Mass Effect 2 is a strong sequal to its predessesor, if not a better game entirely.

User Rating: 10 | Mass Effect 2 X360
Mass Effect 2 is a great game on its own but combined with one it makes for one of the best if not the best RPG on the XBOX 360. A few years ago if somebody had told me that a game could import my desisions from the fisrt one to affect the outcome of two, I would have laughed in there face and said where is the proof. The Proof my freinds is Mass Effect. Weather your a newcomer thorugh two or a returning fan everything tha made one an epic game returns and makes 2 just as epic.

Shoot me for saying this but Mass Effects story line is good, alittle cliche' for certain elements but considering just how much you decisions affect the outcome of the game I'm willing to cut it slack. A challenge in a game is giving characters, a deep fitting background for all especially in and RPG, if the characters are bad your experince with the game is short lived once you beat it. I do have my favorites in the series but after playing Mass Effect 2 you really start to care for each of your party members, where you hate to see any perrish in the last mission. Thats another thing I can say about Shepard, him being voiced gives him a personality to your liking, and because of that makes him stand out as a character so much more that other custom created characters.

Shooters are not exactly my forte', there are those out there who question the RPG elements of Mass Effect, but they are there and it is just as much an RPG as Final Fantasy or Baldur's Gate. This is coming from a JRPG Fan so take that for what it is worth. The thing that shocked me most with this game was things that carried over from one. Say you choose to save the *Minor Spoiler* The Rachni Queen she will talk to you and give you and update about there current situation thanking you* End of Minor Spoiler* Another is depending on who you fell in love with at the end of two, will win you a couple of extra dialouge scences.

If you have not tried Mass Effect 2, Heck if you have not played both games, what the heck are you waiting for get them now. All Three games are definetly going to go down in history as some of the best titles seen this gen. And with BioWare in charge of the Normandy flight plans its no wonder why they pulled it off so well. 10/10

*Warning both are so amazing that you might find a Mass Effect in the back of your pants, while playing* Might have just stolen that from Adam Sessler from X-Play
