Mass Effect 2, wether it's the epic story line, lovable characters or the outstanding gameplay, everyone can find a reason to love this game. The story will take you on a epic sci-fi adventure with the universes toughest team of heroes. Every character was rememerable and very likable, and I got really attached too. The soundtrack was very oustanding by Jack Wall, it was just so well done. Can not think of a reason on why Mass Effect 2 shouldn't get this award.
