Mass Effect 1 SpoilerWrex's death is avoidable if you get enough persuasion points and complete his sidequest!

It was a great game. I am very map challenged and got lost countless times and the marker didn't even help half of the time. I spent most of the game wandering around in the tank with very piss poor driving skills. I just don't know. The conversations were really amusing and for once I didn't mind sitting through long dialogues to hear people explain stuff. I really got in to the story. Now THAT'S an rpg done right. The only thing I can say is, it definitely needed more elcor and more variety of music.
The Mako tank and the wide open uncharted worlds are gone. And the music does have more variety. In addition to each area having its own music, each mission also has its own music and battle music.

I also think the character of Commander Shepard is better as a female...maybe I'm bias. I just can't imagine playing the game as a dude now. The voice fit everything that was going on and the look of the character. There was a point where my squad were all standing all heroic like and shiz and we all had colorful armors on with our helmets. It was amusing cuz it was like we were some ghetto version of the power rangers. Anywayz yeah, great game. I hope the second is better.
The second improves a lot, but still has room for improvement. You will probably like it.



Anyway, the first new DLC pack is confirmed for late March. Containing the Hammerhead hover tank, and five missions using it. This DLC is free for all people with the Cerberus Network. We'll get to see how much they improved the vehicles.
