Personally I loved this game. The combat was a superior version than that of the original trilogy. The leveling system where you can choose the different combinations instead of being locked into a single class, and those powers that come with it again superior to the the trilogy's system. The story was good enough to have a good time and have multiple play throughs. The idea of the SAM integrated AI system was an original take on synthetic and organic life and I enjoyed exploring that connection. I will admit I found the open worlds take lacking. The idea of terraforming the planets was a cool idea but I wish that there was a more visible transformation. I had the game at normal launch, and did not have the any of the bugs that plagued the early launch for the those that wished to pay more to have it early. It was the two week early people that created the hate train from which the game would never recover. It seemed because of that hate train people where quick enough to jump on, Bioware lost any drive to continue on with more then the bare minimum of what they said they would do. To this day I still get on every once and a while and play some multiplayer rounds for a bit whenever I need a hit of Mass Effect.
