Mass Effect is one of those iconic franchises that many of us remember playing. Mass Effect, it does such a good job of what it's trying to do from a sci fi perspective, that it is considered brilliance. It has a lot of different options that bring this game to life such as Commander Shepard. The character of Commander Shepard is iconic beyond anything we normally see in video games. It is the hero that saves the galaxy, much like a great Star Wars movie. Mass Effect brings that hero peace into the mold with Epic music and much more. When I look at the game Mass Effect I think of something that harkens back to everything I've ever loved and sci fi that really does mean a lot when you think about it, it is able to take on all those sci fi elements and create a series that is top notch. Mass Effect has a history behind it. It was made by the company Bioware Bioware is famous for making Dragon Age, and Jade Empire. When we first got Mass Effect It was the first next generation title. It came out on the Xbox 360. We knew we're in for something really good at the time. In fact, the graphics, still hold up today to a certain point on PC. While not perfect. The game blends a lot of different elements that allow for facial expressions. These facial expressions, create a superb dialogue system, you do not see in video games, often today. The combination of the dialogue system. And the adventure. The story tells brings this game to the next generation level. Now, it used to be next generation. And now it is considered older. However, the story elements from Mass Effect have been repackaged into other games, which goes to show you how influential. The series has been. When you see a character like Commander Shepard leading his ragtag band into the galaxy. Never knowing who you're going to meet along the way, who is going to join your crew. It adds a dynamic to the game, and is one of the reasons why they were able to make three games in the series. The formula fit well for the time. It was innovative and combined with those graphics led it to be a marketing success.
