I don’t often buy games on release day; I’m far too cheap for that. However, I made an exception for Mass Effect 2. Oh, how I have been rewarded! I got home and found this lovely little package of joy waiting for me. I hungrily opened it and pelted my way to the 360.
6 hours later, and a bladder held full to the point of explosion I finally went to bed, via a long toilet pit stop. The previous 2 hours were spent insanely muttering “Just one more save point!” to the cat, who sat there judging me. I’m sure it shook it’s head in disgust.
I won’t delve into the story too much; I don’t want to spoil it for you. But it is quite simply a masterfully written RPG. Bioware never ever disappoint when it comes to a story, I tip my hat to the writers. The plot is immersive and addictive. Not to mention you can load your character from the first game and the choices you made in that directly effect your story in this.
Nearly everything is a marked improvement on the excellent first instalment. Better dialogue, better graphics and the side missions actually have varying environments. The first just had the same basic level slightly altered, it did become extremely irritating. Speaking of irritating, I demand that the person who designed the planet scanning portion of Mass Effect 2 receive a public flogging. You tit.
If you have an Xbox 360 and do not own this game then you should have a good long look at yourself and try to figure out where it all went wrong in your life.
You must own this.
