Mass Effect Galaxy gets release date.

Greedy EA releasing garbage under the mass effect name.

 

WOAH! June 22! 10 more days! I'm stoked about playing this game. Hope it's gonna be good.

 

Nice Find mate!
Mass Effect has potential. Lets hope it lives up to the hype

 

Guys... haven't you seen the videos from E3?

It's complete and utter GARBAGE. It's some terrible Smash TV clone for nintendo 8 bit clone.

It has NOTHING to do with mass effect. One of my favorite games ever, being raped by EA to get an extra million dollars.

 

Here don't take my word for it, if you think this is Mass Effect and you are hyped about it good for you, cuz i'm very mad.

 

It didn't look too awful. It certainly isn't like the Mass Effect console version but for the iDevice, it looks good. I'm guessing it's Auto-Fire?

 

If it has good controls I'll be all over it. I've been waiting for a polished top down shooter like this for awhile. I love the duck and cover aspects too, enemies don't see you until you're in their line of vision.

 

I want to get this game, but I doubt it will have good controls and compared to the original Mass Effect this game is nothing. Anyways I'll wait for reviews before I make my choice.

 

Where is the damn alien sex scene! No Sale

 

Ummm even on the PREVIEW they say it sucks

Trust me guys this will be a total bust!

 

Yeah, here is a small write up about it...

And while the game was designed by Bioware, it plays very differently from the regular console versions. It's much more action-based, and while it does tell a pretty enticing story, it's much less of an RPG.

While Mass Effect played as a third-person shooter, Mass Effect Galaxy actually goes with a top-down view, and takes basic aiming controls out of your hands completely. Instead, you send the main character running around the map with the accelerometer, and he aims and fires at enemies for you. Along the side edge of the touchscreen are your bionic abilities, and you can throw them in as you fight, but mostly, the game is just about navigating Jacob behind cover by tilting the accelerometer.


So, does it work? Kind of. Unfortunately, it seems like Bioware used the accelerometer function for the sake of innovation, rather than having gameplay that demanded it. So while it is an innovative little control scheme, it doesn't really feel connected to the Mass Effect aesthetic. And even if you've already played through the first game, the skills you picked up won't help here -- though Jacob is doing the same things that Shepard did in Mass Effect, you're controlling him in a completely different way. And while it is new, it's not that great.

It's accelerometer so not sure how you can consider it a good or bad. Well, actually, Super Monkey Ball's controls were pretty awful. I prefer touch-based on games like these though. Not sure how the game will turn out.

 

I really don't enjoy how it was made... Not hyped about this... Kill Test and Touchdogs are good =)... ngmoco said that they will try to even Kill Test as much as possible for the purchase feature, as an... Better clothes (doesn't give advantage) and etc. I loved Nintendogs for the DS, i hope this is just as good xD

 

Was going to buy this until I saw the video. This is trash. Couldn't they have made a game with an Underworld-like engine?! A true Touch action RPG, even if a short one? Pass.

 

Imagine a terrible version of Dark Raider then add atrocious tilt controls.

 

I'm going to play it just for the storyline, Mass Effect is still my favourite game of all time.

 

I doubt it's the same writers. Good soundtrack either save a couple themes.

 

What a waste of franchise.

 

Damn I was hoping for something like Alien Breed.
