With the previous threats of the series vanquished, Commander Shepard now must somehow defend not only earth from the onslaught of tens of thousands of world-destroying Reapers, but the entire galaxy, too.
Players pick up their adventure shortly after Mass Effect 2, in which Shepard has already made numerous crucial decisions during both his jump through the Omega-4 Mass Effect Relay to fight the Collectors and his employment with Cerebus, the para-military human organization that takes xenophobia to unearthly levels. Has there ever been a more anticipated game than Mass Effect 3 for the PlayStation 3? And has there ever been as much fear and trepidation that the final chapter to Bioware’s storied trilogy would be a let-down, which would permanently tarnish players’ previous experiences in the first two installments of the Mass Effect series? Set aside all concerns, as Mass Effect 3 not only is a worthy addition to Commander Shepard’s adventure, it is arguably the best of the three and is, without a doubt, one of the best gaming experiences available on the PlayStation 3.
