Editorial overview

Inside Mass Effect: Genesis

What it is

Mass Effect: Genesis is a downloadable "interactive backstory comic". Genesis fills the role of Mass Effect for new players by introducing them to the story of the original game and allowing them to make six of the major plot decisions that players could make. If downloaded, the comic appears between the opening level and character customization. There are two versions of the comic, one each for a male and female Commander Shepard.
