Mass Effect

So I got Mass Effect the day it came out however I was a little worried about playing it because it is somewhat of an RPG and I hate them with a passion with the exception of KOTR. But I decided what the hell and went and played it. Hours of my life went down the drain however I really liked the story and the gameplay was incredible. The RPG element was there but it doesn't play as much of a part in the game as I had previously thought. I also liked that there aren't a lot of load screens and the few that are there are really short. So I personally enjoyed the game and was wondering what other people thought?

The only thing that get somewhat annoying is sometimes it takes some time to load all the textures so things appear how they should (happens on other games too so i'm not sure if it's just my 360 or what. I'm planning to take it back anyway because it freezes every now and then which I find unacceptable for a console)

yeh my regular xbox did the same thing with halo 2 the scene would load then the textures would clear up after a few moments.

I like driving the vehicle around but it is hard to control sometimes.
the mini games are kinda shitty(with the button presses) but from what I'm seeing on the bioware forums theres alot more story then there is fighting but still I agree its a great game.
