Mass Effect is a video game series that has been rewarded with both critical acclaim and a good following. The science fiction RPG is developed by Bioware. The original game was released for the PC and the Xbox 360 while starting from Mass Effect 2, the franchise titles have been made available to the PS3 as well. The first title in the trilogy sees main protagonist Commander Shepard fighting against the Reapers, which are mechanical beings of an alien race that seeks to take over the galaxy. He/she has to face Sovereign, a Reaper that serves as a vanguard.
The second title’s events happen a couple of years later. This time around, Shepard is fighting against the Collectors, which are of an alien race that abducts whole colonies of humans. The Collectors are trying to help the Reapers to get back to the Milky Way. The third title, which is also the last in the trilogy, will be focused on Shepard’s final stand against the original enemies, the Reapers.
Mass Effect has been able to combine a great storyline with excellent visuals. The storyline is able to take full advantage of well-rendered characters, their romances, diversity and the results of their choices. The voice acting is also handled well, provided by a group of talented and well-known actors. With such a well-crafted virtual world, some gamers may feel as if they have been exploring it for decades despite the fact that the franchise only consists of three titles, with the last one yet to be released.
