With Mass Effect 2 Bioware finally has action/RPG formula right. Sure, it’s not the most sophisticated RPG the developer has produced, but now that the action is as enjoyable as the storytelling, this series feels like an unstoppable force.Read full review

I must agree with you. Whilst at first i was a bit dissapointed with the stripping away of some of the rpg-ish elements it has created a far more playable game. The story does feel a little bit middle of a trilogy though without the mystery and a nemesis of the first game. Not that i have finished it yet (stupid work getting in my way)
For comparison how would you have rated the plotline in the first game? I found it somewhat weak with an unbelievable ending (and Dragon Age wasn't great either) so I'm wondering whether I'll find the narration 'Strong, Edgy and Fiendish' or whether I should wait for this one to come out in a compilation edition with it's DLC.
Correct me if I am wrong, but you can fully customise the look of your character as long as the surname is Shephard. So that would be more confusing I think.
@marko-it's hard for TR to get screen gabs when they are reviewing them in the local currys.
btb is it just me that finds all bioware games dull,all get rave reviews yet everyone is a chore to play.the action and rpg parts are done far better else where so in the end all your left with is some nice voice works(albeit with a mediocre script).
Personally I think its possibly gone a bit too far in the streamlining. As you said you don't feel like there's much outside the set missions. The 1st did better at having a working universe of people, and its great that you meet soo many of them in me2, with their lives visibly altered by what you did in me1.
I don't like that the Alliance and Council have been so sidelined, just doesn't 'fit'. I cannot believe a council responsible for trillions of lives would be so blind and stupid, nor that the Alliance would just let its best officer work for a 'terrorist group' without any repercussions.
Combat's not bad...though the single 2d plane of the cover is damn annoying, and Gears of War still has the best system for moving around cover too.
Personally I liked the unique feeling of me1, no ammo but overheating...it seemed more scifi. Now its just got ammo like all other games and the in-game reason isn't logical enough:)
However I played it till 1am last night and most of the day till 3am the night before...so its doing something right:D
ed it was only partly sarcasm,every review has stock photos,so when say you review a telly supplied by say superfi i wonder if you had a review unit or where just invited in for half an hours viewing.
so by the unproffesionalism of the review you could have just played the games on a demo machine in currys then come home and posted your thoughts
