Star trekkin accross the universe always going forward cos we cant find reverse!!
Enough waffle is the second in the series better ??? hmm!! Yes and no!! Though i have scored it highly (i felt it had to have higher than a nine) there are some minor issues, whether they are present on the 360 version (which uses a different engine) i cant comment, on the ps3 however the visuals arnt quite the same as i remember. Having said this still quite stunning.
They're are small differences from the first as in the enemies now drop ammo you pick up, some hidden areas unlocked by a mini circuit game can explored. I especially enjoyed the mini games such as planet scanning (quite a change and relaxing) to hunt for elements for research, this then aids you in developments in weapons and armour.
The story is still as captivating as ever with dialogue again feeling easier to interact with surroundings and alien meetings along the way. Again i didn't pay to much attention in the first one, here its quite crucial you find out info to find your objective partners or "pals" to build your team.
So much has been carried over and tweaked such as the power wheel and weapon wheel. Though it seems easier to control your team mates by pushing appropriate direction on the d pad. Some new powers are now available such as ice freeze and flames!!! Combat in mass effect 2 is so much better than previously adapted, maybe this is the new engine they have used (from the third instalment yet to arrive on Microsoft's system), honestly you feel very star wars when the fighting starts its amazing. Some really nice guns to use and swarms (*sometimes) of enemies to persecute with your multi phasic laser (pulse rifle) or snipe (limited ammo) your enemy, married with your powers and your squads (which is fully customisable) powers makes a very nice experience.
Imagine blade runner visuals with star wars combat and an RPG sci-fi style.
With so much to explore and every planet different, research weapons, armour, planets, relationships with other races, a captivating story, combat even rambo would love and visuals better looking any 12 year old pubescent pop star poster, some games will live on forever.
