Mass effect 2
PostedNovember 23, 2013
So I had heard about Mass Effect for a LONG time but I'm not much for shooting games, but finally gave the series a shot. AMAZING. ME2 was a little jarring in that they changed the map, journal and fighting style, but I ended up preferring it over ME1, and I thought that how they handled the story in this game worked fairly well.

EA strikes again this being once a great franchise
PostedJuly 18, 2013
ME2 was ruined completely; one being its random mechanic of ammo (not in ME1) almost all role playing games don't have ammo, for a good reason to. In ME1,& 3 there was a moment were you have a chance to buy armor, upgrades, and weapons; for your team! While ME2 had a similar thing but for Shepard alone its stupid! ME1 & 3 will always be superior to ME2 At everything. (EA did avenge its self with ME3) *bravo*
When I picked up the first Mass Effect, I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of detail put into each character and with how deep the story was. Of course the game itself wasn't perfect, with issues of framerate and shallow gameplay options. That being said, the game was perfect in every other way. Mass Effect 2 had big shoes to fill, and my God if this isn't a good game I don't know what is. What makes it good? Pretty much everything from the story, to the Gears of War-esque gameplay, to the graphics.I won't spoil the story for you. The gist of it is that you play a commander of a space ship who is sent out by the good guys to thwart the plans of an evil alien race. It seems simple from the way I say it, but trust me, if you already followed the story of the first Mass Effect, you do NOT want to miss this. The characters are very well thought out, each with his/her own reason for being on your crew. I suggest you talk to each and every one of them if you want to get the most out of this game. The game looks great and that's pretty much all I can say about the graphics. Gameplay has changed for the better in Mass Effect 2. You still have the cover system as in Mass Effect one, but the controls are tighter in 2. If you want to get an idea of what the gameplay is like, think Gears of War, but with squad based strategy. In addition to cover based shooting, you control a squad of two additional characters of your choice. There are a total of around 8 characters to choose from and they are all very useful, which makes the combat all the more exciting. In short if you are an action fan looking for a good shooter-fest, buy this game. If you're into stories, buy this game. If you're into great games. BUY THIS GAME. You won't regret it.

Outstanding Game
PostedApril 30, 2013
This game is without a doubt my favorite game of all I've ever played. The story is really good, especially if you have played the Mass Effect 1 and go on to play Mass Effect 3. The gameplay is also really fun but the best thing about the game is the story and how responds to the way you interact with characters. If you are a fan of RPGs, you must get this game.
