Mass Effect 3
What is Mass Effect 3?
Mass Effect 3 is an action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows. Combat system in Mass Effect 3 has been changed and refined. In particular, the cover system has been improved. There are more options for moving around the battlefield and scoring instant melee kills. More conventional grenades are available and an improved artificial intelligence is introduced. A four player multiplayer co-op mode is also available. Gameplay in Mass Effect 3 is influenced by decisions made in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, for players who have completed those games.
