First Look-over: Mass Effect 2

MASS EFFECT 2


You are Commander Sheppard! You've saved the galaxy from the Geth in ME1 and now all is peaceful in the galaxy. until the Opening scene when the Normandy is attacked. Your old crew leave your ship but Joker decides to stay, you go to save him and end up dying....... WTF!? just gotta say a hell of an opening scene. It had me hooked from the beginning  I'm sitting there saying to myself, "How can the do a sequel where you end up dying in the first 10 mins of the game!?!?!?" Needless to say the game picks up right away, and keeps the pace going. If you played ME1 or not you get to make the Big decisions from the first game.  So no harm no foul. I Suggest you play the first one, just for the Trilogy feel of the ME universe. Your old crew, or at least some of them, return. My personal favorite recruit is Jack, She is a Bionic experiment, and from first look she just looks like a women who is not to be f**ked with. Then There is Miranda and Jacob, Both work with Cerberus and are great for your team. then there is Grunt... He's a heavy hitter a Krogan clone that joins you just cause he's a bad-ass and wants to spill blood. Then Returning is Garrus, Tali, and i haven't gotten Ashley, i just choose not to lol. Then There is Thane, an assassin who was on his last kill, You find out right away that he is dying. then who i like to refer to as the Jar jar binks of this game Mordin. I have not stated but i have not 100% finished the game yet but I'm right there, I still have yet to get Samara and Legion. I will review each Character class it's strengths and weaknesses via other posts. As a plus in this game there are New planets, and new weapons. Plus get some background on Cerberus. So far so good, if you are looking for a game to play PICK IT UP! You have Endless game play, i do have 1 complaint, the lack of armor, You hold onto your main armor for a little longer than i would like and there are lack of helmets unless you pop out money for DLC,Which i may or may not do. Another thing is the planet scanning is kinda tedious, with little rewards but a main part of the story so you can upgrade you ship, armor, recruits and weapons. Despite this Let's get to my over all rating!


OVERALL:


+Story grabs you early

+Character Creation is fantastic

+Pace stays constant

-Lack of Armor

-Planet scanning

MY GRADE:7.5
(all grades out of 10)
