Simply Awesome, get it, stop reading and just buy it, Mass Effect 2 is like an epic interactive movie. PS3 owners now get to see what the fuss is about on their own console. Mass Effect 2 runs an even balance between ease of play and RPG. It still retains a lot of RPG elements, character levelling, weapon & armour upgrades etc, but the game design makes it a seemless interaction. The amount of background data within the game is phenomenal, and its not even necessary to read it but its there anyway, planet data, character profiles, racial profiles, the production behind this is staggering.
The graphics are awesome and maintained throughout the entire game, no change of style just awesome visuals all the way, through with superb audio and voice acting.
The game is a trilogy, unfortunately PS3 owners only get to experience the first game as an interactive comic within Mass Effect 2, that gets you to choose key moments from Mass Effect 1 to help fill-out your characters decisions with this game. Choices you make within Mass Effect 2 will affect the last in the trilogy out in November this year… So dont delete your savegames.
Mass Effect 2 is a Sci-Fi epic that makes the players choices have consequences within the game, which gives the player a feeling of real investment in time and gameplay (prepare to lose a lot of your life playing this game)
Excellent gameplay. Excellent audio and visuals. Excellent game design. Excellent gameplay.
Get it, play it, finish it, and then wait impatiently for Mass Effect 3 :-)
