haven't finished playing the game, but so far i'm fairly disappointed in the frequencey of the full quality cgi scenes. it seems for the meat of the story they put together an engine which they could just input some simpletext dialogue and ran the puppets through a lip syncing system. very un-natural looking, and while acceptable for a game like mass effect it's quite cheap looking when stacked against the achievements of the original sc and sc:bw in terms of story telling and art quality.

Are you serious? You're calling SC1's talking head's and scrolling text an achievement for that time? Especially when Westwood already had full live action cutscenes?

Too many people look at SC1's campaign through rose colored glasses. It was nothing special.
