What's the multi player like?
Is there online co-op campaign? Multiplayer matches? Etc...
No....Its single player only but if you liked KOTOR you'll love this. It has multiple endings etc. While i only got to play an hour it was certainly one of if not the best sci-fi RPGs out there. It dose however focus on storytelling more so then game play which doesn't mean the gameplay is bad its actually allot of fun. I'd suspect that you could easily achieve 200+ hours if you went out to experience everything in the game. Its certainly worth the money.
It was good no doubt. I just finished it, for the massive RPG Bioware obviously borrowed a lot of ideas in the game from the KotOR games but they improved and perfected on a lot of areas...this is without any doubt the best RPG released so far on the 360, and looking at the stunning graphics I can safely say the RPG has broadly leapt into the next generation.
The facial character customization was by far the best in the creation of your character- nose, lips, eyes, hair, they let you cover everything.
Bioware created a very immersive story and universe here, I feel (by the way it ended) were in store for another Mass Effect game.
But remember kids, it's got a Mature 17+ rating, and rightfully so...(in the love subplots) there is a tad bit of nudity, nothing extreme but I can understand why it got the rating.
All in all an excellent game, I'm still waiting on what KotOR III will look like (if it ever gets made) but for fans of the genre you'll definetly love Mass Effect
Just reinterating this...
If your not sure rent it first, then decide.
The only criticism I could give the game (seeing as I was on every landable planet) is it becomes a little repetative and slightly boring driving around each planets surface after you've done it over and over and over again.
Take it from me, you should try this one out
well its over 60 hours long (doesnt include the time youll take leveling up)
and it has a moderetely high replay value
Actually a complete playthrough (main plot and all side missions) is more like 30-40 hours the first time. Subsequent playthroughs (when you know where everything is) are probably in the order of 25-30 hours for everything or 10-15 hours for just the main plot.

Jackal, from the outset BIOWARE stated this game is part of a three part trilogy.
OMG, if they make a KOTOR 3 as they should have made KOTOR 2, that will be an awesome game on the 360.
