Mass Effect 2 (DVD-ROM)

A must have for anyone who plays Mass Effect 1, also a must have to anyone who enjoys a good storyline :D

I didn't play the original, but I've been very impressed by Mass Effect 2. It's not as open and rich/detailed as a standard RPG, but there's a strong story line and enough to keep you entertained. Characters could be more fully drawn out to enhance the experience.
However, this game really comes into its own when you start the missions. They work very well, with a good combination of simple but interesting weapons and abilitys and a mechanism for taking cover and firing that works very well. It's very immersive and you get a real sense of being involved. Great adrenaline boost for an RPG. All up a very fun game, and with a little more polish and depth, could be more enjoyable than many other RPGs.
I rate this up with Dragon Age and would choose ME2 as a better game to play in smaller bursts (for busy people).

Simply the best RPG made to date. If you haven't played ME1, I recommend playing through that first.

I reviewed the 360 game, I only got this one for a friend. But yeah, amazing game.
Also, I lol'd at "Inequal opportunity" guy
because games with gay sex tend to do REALLY well
There's no such word as inequal. ME2 is awesome.

There's no doubt about it - Mass Effect is shaping up to be one of the most epic video game sagas of the recent years. Mass Effect two follows on directly from the original game, and the highly-anticipated third installment will conclude the storyline.

This game is a highly charged-up offering focusing much more on the action and gunplay elements of the Mass Effect system. It keeps the class-based character development but has simplified and refined it greatly: instead of a mess of talents you had to spend points in (some of which were ambiguous to the average gamer) each class now has only a handful, but most of these are cool abilities and their upgrades rather than passive increases.

The Mako is gone, but is has been replaced with something equally tedious - scanning and probing planets for minerals used to upgrade weapons and armor. So there's no more random exploration - instead you just view the planet as a whole, scan it for mineral deposits and click to launch a probe. It's time consuming and quickly gets old, especially on repeat playthroughs.

Aside from this it's a solid space shooter/RPG with terrific continuity from the first game, and all of the original's charms updated into a new system.
