Mass Effect 3 is the third and final installment of the story of Commander Shephard, a human who is charged with stopping the extinction of all advanced life and ending the reapers on their chaotic path of destroying everything. The game is non stop action from start to finish and it brings a close to the epic storyline, it finishes off the characters stories and gives you some closure surrounding shephards story, If you enjoyed the first two the way I enjoyed them then you will no doubt find trawling the galaxy stealthily trying to find allies without being detected by the reapers a nice feature, piecing together a mighty fleet of starships to 'take back earth' is a nice feature of the game and the storlines of uniting peoples who have been warring for centuries to face the common enemy is a good plot element. The combat is as seamless as it was in ME2, with the addition of an omniblade which allows you to sneak around and instantly kill people assassin style. The horrible planet mining system has been dispensed with and the character development and weapon system have changed slightly although the new systems are an improvement on the already good system in ME2.

One of the good features of this game are the online features which also allow you to bring your online characters into the offline game and the galactic readiness you earn online translates to offline too although it is not required to finish the game.
