I just got it (for free) but I'm not going to start until I finish Bioshock (which is my favorite console game in the last 5 years).

I'm about 12 hours into it. It starts out slow, but it's a really great game once you get going. The voice acting is impressive.

agh when I start playing it, i cant stop until i get sleepy. I've beaten it twice and I'm clocking in about 40 hours. It's such a great game when you get past the ---smurfy--- framerate jumps and texture popins

Im about 20 hours into it.  And I can say that its really enjoyable.  I wish they had done alittle more work on the FPS part of the game its seems alittle stiff but the game is great.

I'm about 15 hours in and really enjoying it.  I'm not a "single player or RPG" type of gamer and have not played any other bioware games.  I love GOW & COD4.

This is one of the few games my wife enjoys watching me play so that makes it a lot easier to put the hours in. 

There are a lot of "little" issues but the overall game is good.  I wish the controller shook more when you were getting hit, because I'll be busy shooting one person and someone else is shooting me but by the time I look at my health it's too late.

I usually don't play RPGs because I find it hard to keep track of all the different storylines and missions but this does a good job of logging everything you need to do in case you forget.

It took me about 32 hours to complete and get the completionist achievement.  I'm tempted to go back and playthrough again skipping all the sidequests and making darker decisions.
