"Mass Effect 3 has frame-rate issues on PS3, suggests a report. The previously-released demo of the action role-playing game had some notable slowdown, a problem that persists through to the full game, according to Digital Foundry. The PS3 version struggles to maintain a smooth 30 frames per second during some cutscenes with multiple characters and transparent alpha effects.  Exploring the environment also sees the game slow down by as much as a third to 20 frames per second for &amp;quot;regular stretches&amp;quot;. While the Xbox 360 version falters in similar areas, it is &amp;quot;never quite as much&amp;quot;, with only some &amp;quot;occasional blips&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;However, with retail code of the new game now available, we can confirm that performance on the final PS3 release is extremely similar, if not identical to that of the stuttering demo code,&amp;quot; said the report. &amp;quot;Bearing in mind that the days of major differences between PS3 and Xbox 360 games are largely a thing of the past, this is clearly a disappointment - not just from a visual perspective, but also in terms of gameplay as the frame-rate dips impact controller response during shoot-outs to a certain extent.&amp;quot; Mass Effect 3 is available now on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC worldwide, but will not be stocked by GAME. &amp;gt; Read our review of Mass Effect 3 Watch the launch trailer for Mass Effect 3 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
