Mass Effect 3 is an action role-playing game in which Commander Shepard leads a final campaign against the Reapers, a machine race that has invaded Earth and is conquering civilizations across the galaxy. Players recruit squad members from various species and classes, forge alliances, and make choices that determine which characters survive. Combat features squad-based tactics with combinable biotic and tech powers, blind fire, and enhanced melee attacks.
The game includes a cooperative multiplayer mode where up to four players fight waves of enemies to liberate conflict zones. Progress in multiplayer contributes to war preparedness in the single-player campaign. New and returning squad members join Shepard's team, including soldier James Vega and EDI, an AI in a physical body.

I actually liked it. But those endings.... bruh. Again EA Games and again a beautiful series gone bad. Thanks EA.

Wow. What a game. I always tear up at at ending (and several parts before it).

Finished Mass Effect 3. Great game, including it's ending. Maybe some people didn't enjoy because none of the ending matched their Shepard personalities, but the one I chose sure did.

"When Earth begins to fall in an ancient cycle of destruction, Commander Shepard must unite the forces of the galaxy to stop the Reapers in the infamous final chapter of the first Mass Effect trilogy."
My favourite descriptions of games here are the ones that sound like a scorned "fan" whining.

The original ending is better. Play that first instead of the extended cut.

Playing a renegade Infiltrator Manshep where only Garrus survived the suicide mission (it's actually impossible on Wii U for him to do otherwise).
