| Here's a somewhat short review on mass effect | | | | The sequel is a lot more of a first-person shooter |
| 2. If you played the first mass effect than you | | | | than the previous game. In fact I would say this |
| definitely know that one of the greatest things | | | | one is more of a first-person shooter with a very |
| about the first one was how you were propelled | | | | well done and detailed storyline with great realistic |
| to complete the storyline in its entirety to learn | | | | party members. The guns can no longer overheat |
| more about the conflicts between the races in | | | | instead you have limited ammo that is usually not |
| what happens with the reapers. The game starts | | | | a problem to replenish. The new delay between |
| very shortly after the previous one and Shepard | | | | shooting that was overheating previously is now |
| is now a human hero. A very cool thing is that if | | | | simply reloading your gun like in most first-person |
| you have your save file from the first game this | | | | shooters |
| will affect many things in the sequel depending on | | | | You'll have many party members and all of them |
| the decisions you previously took. | | | | have special abilities that can get unlocked when |
| Mass effect 2 is more of the same but with | | | | you do specific side quests for them. You also |
| many great changes such as you no longer have | | | | probably find many other upgrades for your help |
| an inventory like in most normal RPG's. Instead | | | | armor and weapons during the side quests. |
| you now find specific weapons during your travels | | | | However the game is pretty easy so if you do |
| and a way to make them better is by upgrading | | | | not feel like doing them you definitely do not need |
| them using minerals that you can find from | | | | the upgrades to complete the game. |
| exploring the galaxy. In fact I would start by | | | | Even though the game was designed for the |
| saying that my biggest and probably only negative | | | | Xbox 360 again the visuals look a lot better and |
| point about mass effect 2 is the galaxy exploring | | | | much more fluid especially the PC version that has |
| which gets very repetitive and a major time sink | | | | almost no loading times now compared to before. |
| compared to the other 90% of the game that is | | | | Yes, there are no more elevator loading times! |
| just fast paced and an extremely fun. You'll get | | | | Finally, while the story is great it might leave you |
| very quickly tired of hearing "probe away" while | | | | a bit dissatisfied because like they previously |
| scanning a planet for resources. Luckily on the | | | | announced, mass effect will be a trilogy so not |
| computer you can adjust your mouse speed to | | | | everything can be solved by the end of this |
| make it go quicker, an advantage Xbox 360 users | | | | second chapter. |
