First off people who are giving this game hard time because 'its KOTOR all over again' or 'its not a true RPG' clearly don't know a good game when they see one.

Bioware is a game company now owned by EA to make their RPG's some of Bioware's portfolio include KOTOR, ME, Neverwinter Nights and Jade Empire. Personally I have never played Jade Empire but am sure going by Bioware's background i dare say its good.

Most people who have played KOTOR will notice that it is very similar to ME this is true however don't judge ME it is a better game on so many levels.

Graphics- I like the graphics a lot very clean not over the top just right for a space game since there is a lot of metal, rock and water most of the textures do look the same that is to be expected. Most of the NPC's/aliens that you see on your travels through space are all lush having there own little quirks colors and designs, the Krogan IMO look the best Wrex's textures are really nice.

Most of the NPC's/aliens that you see on your travels through space are all lush having there own little quirks colors and designs, the Krogan IMO look the best Wrex's textures are really nice. Unlike KOTOR you characters face is FULLY customizable even down to scaring so you can really emurse yourself in the world of ME.

Sound- An excelent sound track good music to reflect scenes of romance, speed, suspense, action it has it all. Good voice acting each voice works well with everyone in the game. Seth Green plays Joker very well. a HUGE plus on KOTOR is you now talk! So no more stupid pauses in chat when it is your turn to speak now the character interaction is much better and fluid. One bad thing all the guns sound the same which is a shame but hay cant complain so do laser weapons from Star Wars.

Story- One of the best stories in game history period if this was a film it should get Oscars for the effort put into it. Role Playing is good as well most of the aspects have been taken from KOTOR like being able to go good or bad selecting certain dialog options to change the story. I bought this game purely the story and it was feel worth it. It rivals close to FF7 nice try Bioware but FF7 is still my fav.

Gameplay- Since playing KOTOR I thought it would be a mirror image of gameplay but I was wrong. For a third person over the shoulder it works very well, it uses the basic FPS controls (W,A,S,D and mouse) so nothing new minus the ability to jump! On the harder difficulties you do need to use the tactical combat to maximize your squad when you come under fire. The combat I find very good being able to duck down behind object the shoot over them telling your teammates to flank and hold their position while you advance its good and fun. Like most RPG's this has the good old leveling and talent system (sadly there is no way to improve this apart from WoW does it really well.) There are plenty of classes you can choose from to match most gamers play styles from the simple soldier to the tech mad engineers and powerful Biotic powers theres something for everyone.

So to finish off;

Graphics- Better then KOTOR
Sound- Better then KOTOR
Gameplay- Better then KOTOR
Its a better game KOTOR. I enjoyed it I hope everyone else who has a brain also enjoyed it, cant wait for ME2!
