Well folks, Mass Effect 3 has hit, and while I eagerly await reviews from those around here who have the game some reviews have started to hit from others. Of particular interest are the Metacritic user reviews which are positively brutal netting the game 2.1, 2.3, and 4.1 out of 10 for the PC, PS3 and XBox360 respectively. The industry reviews are also somewhat interesting with PC Gamer's review including the phrase "The end of the series is a mixed bag. Satisfying in some ways, nonsensical in others, and ultimately too simple." but giving it a 93/100... That seems a bit off to me.
I personally can't speak to the games quality, most of you know my personal opinion and that I highly exaggerate it for comedic effect but the reality is that I have not and will not be playing the game so I can only give second hand opinions. With this beating in user reviews and odd features in some industry views it does raise some eyebrows though. Hopefully we can get a review from one of our locals soon though.
