It has a few issues, but play it for the absolutely incredible story. You won't be disappointed.

ME2 takes place right after ME1. If the opening sequence doesn't pull you in, there's something wrong with you. You almost feel like you are creating a movie as you play.

Plus:
- Great storyline
- Excellent game play
- Great variety of characters; make sure you play each one's mission to gain their loyalty as they relate to the main story line. I found Mordin to be a unique and humorous addition.
- Visually pleasing cinematic cut scenes.
- Excellent replay value as you can change your character to be soldier or biotic or vanguard,etc.
- You can take your ME1 character into ME2; nice option!
- Voice acting other than male Shepard is really good.

Minus:
- The male commander Shepard voice acting improved a little but not much.
- Dialog choices are not as varied as I would like. I found myself hoping for an option that wasn't available.
- Mining planets is tedious. It's a necessary component if you hope to survive the last mission by upgrading the Normandy.
- What happen to the Mako from ME1?
- I'd like to see more variety in the weapons.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend ME2. It's a must if you enjoyed ME1.
