Epic's creative head has been comparing BioWare's sci-fi opus to the holy trilogy, Star Wars.

Bleszinski recently spoke of how important he feels Mass Effect has been to the current generation of gamers.

He said: "The thing that was cool was that Mass Effect is kind of an for me, with the cover-based shooting. I think there's a reason why it's been successful. Because gamers love Gears. Here's something that's like Gears, but even has more depth, and a different setting. It's for this new generation."

His comments echo comments made by BioWare's Greg Zeschuk that was designed to be the "Empire Strikes Back of the Mass Effect trilogy".

Thanks MTV Multiplayer.
