But that's it! Those were our issues; the rest of the game is an experience that we feel comfortable calling the next evolution in the Action RPG genre. First, there is the fantastic story, which may not have the cool twist we've come to expect from Bioware's storytelling but is still tasty sci-fi goodness. It's well thought out, extremely well written, detailed and feels like a classic, great sci-fi story which sucks you in with great characters, galactic politics and epic backdrops for the action. You can choose to follow the main story only or you can also explore other planets throughout the galaxy and do a variety of side quests. Depending on how you play, the game will either feel like a blockbuster sci-fi movie or a Sci-fi TV series with good filler episodes and other greater episodes that spill more info about the main story.
