Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new danger has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced. To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy’s most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, doubters say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong. Gameplay An space-based action RPG like its predecessor, gameplay in Mass Effect 2 revolves around the player's particular version of Commander Shepard and continuing development of this character as the game proceeds. As the game opens a variety of character classes are made available to the player, with talents, both exclusive and general, associated with each. With experience these talents are leveled up, resulting in the unlocking of related abilities and/or entirely new talents. The player has the ability to customize their Commander Shepard in a number of ways including physical appearance, gender, and certain aspects of their personal history, with the rub being that these choices can influence things like available missions, dialogue choices with non-player characters (NPCs), and character background. Accompanying this main character are a number of preset supporting characters that the player can direct and develop relationships with, which again, will alter the outcome of the story. All the characters from the original game make an appearance in Mass Effect 2, but the immediate characters surrounding Commander Shepard are new. Additional new features that players can expect to experience include new alien races; a more realistic damage system; a new heavy weapons system allowing for maximum damage; a regenerative health system; a dramatic increase in the number of character animations available to Shepard; and updates to the dialogue mechanic used when conversing with NPCs. Integration with the Original Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 allows players of the original Mass Effect game to import save games to continue the story of their own Commander Shepard. In doing this, the decisions that were made in the first game will affect the events of the second game. In addition, characters from the first game will return, as long as they were not killed off by the player in the first game. On the other hand, new players coming to the series for the first time in Mass Effect 2 will start a brand-new character, discover the events of the previous games as they progress and embark on a thrilling stand-alone adventure that does not require the previous game for play.

| 43 of 56 people found the following review helpful  Not a fan of the changes, but still an incredible game., By AM (Frederick, MD USA) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition (Video Game) Having played WAY too much of it when it came out yesterday, opinions are solidified. I want to say up front that it's still a great game, and worth every penny... because if I don't say it now, I may lead someone to believe otherwise, as I don't actually like ANY of the changes to the game--I just don't dislike them so heavily that anything is spoiled. It's also worth noting that virtually no critic seems to agree with me at all here, so your mileage may very well differ, especially toward the end of the critical portion of this post.Combat saw the largest overhaul by far. Bioware wanted to enhance the shooter element of Mass Effect, saying that they wanted it to be on par with things like Modern Warfare, and attract some of those users. It's not on par with the Call of Duty series as a shooter, and trying to make it feel more like that was, in my opinion, detrimental. Mass Effect 1 weaponry had unlimited ammo, and lore to back that up (despite the obvious...

Mass Effect 2: Shooter with very little RPG elements. Streamlined and simplified casual gamer friendly skill tree's and gameplay. Disregard to lore and core elements set from Mass Effect 1. No. I repeat NO actual exploration, not as many sidequests, perks so to speak are not reflected as you would think or assume they would during gameplay. and so on and so forth. again not going to waste time saying what soooooo many others have said about ME2. Go to bioware's social forums site, read what alot have said and what moderators have locked down because it's a clear representation of people that bought the game with at the... Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  One of the best games I have ever played, = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition (Video Game) I am an avid fan of the first Mass Effect, I played through the first game at least 7 times, and enjoyed every minute of it. I followed every tiny bit of news for the second installment of the series, clinging to the hope that it would live up to the insane hype surrounding it. Having just finished m 4th play through and starting my fifth, I think I can safely say that it has. This is a tremendous game that allows me to live out my fantasy of traveling the cosmos and fighting alien menaces come to life, and I love it. In fact, my only complaint is the planet scanning mini-game, it takes way to long and breaks up the action, but other than that, there is none stop action from start to finish, with some of the best written dialog and story out there, and some great game play. The combat system has been completely fixed from the first game, as well as the side quests, inventory management, and upgrade system, some may say that it is not enough of an RPG now, but that is just not true, it...
