Great game just a few gripes. To begin i do not think that taking out the mako was a good thing i personally enjoyed driving around a planet and fighting thresher maws, (also between you and me driving around and and prospecting minerals sounds like a funner "hide and seek" game then scanning a planet 50 times over ESPECIALLY if you already did a playthrough.) The only other thing that grinds thy gears is the inventory system, yes the first one was a bit annoying to manage but in ME2 they made it so it doesn't even exist and because of that it take out a lot of the RPG elements away. I think the ammo becoming powers was a good decision but taking away the squad armor customization and dumbing down Shepard's was just unnecessary. Mainly because it didn't feel like you were getting any stronger while advancing through the game just your skills at shooting which is good and all but when its core should be an RPG like the first game it just feels like their just changing genres on us. All and all they're more pros then cons but if you played the first one and like RPG a little more you may feel like they did a little more then fix some bugs.
