Completing iPhone Mass Effect unlocks stuff in sequel photo

Just released today, it appears that someone has already completed Mass Effect Galaxy, the iPhone tie-in to BioWare’s Xbox 360 and PC title.

Completing the game for completions sake is so two years ago, as finishing Galaxy rewards you with something for the unreleased Mass Effect 2.

“Your reward for completing the game is already waiting for you in Mass Effect 2,” gamers who finish the game are told.

The reward is transferred to Mass Effect 2 by tying Galaxy to your EA.com account. What is it? Who knows. Joystiq suggests its a weapon or armor for Galaxy’s main character, Jacob Taylor, who appears as a companion character in Mass Effect 2.

But is this reward worth the $4.99 you’ll need to shell out for Mass Effect Galaxy? We haven’t tried it out yet, so if you’ve spent the dough, let us know*.

Guess the game isn't very long if someone went through it that fast.

well, you're paying 4.99 for the game and the experience, not for a reward on mass effect 2.

sorry, I'm just bugged when people write stuff like that last sentence.

I've been playing Mass Effect Galaxy a bit this afternoon. It's much less than the full console experience, and it's much more than a simple $5 DLC coupon. It's somewhere in between.

Considering the pedigree of cell phone games these days, I'm pleased. The production values are good, and it features the Mass Effect mythos prominently. However, it's still a shallow top-down shooter, mostly just good for a few hours of mindless amusement.

@braulio09 There are people out there who will pay $5 just to get that secret unlockable.

Well, if I had an iPhone I'd have bought this anyways, but I guess it's always nice to get a bonus. Still, wish I was able to give this a go.

So Mass Effect is going to have some serious consequences.

But, if you play our other game, you get a little undescribed bonus.

How much do you love your Shepard? $4.99 love?

That said, I kinda wish I had an iPhone

No chance of it coming out on the HTC Magic? I would probably have a go for the couple of pounds it would cost

I'm still contemplating buying this or not. There's very few iPhone games I get into, but it seems worth a look. I also think that adding in the reward for ME2 really just increases the value of the game for people like us.

It's amusing how much people are freaking out about this.

There's a way around that tax (especially on PC), and for you Gamerscore-junkies, I rather doubt Microsoft will let EA make prior titles a condition of your precious 1000/1000.
