The voice acting is fantastic as well -- though sometimes I swear the dialogue option I picked wasn't nearly as snotty or angry as Shepard makes it sound. I also feel like it's too clearly a port from a console at times -- I shouldn't have to rotate the camera to tell my squadmates where to go, I should be able to just click it with the mouse.

Anyway, it gets an A+ from me. My biggest complaint is that it's not a game that lends itself to playing in 1-2 hour chunks, which is generally all I have time for. I have trouble turning it off.

Oh, and it doesn't recognize my 5.1 surround, and I haven't figured out how to fix that yet. :sad:
agreed. I save and try a few of the options to see what works best.

I'm a little disappointed that you immediately see the largest city in the game (or so I think). I enjoy working my way up to the large city's like in Fallout 1 and 2.
