JusticeDwarf4909d ago

As far as the reviewer is concerned, ME1 is not the best in the series. Saying it is is mere opinion, not universal for everyone.

It would be totally fair to give the sequels higher scores if the author deemed them worthy, since reviews are ultimately opinion pieces.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno194d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos194d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg194d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb194d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum194d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

ApocalypseShadow1090d ago

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1089d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1089d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
