Mass Effect Galaxy Reviews

A couple more less-than-favorable reviews are now available for BioWare's newly released action-heavy iPhone RPG, Mass Effect Galaxy.

MobileCrunch remains scoreless:
Although never intended as a full-fledged iPhone game, Mass Effect Galaxy was still a major disappointment. To EA and Bioware: if you're going to use it as a marketing vehicle for Mass Effect 2, then make it free (and cut out some of the features), or charge $0.99 for it. Regardless, as our Devin Coldeway predicted, this game simply dilutes the Mass Effect franchise.

And iPhoneGameNetwork goes with a 1.5/5:
While I do think Bioware did a good job with the story and dialogue elements, I can't help but feel that my actions had no effect on the story as a whole, and apart from the odd bad response to my questions from a character, the story seemed to continue unhindered. I have replayed some sections to see if it makes any difference to the outcome, but I couldn't find any. Reports from other sources seem to share that opinion, so don't expect an RPG on the same level as the Xbox game.
