(Here is the review I wrote on Mass Effect 2)

*WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

|My Input|
Mass. Effect. 2. Probably the greatest game I have ever played. The game-play is fantastic, graphics are awesome, and the story is superb. Mass Effect 2 is an exhilarating space epic that puts you in the shoes of Commander Shepard two years after the Normandy was attacked and destroyed, taking Shepard with it. His body was recovered by Cerberus and is literally rebuilt. Now back on his feet, Commander Shepard must put together a new team, stop the collectors, and stop the reapers.

I honestly had so much fun playing this game. Not once did I ever tire of it, and was always anticipating what would happen next. Bioware has outdone themselves in Mass Effect 2, making it a masterpiece among video games. I liked how there's some humor put into the game, making it all the more enjoyable. Mass Effect really knows how to take the old cliche of good vs bad and turn it into something exciting and awesome.

|Pros and Cons|
Pros
1. Storyline: The storyline of Mass Effect is one of the best I have seen in a video game.
2. Upgrades/Modifications: With the new upgrades, I found things to be much more organized, making things a little easier instead of carrying around 12 suits of armor. It was also good that it lets you upgrade your weapons.
3. Weapons/Creating Weapons: Same thing applies to the weapons, it was more organized. You weren't finding 20 of the same gun all the time. On top of this, you were able to create some of your own guns, which was cool.
4. New Partners: The new partners of ME2 are all unique and have interesting back stories.
5. Cameos: It's cool that they brought back some of the old characters from ME1. And hey, it's always nice to see Anderson and Wrex again! :D

Cons
1. Exploration: Discovering planets and exploring them isn't what it use to be in ME1. It's more confined when exploring planets.
2. Mineral Searching: This was probably the most tedious thing in the game.
3. Game Length: I know this was an issue to some. Basically, if you stick to the main storyline and don't do any side missions, the game can be pretty short.

|My Ratings|
I'm just going to say that everything was 9-10, just to save us from what we already know. :)

|Final Input|
Again, Mass Effect 2 is just amazing. Don't let the cons scare you from playing it, though. Exploration and mineral searching aren't terrible, and when you start playing ME2, you won't want it to end quickly! So if you don't own the game already, what are you waiting for? Go buy it!

Until next time,
