Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story. As the first human Specter – sworn defenders of galactic peace – 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.

There’s a new trailer up that shows some of the combat in Mass Effect from a soldier class perspective. From the looks of things, it should be a lot of fun to play. Is it action? Is it RPG? Really, who cares? It just looks sweet.

This game is stunningly beautiful, the combat looks solid and man do we hope that the music isn’t reserved just for the video. Their music selection actually makes the combat scenario feel intense and … well, epic. This video shows off the game’s targeting system, weapon switching, target painting, aiming and basic cover.
