“Mass Effect 2 is more then just a sequel to the 2007 hit-game. It is that and so so so much more. The game is a true blend of action and role-playing. While it is true that The game does not have an Inventory screen. It still allows you to get items and stuff to raise youre stats. Also It is possibly the most cinematic game I have ever played. Everything from talking to Characters to defeating the evil forces in the galaxy. The camera views, music, and espically the voice acting is just simply amazing and makes you on more then one ocassion think youre watching a movie. Mass Effect 2 should be played by any gamer with a pulse. While it may leave some Die hard RPGists dissapointed. Its still is an enjoyable game that will eat many, many of youre weekends away. So what are you waiting for?! GO PLAY IT!!!!”

“(Possible SPOILERS)The sequel gave me what I wanted: more interaction with my squadmates. However, this entire game is nothing but that. It doesn't have the epic feel of the first one and as such, I cannot say that this game is better. Sure I got my teammates through the danger, all unscathed. This was supposed to be a suicide mission but I never felt any danger. I did however feel very frustrated, quite often. While the mechanics of shooting has improved tenfold, this game also makes you rely on having to shoot way too much. The biotics and techs were dumbed down until you got the baddies to just their health. Then all it took was a good head shot and they went down, no matter if they were a giant mech or a tiny trooper. So far I've only played as the soldier, since that was my first class in the first game, and I totally feel cheated. While my character didn't have special powers, my teammates were all but useless until I was able to bust down shields and barriers for them to do any damage.
So, while this game is awesome, in and of itself, it is not an awesome Mass Effect sequel. I got my character interaction, but that's the entire game. There isn't really a sense of threat from the Reapers, and the main baddie doesn't have a voice, like Saren and even Sovereign. Harbinger was in it for half a second and then you didn't even get to kill him. The shooter mechanics were amped, but it gimped the not shooter battler. I recommend this game, but not as a Mass Effect game.”
