Best Sci-fi RPG out there
PostedApril 3, 2011
The Game altogether was fantastic, probably one of the best game you'll ever play. The story isn't as great as its predecessors but amazing nonetheless.
Gameplay: Great gameplay and great story, ME2 spends more time going into detail about your squad mates and has a great main story altogether, if a little less pleasing then ME1's main story. The leveling system has been revamped along with the weapons and armor system, if you've played ME1 it's going to seem odd at first but once you get use to it you'll find it more pleasing.
Sound and graphic: ME has always had a cinematic feel partly because the story keeps you on the edge of your seat but also because of the fantastic sounds and graphics. Sound like in ME1 was great, great voice acting and realistic sound effect real add to the cinematic value of the game. Graphic are top great, at the right settings the cut scenes make you feel like you’re watching a movie.
Lasting appeal: ME2 like ME1 is a game you’re just going to want to play again and again. If you’re looking for a interesting and in-depth story then this is the game for you
Mass effect 1 was a great story and rpg. First off you should play M. E. 1 before you play this. The good. 1. The graphics are great, not amazing. The animations and character models are very realistic and make this a great cinematic experience. The universe is huge and dozens of planets to explore. The cut scenes are also very well done. 2. The story is good. I felt that the first M.E. had a better story, but with the elusive man, Great deep characters, and plenty of fun side quests make the storyline well above most rpgs. 3. Game play is wayyyy better than the first M. E. Your squad mates react to your command much better and the A I make the game more fun. The cover system rivals most shooters such as Gears of War and Socom. The weapons are very unique and fit the game perfectly. 4. The amount of content in this game is ridiculous. The main story line w/o any sidequests is easily 17+ hrs. Add in the sidequests, miscellaneous quests, dlc, and the game is easily 60+ hrs. You get the best bang for the buck with this game. Its a hybrid of gametypes. Rpg, action, and adventure. 5. The characters such as Jack, Garrus, Maranda, Thane, and Tali are very cool, unique, and deep characters. The voice acting is great and the relationship possibilities make this game a truly great rpg. Your squad mates react to every choice and line you choose to say. Its 1 of the deepest rpgs. Jack is the deepest, unique, and craziest character ive ever seen in a video game. The developers put alot of time and heart into making 1 of the coolest side characters in video game history. If you play this game you should really try to get on her good side, do her sidequests and pursue a relationship. You'll have so much fun just finding out her past and letting her open up. Btw maranda maybe hot, but she's a btch. Pursue a relationship with either jack or tali. 6. The bad. The game doesnt bring in enough content from the previous M.E. The only returning squad mate is Garrus and i feel they should have added at least 2 others. But if you havent played the first then this doesnt matter. The lack of weapon customization and stats take away from the rpg experience and bring down the gameplay a little bit. The character progression isnt as deep and the first and leans more towards an action game than an rpg. And the final boss doesnt make much sense. Its funn and the quests leading up to the ending are epic, but they could have thought out a better ending. Any1 who ownes a Xbox 360 or ps3 and is 17 or older should give this game a try. Even with these gripes, Mass effect 2 is 1 of the best rpg's of all time a top game in this generation. I would give this game a 97%. Its not perfect but is up to par with Red Dead, Gta 4, and Uncharted 2. But clearly stands as the best rpg on todays consoles.
this game is so good there is so much to do. Even after you beat it you just want to play it again and again

Best Game I've Ever Played
PostedMarch 22, 2011
I loved every minute of this game. From the moment I started playing Mass Effect 1 I was instantly hooked. Now Bioware has done the impossible and made a game that was already close to perfection even better. Mass Effect 2 has tweaked the few things that gamers didn't like in the first and left us with a game that will always be remembered. If you haven't bought this game, if you've never even heard of Mass Effect, what are you waiting for?? Go buy this game at your nearest Gamestop right now, I promise you it will be one of the best games you will ever buy.
