I watched the IGN video review...and the guy who did it says that the game can not keep a steady framerate at all...and that sometimes the buttons do not do any action.
Have you come across this?
Kind of a shame you can not save at will though, would be awesome.

one thing I’m not a fan of though is the shops?, so far I have found no reason to even use them, I mean the amount of loot I am finding is more than enough for me and my squad to be equipped with some bad ass gear, maybe I’ll need it later in the game who knows?

I have not bought him along yet, as i am trying to keep my team balanced between Tech\Biotic\Combat.
Jin:
I'm bringing Tali along we me, as she is a tech specialist, but even though in the level-up menu i have invested points in the squad heal talent for her, its nowhere to be found on the combat wheel?, have you seen this, what am i doing wrong?

This guys impressions, are pretty much spot on IMO.
Mass Effect - 13 hours in (Quotes)
Mass Effect is an adult game and not because of the sex scene. It demands more of you than just sharp reflexes and if you let it suck you in then you may just be glimpsing one strand of the future of gaming.
This is hardcore. Mass Effect - the Xbox 360 RPG, developed by Bioware - is out this Friday and 13 hours in I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. In the time it took me to finish Call of Duty 4 all I'd done is finish the tutorial, and pottered round the hub area chatting to the excellently depicted inhabitants. Thrill seekers will find the early stages slow going but then this probably isn't for them. The combat is more tactical than reflex, but Mass Effect is as much about the story as shooting. Anyway, the embargo lifts today but I haven't seen enough to do a review yet - so consider this first impressions.
Probably a quarter or my play time has been spent nattering to the locals. It all works so fluidly and the character graphics are so believable - wince as that alien you've pissed off rolls her eyes in disgust - that it sets new gaming standards. You genuinely feel part of a sci-fi movie and while you input is simply down to choosing responses you never fell like you are passively watching a cut-scene.
To really experience the game it is worth throwing yourself in. Read all the codex entries, chat to everyone - Mass Effect rewards dedication. The first four or five hours are particularly important in setting the scene.
There isn't a massive amount of handholding - it feels more like a PC game in that respect - and casual players, as well as your average GRAW/Halo/360 shooter fan will take a while to get used to it. KOTOR fans though, will feel right at home.
Downers? Well the slow pace will put some people off. It takes a while to get going and while some - like me - will enjoying pouring over the codex and chatting to the locals, it will be frustrating for those looking for a quick firefight. The graphics are generally superb - especially with the grainy film effect turned on - but there is some slowdown in the larger battles. Loading screens can interfere a little more of then than you'd like, although they mainly occur when landing on planets. And disappearing corpses are a shame in an otherwise perfectly crafted - and believable - universe. Finally the enemy AI can be a bit hit and miss - Halo this isn't. I came across at least 3 or 4 assailants who didn't realise I was pummelling bullets into them until far too late. Generally though the combat is a real challenge, especially if you've been lulled in by a preceding conversation or lengthy exploration.

Saying you cant find animaton in Japan is like saying you cant find food in Italy

Sidenote: Try your best to finish KOTOR the story is amazing.

I want to attack the enemies by myself, manualy.
And that is why I can't wait for Mass Effect, it is shooting were I control the combat, but also have that tactical approach when I in-pause the combat.
The story, exploration...etc. I love these types, as long as the setting, and gameplay mechanic is right...and as a sci-fi junky and a shooting fan with RPG, this game is perfect for me.
Sidenote answer: I do not have KOTOR games anymore. Don't plan on getting them again :P

It's a gRawPG.. lol.
In majority, its still an RPG first, action shooter second..even BioWare have said it MANY times.
I will say this one more time though...the shooting or the combat in general will not be like "aim and kill everything you see".
You have to upgrade, gain experience and training, level up to try and take out the tougher enemies...so thats why RPG comes first...when that is out of the way, the shooting mechanic comes to say "hello".
