Let me guess, you think that ME2 is somehow threatening to MGS4 (which is nearly 2 years old now) that you feel the need to lash out against it. Do I have that about right?
Mass Effect 2 is not a movie, at all. Neither is MGS4. MGS4 has more gameplay than 95% of all FPS games. The 9 hours of cut-scenes are just the icing. @the person who said ME2 looks and played better: When it comes to visuals, are you talking about PC or 360 version? The PC version is no doubt superior looking, however, I'd say MGS4 looks better than ME2 on 360. Also, MGS4 is the superior game.

I was referring to the 360 version looking better, and imo it does which isnt an insult to Kojima or the PS3 seeing as its been 2 years since MGS4 was released.
As for which is better, i'd say ME2 by a long long shot and yes i've played both, but we're all entitled to our opinions.
The day games stop trying to be like movies will be a great day. If I wanted "cinematic" I'd watch The Godfather.

Well better get use to it. I am. But I think my point still stands. I didn't mean it in a harsh way. It just looks like more devs are going try to make their titles feel and play more cinematic.

I do agree MGS4 did have a decent amount of gameplay (I had to have 7-8 hours of just gameplay) But LOL MGS4 is not the better game. It isn't even the best MGS title IMO of course.
That's probably the worst insult/diss I've heard about ME2. You should really play both MGS4 and ME2 then decide which one's a movie. HINT: It's called MOVIE Gear Solid for a reason ;)

And I apologize if i came off as harsh. And I'm all for cinematic to a certain extent. But when you start sacrificing game for presentation *coughFFXIIIcough*, then I begin to have a problem. Mass Effect 2 is guilty of it as well.
Ok, Metal Gear Solid 4 was my favourite game of 2008 (and my favourite PS3 game overall), but even I am not blind to the fact that the game contains large amounts of lengthy cutscenes, dwarfing any cutscenes present in Mass Effect 2. The gameplay-to-cutscene ratio in MGS4 is much lower than it is in ME2 and as posters have already stated, in ME2 you can at least choose what your character says. Does it make either games worse? No, that is merely how they were designed and both prosper from the choices they made
Mass Effect2 its 100% Real time Not many Cinematics (If any at all ) because even the Cinematics have Interaction cant recall any part of Mass effect that i wasent in control exept maybe the intro part of the gameother then that its all gameplay

There aren't that many cutscenes in the game that aren't interactive. In fact, I can only think of a few and they're the 30 second cutscenes that occur when you enter a new environment. OP fails, hasn't played the game. ME2 has more gameplay than MGS4 and FFXIII, both of which you could just "play" on youtube.
