Playing it on the 360 myself. I have not played it on the PS3 or PC so I have nothing to compare it to but I'm enjoying it thus far. Not really having any issues with the controls so far but then again, if I were to try it on the other systems, maybe some issue would come to light so I'll just avoid seeing it on any other system so I can remain content with what I have. thumbsup

While I know I'm a little late to the party, let me say, if you can play it on PC do it. Honestly, I'm a huge 360 fan, and I love my console. But this game is just FUGLY on the 360. Very low res graphics, and it's quite a shame. You get a sense of how ugly it is when the high res rendered cutscenes play, which were clearly captured on a PC with higher res textures.

That said, it plays great on the 360.

also, according to the IGN review... the console versions are easier and more action, while the PC version is a lot harder and more tactical... along with the ability to move to tactical view.

I had it pre-ordered for 360 but lucky for me, I read reviews before picking it up and canceled it, and got it via STEAM.

A great game, different and fun... for me. wink

You can use the PC version unlock codes for ME2 on the 360 as well.

I got the PC version and the unlock codes for the dragon armour clearly state that they'll work on any system for ME2

PC and PS3 versions are superior to the 360 version. That is all.

I have the PS3 version and have already sunk 70 hours into the damn thing since release.

God I love this game.. haven't had a RPG excite me as much since Oblivion.

I'm conflicted about finishing it. On one hand I don't want it to end. On the other, its an invitation to get MW2.

But still, what a great year for gaming. Some great titles this year.

Dragon Age is the best RPG I've played in awhile, it also got me to reinstall Baldur's Gate, BG2 and Icewind Dale. Of course I haven't played any of them since MW2 was released but winter is on the way, a good time for RPGs.

I don't think I could stand not having the tactical view in the console versions. Don't know why they took it out, there are other iso view RPG's on consoles.

So what are your characters like?

I’m a human noble warrior with most powerful dual wielded weapons you can get in game. Starfang and Keening blade (Both with 3 runes each) – so one swoop does around 110 damage, and a flurry will do about 150-170 damage. Got the Juggernaut armor which is 18 or 20 armor plus a ton of stat bonuses.

Went all the way with both female uh.. romantic interests.. biggrin

Only thing that messes me up are mages. Playing on normal difficulty and still run into a challenge here and there.
