Mass Effect Reviewed

Seproth | October 09, 2007 | Reviews | XBOX 360

It's rumored that Game Informer has reviewed Mass Effect in the newest magazine. If this is true it got a 9.75/10. It specifies that there are no scans and this is an early version so it's not going out yet. It also says that it's from a very reliable source.

Alright, unfortunately, I don't have a link, or even a scan to share with you guys. So you're welcome to call BS on this if you want. I admit it's second hand information, but it comes from someone I consider very reliable.

They got the latest copy of Game Informer early, with a Mass Effect review.

Some gems from the review (paraphrased):

"Best science fiction story since Star Wars, and best story in a video game, ever"

"They said they actually felt a strong sense of guilt when they yelled at one of their crewmen and she got all watery-eyed and teary"

"They said the combat and AI can be a little clumsy and overwhelming, besides that it's the second coming"

Final score: 9.75/10

Like I said, you don't have to believe me, but you can see for yourself when the review is out.

Considering it's a forum post from a person who knows a person, I'm going to have to say false to this for the time being...

  The Bungie story, which was posted under similar circumstances was true, so it could be.

Well I hope it's 9.75/10 worthy. But BioShock got 9.5/10 in most reviews and I would give it a 7 tbh. But can't wait for this game tbh.

Forgot to say that I do hope this is true.

Weird that they would use the word "second coming" and only give a 9.75 though. They said the combat was a bit weird though too. So I guess that may be worth a few point deduction.
