I'm late to the party with this blog, but I am avoiding launch goggles. Put imply, the game is amazing. It's a huge improvement on the first game, which has been getting a lot of retrospective sh*t in the coverage despite the fact the only reason it is 'bad' now is that Mass Effect 2 is so great. Breakdown- POSITIVES. New shooting in a fast-paced Gears vein. Lack of Mako. Martin Sheen. Better character writing. Prettier. You get a fishtank and model ships. Highly simplified inventory and upgrades. Customisable armour. Plenty of humour. DOWNSIDES- you have to feed the fish. Insane is really hard. Not as much Martin Sheen as one would like. Your PA is bad at telling if you have already read your emails. No male/male romance option, making the human female/human female option even more inequitable. An annoying antagonist. It's a super game. The levels are fun, and they are built for episodic play, for those who can't afford to play for hours on end. It's funny how they get the Australian girl to say bloody in her second line, which is the third line of the opening sequence. Cos you know, we all say it all the time. I am really digging this song. It's called How to Tame Lions by Washington from their EP of the same name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBSqgCZWavc, because I can't remember how to link properly. Where the bloody hell are you? Stair out.
