Mass Effect Resaerch

Mass Effect:- Surprisingly each game feels very much different Star Trek series.

Mass effect is a Third Person Shooter, Role Playing Game that was released by Bioware in 2007. The game was awarded for it in depth RPG elements an how decisions and choices affected the out come of the game, making game feel more organic and less forced. It also introduced interesting ways of expanding the players knowledge of the universe via conversations with other characters and in the game codex. Sadly the first game was slightly weak in terms of the combat department.

But as time went on the games combat system improved, many holding Mass Effect 2 to be the strongest of the three games, while each game held to great critical acclaim, the third game is held up fan disagreement and back lash, feeling that the games ending ruins the entire franchise and what players have worked towards. We will be looking at this games Trans Media to see if they hold up strong like the first two or fall like the third.

Novels:-
Overall the the first three Mass Effect books were written by Drew Karpyshyn, he also wrote for the first two Mass Effect games. Sadly I was not able to find any reviews on his last two books, but it states that his first book, went deeply into not just expanding the universe, but also the politics of council races.

The fourth book was written by the infamous William C. Dietz, this time the major cause for concern was wide spread backlash from fans and readers of the book, about the books numerous faults. Fans were so disgusted by the book that there were actual videos posted online of fans burning their copies of the book in protest. Bioware actually recalled the copies of the back and had many of the faults corrected, this however did not fix the books bad story,

Comics:-
The writers for nearly all the Mass Effect comic books is Mac Walters who like Drew Karpysyn, wrote most of the Mass effect games, most notably, the last two. While the stories for these book receive high praise, the artwork can be at fault at times, to the point it is mocked by fans, by delivering odd, if not immersion breaking expressions.

Anime:-

On April 2011 it was announced that an animated version of Mass Effect was going to be released, called Paragon Lost. The film will follow a stylized anime style and be set during the events of the second game. And is set to be released on December of the follow year of it's announcement.
