I know you have to play through twice to get to the insane mode. I was wondering if the insane mode offered a great challenge where you really have to think about the tyoe of upgrades you are using in order to get by in the game at that mode. I have noticed that the first two arent that challenging so i was sondering if it would be worth my while to get to that point?

I beaten the game once and loved it but no matter how good the game is i cannot play it more then once just because i know pretty much whats gonna happen... I know there is split paths in the story but that just isnt enough for me to play it a 2nd time. Cant wait for mass effect 2 though. :D

In insane mode does it offer a more challenging time than the first two play through difficulties?

Probably 7-8, considering the ally achievements and the difficulty ones.

Some things are still pretty easy, though Geth Colossi are horrendous, especially when accompanied by other Geth.

Just one. I never play through games more than once because I already know what happens in the game.

I'm on my fourth, not counting a couple of partial playthroughs for skill grinding. I'd like to finish my current playthrough and do one more before ME2 comes out.

I know you have to play through twice to get to the insane mode.

ive beat it 2x. started a 3rd but i just lost interest. but to answer your Q. i havent really come across in any tough spots. the 1st time through (played with 2 dif. characters) i had gotten all the best armor, guns, amps etc i could find. so you should be fine if you want to play on insane (amusing you actually tried to get the best weapons etc.). the AI is a lil more tactical and they have greater shielding besides that, thats about it.
I beaten the game once and loved it but no matter how good the game is i cannot play it more then once just because i know pretty much whats gonna happen...doughb0y
Agreed for the most part....excluding a few of my fav games

So story is more important to you than gameplay? I always try to play games I like, more than once. I often enjoy the second play through more than the first. Halo CE, Half-Life 2, Mass Effect, Ninja Gaiden, Mirrors Edge and God of War are some examples of games I've enjoyed a lot more on my second playthrough. I've beat Mass Effect twice. I'm on my third. This time I'm aiming for as much Renegade as possible and trying to get to Level 60. I might also try for the soldier and sentinel ally achievements.

I maxed out way too early. I build my level up faster by getting out of the Mako to destroy targets on planets. Or you can use the level up glitch that I found. I tried it after the final update, and the glitch is still there...
