I think you just described why people play games... Why should we elaborate what you already know, or ruin what youre hoping to discover?

Try the demo for 2, and then buy the first, THEN get 2, to paraphrase someone else in another thread, you don't get into The Lord Of The Rings from The Two Towers.

True. But never compare The Lord of The Rings to Mass Effect. Never.

A: Someone else said it.

B: I'm not saying they are alike, it's just the most famous trilogy that everyone has at least heard of, now calm down.

I know that not every game is for everyone, but why do people still ask if ME2 is as good as it seems or worth buying when it got great reviews just about everywhere and several game of the year nods. If you have any form of interest in RPGs or shooters, I think the odds are in your favor that you will enjoy this game.

Nope, truth be told, Lord of the Rings and Mass Effect have a lot in common. They obiviously both are trilogies, have a group of characters, that even though work together to achieve a common goal, they also have their own personal goals. They both show elements about reality in a no realistic sense, all the religious and political problems etc.

but any how on topic

I enjoy a broad spectrum of games, rts, racing, shooters, rpgs, puzzle, adventure and even the occasional point and click adventure. I would have to say Mass Effect is my favorite series on the console, but you have to keep in mind, I do consider Bioware Gods at their trade and I am really bias towards them

ME2 is excellent, but like someone else said try the demo, if you like it then buy it. Unlike someone else said DON'T buy ME1 just because you liked ME2's demo, they aren't that much alike. If you buy the first game because you loved ME2's demo chances are that you'll be disappointed, not saying ME1 is a bad game, just saying they are really different. If you really enjoy ME2 and want to add more to the universe and story then pick up ME1, but if you play through ME2 thoroughly then you should have a good picture of all the key points in ME1.

Personally I thought ME2 was quite boring...It put me to sleep on many occasions.

If you're into the genre and the trailers and/or demos interest you, then it'll be amazing. It's gotten great reception as well. Don't expect perfection though.

If you are new to the Xbox I highly recommend getting Mas Effect 1 and then importing your character. It is a much richer experience.

... Well, clearly lots of people think it's a good game. Just because you may end up not liking it doesn't mean anything really. We will continue to enjoy it. You never even stated why you doubted Mass Effect would be good...

Dude You need to play the first one other wise it wont be as Epic , half the fun of Mass effect 2 is importing your character from ME1 plus the first Mass effect has a original story that is awesome .

whats the difference if you use ur charecter from mass effect1? and people say mass effect 2 to is better then 1 so most likely the story is much better?

You get more resources for one so that means less tedious planet scanning you have to do ... It will all change how the thrid one will play out and to be honest ME1 is a better game .

ME 1 is also more of a RPG while ME2 scrapped alot of elements turning it into a 3rd person shooter with dialouge trees . The depth in ME 1 is better ... People who say ME2 is better are only talking about gun controls and how you cover ME1 is not prefect but an essential part of the universe i mean why play a trilogy and not play the first these games focus so much on story , youll want to know everything thats going on . just my 2 cents .

You get more content side missions and dialogue.

In addition you have more gameplay options.

Don't have high expectations is all I'm saying. Ther is plenty wrong with the game, just so you know. If you go in expecting a flawless title, you will be let down. It is way too overhyped. A good game, but don't set the bar too high.

Well, IGN ranked it as the best Xbox 360 game of all time...

Isn't that self explanatory? Think of all the other games it beat!

You should never build up a game to be perfect. Otherwise you're sure to be disappointed. I knowthat I have been by some recenttop-ratedgames and movies in the last couple of years.

As for what's wrong with it, I have one bigcomplaint. While I think the story is still good, it's broken up too much for my taste when gathering allies and I wish they would have worked that more into the story instead of keeping each character's story separate from the main story.

Why would you buy Mass Effect 2 without Mass Effect? Honestly, what would be the point? Sure, it'll still be a fun game to play, but it loses impact that way.

After playing the demo I had to get the game. I loved it, just get it. It is $20 or less so you don't have anything to lose but about 40 hours of time by playing it

ME 1 failed to draw me into the story, and I grew tired of that game quickly. Maybe I'll grab it for my new pc, I read the game is slow in the beginning and gets alot better later. Is 2 better than the first one?

If you have a powerful PC, there won't be the same technical hitches as on Xbox 360, right?

After playing the demo I had to get the game. I loved it, just get it. It is $20 or less so you don't have anything to lose but about 40 hours of time by playing it

Well IN MY OPINION Mass Effect 2 (and ME1) and the DLC, especially the later DLC , are amazing gaming experiences and not to be missed. I VERY rarely go through a campaign more than once because there's so many other games to play, and especially a long campaign like ME2, but I've played through ME2 three times, so that says a lot...but hey different strokes for different folks..cant wait for ME 3.
