Bah, more like "Meh Effect"

 

It was an OK game with a lot of flaws that I ultimately  found a bit boring with a confusing silly plot. Much like their previous game Jade Empire which was also vastly over rated. I'm sure it'll be worth playing, and I'll eventually pick it up cheap and used. But this series was certainly no master piece like KOTOR was.

The plot was better than most other games which isn't saying much but it's something. Also I agree with you that Jade Empire was overrated so were the KOTOR games, as far as I'm concerned Mass Effect is the best game Bioware has ever created (unitl ME 2).

Jade Empire was NOT overrated. It's metacritc score says it's underrated. 

OP: In my eyes Mass Effect was an awesome game but higly overrated. Why? no game with that many problems should be given anything higher than an 8.5. It's inexcusable and needs to be addressed. Sorry until Bioware fixes those problems Mass Effect WILL NOT be a AAA Rpg. 

It had a lot of problems but I felt the dialogue options and story made up for it. Then again, I played on PC where there were less tech issues (which is weird as its usually the other way round). I will say it was overated though, but only by Bioware's high standards. The fact that they planned the series as a trilogy meant I felt I was only playing 1/3rd of a game and it didn't feel anywhere near as epic or huge as SW:KoToR.
