Mass effect 2 was a good follow up to me1. It did alot of things better then me1 like graphics, gameplay, and storie. It had great new party members and so cool new weponds and side stories. the sound was great and i still play it to this day. The bad thing is the overall dumbed down rpg elements of this game. Everything was made so people who never played one could play this ezer. Armor and wepons are all the say almost just some minor tweeks.However This is a must have if you are a mass effect fan
After I fell in love with the first Mass Effect, I was quick to play the second. Side missions are great. Main storyline is even better.

Mass Effect 2 followed up the original with graphics that are breathtaking, an incredible story arc, and additive gameplay. The story is the same as the last where you have to save the galaxy from extintion, but this time the story is much deeper, where every choice you make impacts the game. And the characters were created with such realism and humanity that you actually feel like their in the room with you. You feel like the romance options aren't just characters, but real people you have feelings for. The gameplay is also more refined and intuitive than the original, with hotkeys for biotics, and better controls for your allies. The biotics are much more improve, with the cumbersome wheel from the first game being replaced by a much more streamlined system, allowing you to map powers to the button of your choosing. And the replay value is exceptional. The story can end a thousand different ways, and every decision leaves you wondering, what ele could I have done. All in all, this is without a doubt a game you need to buy.
I played a little of Mass Effect. I never got too much into it, however I did play enough to realize that the second one is much more polished than the first. The combat is much smoother. You have complete freedom in this one. You're the commander of your own ship and you may choose to help or ignore your crew. You may choose to be impatient and act violently or talk out your frustrations and think logically (a lot like Fallout 3). I have not completed the game yet but I have played it for quite some time now. It has amazing graphics and great gameplay. A lot of side missions to gain the loyalty of your crew as well. And a funny little thing too I like about it is you can probe worlds for credits and resources, and sometimes to find a place to land. Overall, this game is worth every penny.
