Electronic Theatre's editor delivers an analysis of his playtime with the first Mass Effect title as the sequel, Mass Effect 2, arrives at retail stores around the world.

With the second part of BioWare’s phenomenally popular Science-Fiction trilogy arriving in North America, Europe and Australia at various points throughout this week, I thought it was high time I took a look back at the original title, refreshing the game in my mind and beefing-up my character ready for transfer into Mass Effect 2. With Electronic Theatre’s review copy of Mass Effect 2 arriving imminently, this left me precious little time to successfully finish the story, but having already been through the game twice I thought it would be a relatively approachable task, even on the Hardcore difficulty setting, giving myself an entire weekend.
