Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect in my opinion was a great game, before it I wasn’t really a RPG guy, i found them fun to begin with, but just lost interest. This game changed that around and after completing it I moved on to GTA and other RPG game I had. So here is my thoughts on the sequel Mass Effect 2. Yes thats it, no added tag line that most games use to sell more copies by adding a mysterious few words which seem to drag people in. I haven’t finished the game yet so this isnt really a proper review more a rambling of things I like and stuff! You play as Sheppard again hooray! You are told that you die and get brought back to life by a seemingly ok corporation, but you soon get told that they are bad. Anyway, you get woken up before you should have done leaving scars on your face, probably trying to add to his heroic status. Below I am listing a few things different from the first game, oops I dont really remember much, but here goes.

  • You get the Normandy back and you are in command.
  • You get new people to follow you the only remaining ones are Garrus & Tali.
  • There is no real inventory, which some hardcore rpg fans will not like.
  • You can scan planets for resources and send probes to collect it.
  • There are still biotic powers.
  • The enemies seem to be more annoying and hard to kill.
  • The damage system drives me crazy the red scar tissue effect when taking damage is awful and looks comic like.
  • You can gain loyalty from the members of the team by doing personal missions for them.
  • You can still have a little romance!

So above are a few things that I can remember from the game, one of the main characters is played by Yvonne Strahovski who is also in Chuck on NBC which I thought was quite cool. The download content gives you some armour, a chance to find the old Normandy crash site and 2 more characters. This probably wont be enough to make you buy it so check these links out!
