Will Mass Effect 3 be good even if I haven't played 1 and 2 ?

A new 'kid' friendly story with Yoshis instead of big scary aliens.

I am yet to play ME3 but I think what a lot of people liked about the series is being able to import your character from a previous game to continue the same story; this will not be possible on the Wii U. It's possible that you may be able to catch on to the story but you'll be better off playing the other two first.

It'll be okay, but it's a story based game that carries on from Mass Effect 1 and 2. Think of it as a movie trilogy; you'd want to see the other two.

Meh, having played all 3, never was a huge fan of the story. Star Wars is a better trilogy imo

PS3 players never got the original, only ME2 and ME3, so they had to pick from certain options at the beginning of the game to form Sheps past. Same thing for Wiiu version.

Cool! i might get this game

The games do flow off their back story but they can be played without playing the previous titles.

That said, this is probably why Mass Effect 3 on Wii U has an altered storyline, to counter not having the previous two titles.

The online is surprising addictive, at least it is for me.
It's co-op multiplayer only. You defeat waves of enemies together whilst completing novelty objectives along the way, all in a sandbox map.
It's fun, light (depending on difficulty) and easy to pick up once you get the gist of it.

Those graphics look amazing

Already preordered assains creed 3, guess I'll have to preorder this to. I already have the ps3 version but a bunch of new stuff on the wiiu version why not. Also they have a trailer of it on the 3ds shop channel looks cool.
