Mass Effect 3

If you had read my review on mass effect 2 (I'm betting you haven't) you would know I'm a big fan of the Mass Effect games. And Mass Effect 3 is just another HUGE reason to get into the games. This game picks up from mass effect 2. (SPOILERS) Shepherd has left cerberus and joined the alliance. And now the new, evil threat the reapers are here to wipe out the galaxy. Mass Effect 3's story is brilliant. It has (in my opinion) the best story in all 3. Another great thing I must stress is voice acting. The voice acting is wonderful. Mass Effect 3 feels like your are at the movies but you make the big decisions as the main character. Thats another great thing about Mass Effect; How personal it is. In this game you choose how you respond to everything and each response and action determines what you are like and how people look at you. It's a fresh new way to play games and I'm telling you, I LOVE it. And also I must mention the gameplay. The gameplay is the best it has been. I already loved ME2's gameplay but ME3's feels smoother and is easier to play. I might be saying how great it is but there are some things to look out foor. There is some sexual content but that is OPTIONAL. You choose to be in a sexual relationship. The game does not make you and even if you do there is no nudity. Although, it is pretty sexual so avoid that. Also there is some language. The cursing has not evolved much from ME2. F*** is used few times. Other words like S***, B****, A**, and other words are used. These words are used not too constant but they are there. And there also is violence but its pretty mild compared to most M games. In reality it's no worse than a PG-13 movie. There you have it. ME3 is a wonderful game in many aspects but I think its one of those games saved for the teens.

Violence is really only the main issue in ME3. When using a sniper rifle, players can shoot off enemy heads and leave blood spewing out. Then there are other weapons the player can use to literally blow up bodies with. IT IS MESSY

Hello parents, I got Mass Effect 3 today as an early Easter gift for my PS3. It's a GREAT game. The problem is the swearing and sex. You can avoid the sex scenes by not talking to girls in your free time. The violence isn't an issue, really. There's a BIT of drinking, but that's fine. There are TONS of GREAT role models. Now, the sex. You can see skin, but not a whole bunch. You can easily avoid it, as I said above. The swearing is bad, uses of the f-word, s-word, and more, but if your kid plays a game like Blockland or something else, they're fine. Monitor the game, though. If you do not like it, tell them to stop playing it and put it on Kijiji or eBay. GREAT game though.

To Kids: This is most certainly the best Mass Effect game i have played. The story is great, the combat and gameplay is incredible, and the overall experience of the game is probably the best i have ever played. Throughout the game you will step back, look at the clock, and think to yourself: have i really been playing for this long? I highly recommend this game to any kid whose parents will allow them to buy it. To Parents: This is a great game, but there are some things you need to be aware of. The first, and most obvious thing is the violence. This game requires you and your allies to shoot and kill people, aliens, and robots. However, although most of the gameplay is centered around combat, the violence is neither excessively gorey nor uncalled for. The premise of the game is that there is a race of sentient machines known as The Reapers whose goal is to "harvest" all life in the galaxy. All combat is based around the concept of saving humanity, and all the other races of the galaxy. There is an option to romance a crew member (the character you play serves as commander on the spaceship Normandy SR-2). However, although your character can have sex with the person you chose to romance, there is no nudity (aside from bare chests for men and a bra for women), and there is no way that you can be unfaithful to the person you chose. Men can romance other men and women can romance other women. It is possible to go through the entire game without romancing anyone. There is strong language throughout the game, but nothing a teenager couldn't deal with. F*** and S*** are used, as well as D**n and G*dd**n (more frequent), but swears are not used that often. The whole game requires you to make decisions that effect the galaxy around you. Your choices will also have a positive or negative effect on your crew as well as yourself (quite literally, the more of a "renegade" you are, the more scarred and disformed your face becomes), rewarding players who make good decisions and hindering players who make bad ones, turning the player him/herself into a positive role model. SPOILER ALERT (kids stop reading here if you are still reading): The ending of the game requires the player to make a choice, either destroy the Reapers, control them, or fuse all humans and synthetics together so that they can coexist (only available at certain military strengths). This was one of the most fulfilling endings to any game I have ever played, and i highly recommend that you allow your kid (if s/he is older than the age of 14) to play this game.
