This game is very different from the first. There is less freedom of movement and the game seems guided.

As for the gameplay itself, it seems very boring considering all these scans that you need to do in order to get metals or some new sub quests. In fact the process of scanning is the most annoying part of all; it's the one thing that stops me from playing the game. Personally I played Mass Effect 5 times with almost all the achievements unlocked but Mass Effect 2 I can hardly finish it.

The other drawback is a game being guided as there is no freedom of movement and there are no places to walk to if I choose, there is no feel of freedom. It feels like you are teleporting from one room to second.

The whole game feels like: talking then fighting then talking; it's like a written scenario of some movie. Things don't seem spontaneous. It's boring compared to Mass Effect 1 and other RPG. I know that most of the RPG calculates walking vast distances in the playing hours and this game does not but then again maybe it would be nice if we had to choose. But I guess that would be something completely different, maybe something that is not characteristic to Mass Effect series and that is why I gave 8.5 score to this game.

I won't talk about the technical side of the game because I think that they are done perfect. The voice acting, graphics everything else is awesome.
