Mass Effect Two
1 of 3 found this helpful The world of Mass Effect is full of intrigue, excitement, random acts of kindness (or violence, depending on your disposition), and boring mind-numbing mini-games that will leave you scratching your head as to why they were allowed in the game in the first place. Playing Mass Effect (1) is a must as you can import your character from the first game, along with all the choices you made along the way, which lead to exciting, and interesting plot turns. Here is a list of Pros and Cons for Mass Effect Two:
Pros:
Improved combat - You no longer feel like a badass who can walk in and destroy a place without much effort. Even on Insanity (in Mass 1) you get to the point where you can pretty much walk in the open and destroy anything that comes at you.
Improved Graphics - Amazing visuals, much better than the first
Improved Dialogue - If you didn't think it was possible...well, it is. Relationships are expanded and you actually feel like you are getting to know the character as opposed to just hitting random dialogue choices.
Normandy - The Normandy (this time around) is a lot of fun to explore, there are loads of areas which you will actually use, as opposed to the first game where you only really ever use the Star Map
Cons:
BRING BACK THE MAKO! I cannot be the only person who enjoyed that little guy, I hate the planet scanning missions.
Loyalty missions - while bringing in wanted Achievement Points - really are a drag...most of them consist of "fetch this person, fight through this group of people to get to him, talk to him...make a decision whether to keep him/her alive, you're done"
Minigames- I hated the constant code snippet and hack minigames, so boring.
TOO SHORT - The overall mission took little to no time to complete, and had I not done all the loyalty missions I probably could have finished the game in less than 10 hrs.
Final Boss....wow...I don't even know what to say...I thought you were better than this Mass Effect, I thought you were better than this
Overall the game is amazing and I encourage everyone to give it a shot! Make sure you play the first one before ME2 though.
