Just to add my 2 cents to the discussion of the quality of ME3....ME3 is an excellent game. Its not without its shortcommings though, the most blatantly obvious being the handling of the ending and everything that happened in Priority: Earth. The finale when you get back to Earth should have been at least on par with the Suicide Run (which was ME2's greatest period). The rest of the game is good, but it rests on the laurals of its predecessors. By that I mean every epic or emotional moment is cashing in on the experiences in the previous 2 games. ME3 doesn't bring anything new to the table except the ending...That is by no means to say that ME3 is a bad game. Its head and shoulders above most other titles out there, and one of the few really great Sci Fi game franchises.
