Its a great game but it kinda plays choppy sometimes. I mean the framerate slows down and it appears to skip.

In retrospective, this game is pretty awesome. However, the side-quests are trash as there's really no point in doing them except to gain more experience. They are pretty much the equivalent of walking around and waiting for a random battle for an hour in more traditional RPGs.

Fun game, but I wouldn't quite call it an RPG. I think it's more along the lines of a...

Choose your Own Adventure 3rd Person Shooter!

It kept my interest for a couple of days, but with the constant "Disc Read Error" and "Unreadable Disc Error" problems I got frustrated and stopped playing.

Create your own character similiar to the Phantasy Star Universe games, and supposedly has various endings, different plot lines, giving the game heavy replay value. Also the game having complete audio dialog was a change. Very interactive game, but I still don't think it's an RPG.

By all means, it does everything any Action RPG does (battles are stats driven, even though they are twitchy).

So I just read about the DLC coming next month for Mass Effect, and how you have to be at a certain point in the game. I somehow find it amusing that this stage in the game where Shephard takes control of the Normandy, is well... Where I stopped playing it and was focused on Halo 3.

Guess this means I definately won't be pulling out the game again for another month!
