Mass Effect 3 is an action role-playing video game developed by
BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The third major entry in the
Mass Effect series and the final installment of the original trilogy,
it was first released in March 2012 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360,
and PlayStation 3. A Wii U version of the game, entitled Mass Effect
3: Special Edition, was later released in November 2012. Mass Effect 3
is set within the Milky Way Galaxy in 2186, where galactic
civilization is invaded by a highly advanced machine race of
synthetic-organic starships known as Reapers. It concludes the story
of Commander Shepard, an elite human soldier who is tasked with
forging alliances between species for the war.Similar to Mass Effect
2, the player can import a completed saved game into Mass Effect 3
that influences the plot by taking previous decisions into account. In
general, Mass Effect 3 revolves around increasing military strength by
completing missions and gathering resources. As BioWare designed the
game to be accessible to both old and new players, many of the series'
traditional gameplay elements remain, such as cover-based third-person
shooting, but new aspects are introduced as well, such as a
multiplayer component. The game's score was written by a variety of
composers, who aimed for a balance between the orchestral sound of
Mass Effect 2 and the synthesizer-driven sound of the original Mass
Effect. Mass Effect 3 also supports a variety of downloadable content
packs, including Leviathan, Omega, and Citadel.Mass Effect 3 received
critical acclaim for its art direction, characters, emotional story,
improved combat, soundtrack, and voice acting. However, its ending was
poorly received by fans, who felt that it did not meet expectations.
In response to the controversy, BioWare released the Extended Cut
downloadable content pack, which expands upon the original ending. The
game received several year-end awards, including Best RPG at the Spike
Video Game Awards and Game of the Year from Game Informer. In March
2017, it was followed by a stand-alone sequel, Mass Effect: Andromeda.
