Gameplayer has taken a hands-on look at the combat in the innovative new title, Mass Effect. The game is being developed by BioWare, who are not experienced in shooters. The article includes some quotes from the company"s founder, Dr Greg Zeschuk.

"BioWare said it considers the Mako - the all-terrain vehicle that you control on uncharted worlds - to be another team-member. Normally it moves like one of Halo"s Warthogs on its bobbling multiple large-tyred wheels, but then it jumps and you realise what its movement resembles most is a cautious cat sneaking up on a piece of string."
