Summary: Doesn't live up to the first one.
Comment: I bought this game excpecting more of Mass Effect 2, what I got was a first person shooter. They took out all the elements that made ME1 such a good game and have made a hollowed out shadow of the series' former glory. It looks good, it sounds good, and it's an okay game to play, but I was expecting much more than I got.

Summary: Mass Effect 2
Comment: This game is simply amazing. This has quickly become one of, if not the best, video game I have ever played. The story is so good and the characters are so well done. I love all the dialogue that you can share with every interaction. Another great addition to the conversation system is the ability to take certain actions by pulling one of the trigger buttons during dialogue. It really made you feel much more involved in the actual interaction with people because some times you just want to punch some idiot in the face for going on too long.

The combat systems is hugely improved. One of my only complaints with the original is that you could only map out one biotic/tech power to a quick use button. In this one you can map out up to 5. 3 for yourself and 1 for each companion you have out with you. The only thing I didn't like in this game's combat system is a switch over to ammunition as apposed to the first games overheat system. It felt out of place at first but quickly became natural.

Cinematics and graphics in this game are beautiful and really draw you into the story. There are several points in the game where the cinematics got me cheering at my T.V. because of just how awesome the things going on on screen were.

Also another huge improvement from the original was the level design for side quests. Every side quest has a well put together world with a mission on it that involves more than just driving around until you find a building to enter.

Mass Effect 2 is a very very good game that I would recommend to anyone.

Summary: The 2nd installment of one of the best videogame series of all time.
Comment: The gameplay is absolutely superb with very tight TPS shooting controls, and fun biotic powers. The RPG elements are more behind the scenes than in ME1, but I think this can be a good thing, and puts more focus on the action. The traveling is most streamlined without the garbage Mako, and that is definitely a plus.

The story is probably the only disappointment, but only because it is only SLIGHTLY behind that of ME1. This does not mean that the story is not absolutely brilliant, because it is. Believe me when I say that it rivals that of any great book you have ever read.
