Oh. My. GOD. It was even better than I thought it would be! BioWare’s second go-round with the story of Commander (insert name here) Shepard is every bit as wondrous and awesome as the first one. And they got rid of the Mako. Huzzah! No more crappy driving sequences! The combat has been revamped, the characters are three dimensional and seem real (from the unstable Subject Zero to the honorable Thane Krios), with so many people to choose from it’ll make your head spin! The new Heavy Weapon system replaces the grenades, and there is an ammo system implemented that manages to still make ammo a non-issue. The only complaints I can think of is that it isn’t long enough, the planet-scanning is boring as hell, and that it doesn’t come with a free kitten. Yeah. But they’ll be fixing that little hiccup soon. Downloadable Content is going to be a lot more common this time around. There is already a new squadmate and shotgun and stuff, and a replacement for the Mako is on its way. One that doesn’t suck. Isn’t that friggin’ awesome!? Also, the game comes on two discs. Yes… two… one more than normal. Apparently, Mass Effect 2 is SO AWESOME that it can’t be contained on one disc. I’m sorry if this review is kinda one sided, but I don’t care. A new kitten sounds nice though… I’ll call BioWare, see what I can do. Anyway, it is easily Game of the Year… already.

Mass Effect 2 gets 9.99

P.S. I didn’t give it a perfect 10 because it isn’t perfect, and just handing out 10’s is a bad policy
