The action, rather than the all-linear affair of ME 2, will be more along the lines of Uncharted. Character customisation will be as extensive as ever. The Rachni decision may haunt you in ME 3. Visually it's tapping the heels of games such as Killzone 3 and Crysis 2, with 6 months development time left. Gunfights are quicker and more deadly (confirmation).
