Mass Effect 3 (2012 Video Game)
5/10
Confused
11 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The only reason I'm giving this game a 5 star rating is... well I have no idea what to give it really...

The storyline is engaging, the game-play is extremely improved, lots of choices to make, bla, bla, bla.

However, there are a number of bugs concerning some missions that appear, but can't be accessed and a very confusing galaxy map for a change. But I'd expect those to be fixed in a patch.

The thing that really bothers me, and without giving any spoilers away, is that the ending of the game is terrible. After having emotionally engaged me in many aspects, and developing relationships with other characters, races, etc, I was just left feeling empty and dissatisfied. It's like, no matter what you choose to do in the entire franchise can change the endings...

Like the title says... I'm confused.Across ME1 and ME2 and throughout ME3, the player is engaged in an epic story of 'galactic' proportions only to be left with a Matrix style ending and someones interpretation of the meaning of life. OK, in the end - that's a spoiler... I don't think that many people played the ME series to find out the meaning of life, but rather to enjoy the story of Commander Shepard and how he/she united a universe... And with polls on the Bioware website reaching 88% dissatisfied customers with the ending... At least I know I'm not crazy.
