Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in
a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone
rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect
challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against
threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a
trilogy of games with an overarching story. As Commander Shepard, your mission is to halt the advancing armies of a
legendary agent gone rogue. But as you lead your elite team across hostile alien
worlds, you will discover the true threat is far greater than anyone imagined.
