I'm sure this had been done to death, but for everything that Mass Effect gets so spectacularly right, it really is a sloppy game. For fun, let's run down some of the problems.
-Autosave is non-existent, meaning an hour can be lost thanks to a one-shot-kill.
-Face shadows are horrible.
-Texture pop-up is beyond horrible.
-Item management is unnecessarily painful.
-Mako has very wonky controls, turning can be a hassle and it jumps around a lot.
-Party AI is not very good.
-One-shot-kills. Come on now.
-Frame rate reminds me of Perfect Dark multiplayer at times.
-Elevators take forever.
-Re-entering the ship takes forever.
-The non-storyline worlds look like pallet swaps of each other.
I'd probably hate Mass Effect if I didn't love it so much...
