Mass Effect Hints
Xbox Version
1 of 2: When you start the minigame, you'll see four colored buttons corresponding to the face buttons on your controller. One of the four buttons -- randomly chosen each time you play the game -- will light up, and you must press the corresponding button on your controller fairly quickly. If you wait too long or press the wrong button, you'll lose the minigame.
2 of 2: The total number of buttons you need to press generally seems to be anywhere between 3 and 9, and seems to vary with the skill required for the object and perhaps the skill of your party members.
