VideoGamer gives it a 5/10:
It's rare to be able to say that stripping out sections of a game could actually improve it (especially on a title that is less than two hours long) but we can't help feeling MEG's awful combat waters down what is in essence a very stylistic interactive animation. Die hard fans desperate for more information on the Mass Effect universe are bound to get enjoyment out of the game, but for anyone else looking for an experience akin to the Xbox 360 title, Mass Effect Galaxy couldn't be further removed.
The Save Points! remains scoreless:
I was quite disappointed with Mass Effect Galaxy. While the story is decent, the gameplay feels like a painful chore in order to get to the story. I also feel like I didn't learn anything worthwhile about Jacob or Miranda, other than that they have a connection with the Alliance military. I did, however, find it interesting to be able to see another episode of the plights of the Batarians. But on the other hand, I feel as if this is just a prologue to the Mass Effect Downloadable Content Bring Down the Sky.
And AppVee finishes the list off with a 3/5:
To sum the game up, Mass Effect Galaxy has a great story and with some excellent art. But the gameplay is way too mundane and only hardcore fans will find much value in it. If you want a fix of some great scifi fiction, this game is great for that. Just don't expect it to act like a game and be fun.
