    Best game of the year?

    Not only was it arguably the best game of 2010 but it just might be the best game ever. The story line, the characters, the missions, the locations, just everything is so well done. This game absolutely ROCKS and i already have recommended it to several friends. Can't wait for Mass Effect 3 this holiday season - check out the trailer at IGN

    A continuation to one of my favorite games of all time, Mass Effect, ME2 takes your character that created in ME and takes that character to a new level. Miranda is definitely a nice addition as well....hint hint

    My new favorite game

    I'm so happy that Bioware improved on the details of the first Mass Effect to make this game so much better. They removed a lot of the tedious equipment management tasks and made the battles so much more satisfying. Enemies react to being shot more naturally, the abilities are killer (especially Vangaurd's), your squad AI is better (they actually help you and you can tell them where to target or take a position), and the cover mechanics seem to work more intuitively. I love the "hard edge" plot line that the game takes. I play through on the Paragon side of the spectrum rather than Renegade but I still like how Shepard seems to be like Captain Kirk from the new Star Trek movie. There is a lot to this game that can get you emmerssed.

    Top 5 best games ever. This game is fun and gets you wrapped up in the story and the battles. Play the first one before this. You'll understand much more. Great game. Fun, interesting, exciting, entertaining.

    Great game will provide many hours of game play. Only problem I have is you need a HDTV to see the writing in the game. When I had purchased this game I only had a standard TV and could not play it because thing's were not clear enough to read or even see. This game defiantly takes advantage of new TV's with HD. I just purchased a 50" plasma and the game is at a new level of game play. If you still game on a standard TV I would probably pick up a PC version.

    This is the best mass effect, in my opinion. It fixes some of the issues in the first game, and retains it's strong storytelling and fun gameplay. The only issue is the lack of some RPG elements found in the first game, but overall it's an excellent game.

    Game of the Year

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games i have played. The RPG depth is not as good as the first one, but the shooter aspect is better. Also how you can import your character from the first into the second, and into the third is one of the best things of this game. Its awards speek for itself, winning over 160 game of the year awards, and 116 best of awards. It is one of the best games of 2010, and of all time.

    ME2 has taken the footprint of the first game and taken it to a new level. The characters in this game are exceptionally thought out. The shooting mechanics are fantastic. The art work is great to look at. Sure you will get tired of scanning planets, but when you have such a complete package, it is worth it.

    Great Game, one of the best this year that are coming out. If you don't have it, go buy it now. The ending makes me want to wait in line for Mass Effect 3 NOW. Powers like biotics and ammo boosters are even easier to use than the last one. Go buy it now.

    This game is a very good game. Its actually one of the only games that I wasn't disappointed in. It has a wide selection of possibilities and outcomes/ options. It really takes the cake of intergalactic travel.
