A true epic from BioWare
User Rating: 9.5 | Mass Effect 2 X360
Mass Effect 2 is just a pure epic masterpiece. The gameplay is solid and smooth, there is a ton of things to do. The new feature were very well done. The only nags about the game are a few graphical hiccups and, it may just be my xbox, i dont know, but some of the faster paced cinematic had a little lag. But that was really it. The characters seemed more fluid and real in this game. They didnt seem as robotic and stiff as the first game did. The new ability to upgrade your weapons and ship was a nice feature. From what i hear, if you dont fully upgrade your weapons and ship, the ending stretch plays out a little differently. The controls are still sharp and using powers and abilities is easy and shortly after you start the game, it becomes second nature. The game puts in more humor this time around. If you take to time to talk with people, you will get a good laugh listening to them sometimes. The source of income to upgrade you stuff can be tedious, but it is still a good addition to be able to scan planets for resources. The ability to transfer characters is a nice add-on and when you finish the game, you can still save your character for when mass-effect 3 and/or replay the game on a harder difficulty, while still keeping you high level. Overall, it is a must buy for any shooter/rpg fan. GET IT!!!!
