Anyhow, I spent the evening playing the Mass Effect 3 demo which came out on the same day, which I am sure slightly less of you are aware. If that sounds depressing well maybe my curse is honesty, but I had fun so its all good in the proverbial hood.
In summary, ME3 is shaping up to be pure awesomeness- and I didnt even touch the singleplayer. So far the multiplayer element seems to follow the popular horde mode path. You and 3 friends (or random strangers, you decide) suit up as a collection of bad-ass humans and attempt to survive 10 punishing waves of unforgiving mercenaries. New characters, classes and even races can be unlocked through leveling up, and it seems in the full game additional enemy types and customization options can be unlocked to keep the experience fresh. Despite being but a taster containing only two maps, I still enjoyed replaying them to death over the course of the evening. This may in no small part due to getting lucky with unlocks- as my human character I quickly gained damage upgrades for a sniper rifle, and then managed to get my hands on an anti material rifle which seemingly destroys most targets with one shot in a spray of crimson. A short time down the line I unlocked a Krogan soldier, and proceeded to headbutt my way to victory. I can tell you they are not the most team friendly characters; half the time I was blocking shots from my allies with the sheer size of my player model, the rest of the game I was inadvertently poaching kills by lashing out at the nearest thing with my giant armored cranium. Still, the whole thing is ridiculously enjoyable and I cannot wait for the full game. Happy belated valentines from space!
