Mass Effect in Brief

My initial impressions of Mass Effect‘s overall package:

Prologue planet: This isn’t a war, it’s a moider.
Citadel incursion: Politics, eh? You’d better give me some of those.
Planet the first: Save the Diva Plavalaguna!
Planet the second: Protect the fidgety colonists from themselves!
Planet the third: Deal with red tape, then slaughter … Zerg? … yeah, okay.
Planet the fourth: WE WILL TAKE THEM ON THE BEACHES

Cue POLITICS and SEX

Planet the Fifth: ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH

Epilogue!

Council: You are charged with having saved the galaxy and rendering the threat to our continued existence moot. How do you plead?
Shepard: Awesome.

Shepard dons sunglasses and walks away as explosions go off behind her.

Roll credits.

Yeah; it was worth it in the end.
