Just what the doctor ordered!
Here goes...
From the opening cinematic scene to the first battle, I knew my social life was temporarily over. This game has got me hooked like a dope fiend on the East side of town.
I am a very social guy, some would dub me a social whore. But for the time being all that is gone. I think, eat, sleep, and smoke Mass Effect 2.
From flying around the Galaxy probing/extracting the elements out of planets to the immersing dialogue enjoying the soft skills that guide you through this large galaxy are just the icing on the cake.
The graphics smack you in the face and make your eyes dry up from lack of blinking. The New Normandy is a magnificent 4 floors of time and effort that Bioware made marvelous. The new and old characters are great all with their own story and separate missions.
Then we get in to the combat. This is a diverse mixture of mayhem to strategic/slick action packed shoot outs. Think of the new Star Trek movie on speed.
You can customize your armour suit with different patterns and colours. You can replace the original parts with different bits which each have their own attributes.
The weapons are amazing with the upgrades just adding to the power and precision.
Then you realized I haven't even touched my skills. From slamming opponents with biotec energy to lifting them hovering into the air with pot shots following it, just makes these battles fierce.
The different types of biotec ammo make strategic fighting even more exciting.
I just cant get enough and it makes me sad to know I will finish this game because I don't want it to end...
Quite possibly in my mind Game of the year material... and its only March!
