I said in an old post that Mass Effect was my favourite game that was until I played Mass Effect 2. I though the game could not get any better but they proved me wrong and the game was perfect. At first there were a few things that made me think they should have left that how it was like you now need ammo for your weapons instead of them over heating, but when you played it for 60 hours over 3 days like I did you know you have a special game in your hands.
I played two play thought’s one with my character imported one with out, I wanted to see how much of a difference it made and I can tell you from the decisions I make in ME there was allot. The first game I played was a new character, it made it as if I made all the bad decisions as in I let the council die. When I played my second play though I saved the council and because I did this I was reinstated as a Spectre, and I saved Wrex who then became a clan leader of the Krogan’s. Now I think that is awesome that there were able to show you how the people you helped lived there life over the two years that was in-between the games and if they continue this into the third game and able able to show you all characters from both games that will be achievement in its self.
They have improved the combat leaving it as a third person shooter with the RPG leveling system, but making it a lot smoother but you still have you combat menus for when you are in tight spots but being able to have three powers set to hot keys allow quick combo’s to deal massive damage. They have added in heavy weapons which will save your life more than once and you are now able to upgrade weapons instead of having to find or buy different types. As well as weapons armour is upgradeable to give you different stats to help in different ways and you can also customise the colour to bring out your own style.
The achievements are easier and less time consuming than ME which is good but it does not matter if you get them all or not you will still want to try out all the new classes that were put into ME2. I still have some to try out and I am looking forward to playing them.
Going to have to stop there just like the first I could talk about so much but I don’t want you all to get bored. I hope you enjoy playing this game as much as I did and looking forward to the next Mass Effect.
