Let’s get this one out of the way. I don’t know how much anticipation was riding on this game from EA Mobile but considering that its name is synonymous with the Mass Effect franchise, we’re thinking people were at least checking out for this game due to its brand name alone. Early impressions for the game wasn’t fantastic, with the main criticism being its length and its ground-basic gameplay. With the game’s release yesterday, many have already confirmed that the game is indeed lacking and is, for the better word, a disappointment.

Considering the fact that Mass Effect is one of, if not my favourite game of all time, I don’t know if I should be purchasing this in the App Store or stay away from the bitter disappointment it supposedly is. On the flipside, many have also praised its narrative, stylized artwork and top-tiered presentation that’s usually found in all EA-published games. And if you’re a collector of all things Mass Effect, ME: Galaxy is one for the fans. And yes, ME: Galaxy also comes with a ME2 unlockable award at the end of the adventure. Once you complete the iPhone iteration of the franchise, you’ll be presented with a screen stating that your reward will be able to be claimed in Mass Effect 2. Yeah, that’s a while away. But whatever it is, I doubt it’d be worth checking out. Not everyone has an iPhone/iPod touch and may feel left out if a significant part of ME2 is not available to them equally. Well, for those who do, by all means check it out if you must. But just remember that this may not be the Mass Effect you remembered back in 2007.
