If you've never sampled the delights of the Shepard saga before, this is as essential as PS3 purchases come. [Feb 2013, p.114]
A good value compilation for what remains a stunningly ambitious mix of interactive storytelling, compelling action, and sci-fi spectacle.

The Mass Effect Trilogy is definitely one of the best games ever created with an amazing storyline, fantastic characters, sweet and impressive graphics, very good music and so much more. Anyone who loves RPG games will have Mass Effect as one of their top games of all time.
It is an unforgettable journey that you shape yourself wrapped around by intense gameplay and a whole bunch of characters and worlds to explore. Mass Effect is to the gaming genre what Star Wars was to the movie genre.
Some games require detailed reviews, other games require an analysis of the elements within the game, but when some games blow you away and leave you speechless due to many factors there are no words left but gratitude for the developers and for everyone who participated in delivering this to us.
Hopefully we'll get more masterpieces such as this in the future.

No matter if you're a fan of action games or RPG, the Mass Effect trilogy is something you've got to play in this generation.
Fantastic! Just amazing! I played the three games in one row and loved every hour of it! Even the lack of depth in ME2 and ME3 could stop me from playing. The ability of choice and the amazing story (i even liked the ending of ME3) kept me playing on and on! These games are definitely on my top 3 ps3 games list!

Mass Effect... According to most it is the pinnacle of everything that a game should be. Now i know the fanboys will probably hate me for this but go right ahead, Mass Effect is a good but extremely overrated series! Now don't get me wrong these games are fun and do feature some good story moments but the fact that people are saying this is the best story in all of gaming... well its just not true! The graphics are good but not great and the gameplay is okay in the first, good in the second and third; but overall i bored of it really quickly! Now don't take me the wrong way, i am a huge sic-fi fan, and anybody who would call themselves one should definitely give these game a try... They're just not for me!

Mass Effect is an great game,and finally we can play the original one on Playstation 3. However, the fact that Mass Effect 1 and 2 doesn't have all the DLC's, it's a real shame, since it ruin the collection as a hole. That's why the 7, since we'll probably have to buy these missing DLC's.

This is an interesting case. Mass Effect 1 is a great game and Mass Effect 2 is even better. Mass Effect 3 had an ending that ruined the entire trilogy. Lets get a summary first. Mass Effect was the Star Wars for video games. It created a universe full of interesting characters, stories, history, conflicts, alien species, politics, technology, ideologies and cultures. The lore was so good that I had many good discussions with friends and read many articles in the Mass Effect Wiki. You have also a codex in each game where you can look up things for more details. Then they had a unique idea for the Mass Effect games. You can import your decisions into the next games. This was as interesting as impactful. Many of us had again so good discussions and arguments what the best course of action was or which outcome the decisions will have. There were a lot of mayor and some minor decisions that gave you different results in the follow up games. Then came the conclusion for the trilogy that shatter everything. I mentioned in my reviews for the individual games that I wanted to replay all of them to get my favourite (and satisfying) outcomes. I haven't touched the games since then and probably wouldn't in the future. The ending controversy got even into the media. BioWare made even a survey about the ending on their website which they removed quickly and silently because of the results. I compared this to the conclusion for Game of Thrones (or the Dark Tower in books). It is the same thing. The journey was beautiful and well worth it while the end undoes nearly everything. For details see the list of the famous YouTuber Angry Joe or watch the YouTube video which compares all endings (at once) and you will see what got the community enraged. They later tried to fix this with a free DLC (Really good material) but it was to late. The reviving with Mass Effect Andromeda failed miserable (The “My face is tired” meme is hilarious). Overall only the question remains what rating should I give to the trilogy. I can give 7/10 from the combined rating divided by 3 (10/10/1) or give 1/10 because of the conclusion. I will give 3/10 because the ending is important enough to have a higher value. If you don't believe me find a movie/book/video game/TV series were the ending is abysmal and you can give a good review with honesty and no doubts afterwards.

ME1 and ME2 are great. They set an exiting setting for ME3. Unfortunately BioWare completely butchered ME3 and personally ruined the ME franchise for me. The ending of the trilogy was so important and boy was I looking forward to an epic clash between the allied forces and the mysteries Reapers. In order not to spoil I'll leave it with this: After playing the horrible ending of ME3 the entire series was castrated. The excitement I felt toward it dropped. Even days after finishing ME3 I was bummed out. Really bummed. I have lost all will to replay any of the ME games. You put in a lot of hours and money to finish these games and in the end BioWare returns the favour by taking an unfairly huge dump on your forehead. Even worse the trilogy contains very little DLC. One could expect to at least get the majority of the DLC for the games with such a box set. But the will to make money is greater than pleasing loyal fans. Which is also shown not just in the DLC department but also in the mutilated ending of the franchise.
