Still don't get why you keep on saying this shouldn't have been made for the 360 like the game is not playable LOL. Check out the reviews and you will see MOST agree with me and the few technical issue are hugely overshadowed by the story, immersion, and yes even graphics the game provides


The game was just too much for the 360 to handle at the current time. I'm not saying the 360 is bad or it should have been made on something else, it's just they either should have waited for the technology or scaled down the game to run smoothly.

You say that you experience the LOD problem once every few hours (so you saw it, what, 7 times?), I saw it every time I changed rooms. If it really was once every few hours I wouldn't say anything and neither would other reviewers, things like this only get mentioned as much as it does because it is a problem.

And yes, Mass Effect does have an insane awesome story and universe, but the immersion is shattered by the controls that take you out of the game, bad frame rate, and LOD models being late. I suppose this can be blamed on UE3 but Bioware is the one that decided to go with the engine, make the game as large as they did, and release the game when they did.

-edit-

And as for the controls, I made sure to ask my buddies what they thought of the various control like the biotecs and grenades to make sure I wasn't crazy and they echoed my opinions.
