Well, here I am at work, typing this up, thinking about how to phrase this. Ahh, this sums it up perfectly. This well written article says it all. But look, really, the ending aside, the rest of the game was pretty damn good, definitely worthy of a trilogy ender (cept the ending itself of course >.< ). The only other gripe I have is the cover system. It’s pretty much exactly like the Gears of War 3 system, A to roadie run A to get in cover, A to go over cover, A to roll and just like GoW if you try to roadie run near cover sometimes it’ll just snap to go in cover or if you try to roll it’ll stick to cover and refuse to leave it. Infuriating, especially in multiplayer when you’re trying to evade a charging brute and you get killed because the cover system though you wanted to stick to the wall rather than roll to the side. But other than that, it’s a solid game and really enjoyable.
As for the multiplayer, well, let’s just say who doesn’t want to play as a krogan solider charging an enemy with a shotgun or a cheeky salarian engineer stealing shields and incinerating his foes? Weapons and mods that are unlocked are useable by all classes and characters and credits are also pooled. As it has been mentioned elsewhere, it is better if you play with your friends as it pretty much plays like GoW Horde mode, but instead of building fortifications every round, you build up your character and arsenal over time.
In conclusion, it’s good, go play it, have fun. : )
