Fixed all defects of prequel, and enjoyable to the last skirmish. FPS and adventure experience to remember.
The tedious details bored me, and action failed to keep an even level that I could follow.
Mass Effect is much more streamlined, and the story keeps the pace much better. I followed mission after a mission, with eager plunge into nearly all side-quests. Immersion in the fantasy world was nearly complete, and it left me impatiently waiting for the sequel...
The world is so deep, and so rich in details, that each time I completed a mission, there seemed to be no end to it. One could easily imagine game designers extending Mass Effect 2 into an open or even MMORPG game that is continuously enriched with new missions, and for which one would gladly pay subscription fee... Much more gladly than for WoW, I must say
