Jaw dropping graphics, epic story which rivals the best syfy book or film, 1st rate voice acting. An experience that must not be missed. Do yourself a favor and do not play Mass Effect 2 before you play 1. Not required, but it will enhance your experience. I finished my first play-through in 54 hours, but I am a bit of a completionist. A normal playthrough can be done in about 35 hours. Why would you want to rush it?
If you have your game save from ME1, you can import your character into ME2. Your stats however do not carry over as you will once again be a level 1 hack again. However, after you complete your 1st play, you can play again with your character stats intact. In typical Bioware form, your character from ME2 will carry over into ME3 so don't delete your game saves.
The RPG elements are still there, but not nearly as convoluted. ME2 is more of a shooter this time around, which adds to the pace of the game.
Overall the best single player game of all time. The wait for ME3 is going to be agonizing.
If you enjoy this game, I recommend ME1, Bioshock 1 and 2, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion, The Orange Box(The Half Life Games plus Portal, which is a must play), Borderlands, Gears of War 1 and 2. All epic games on their own merits, I consider them must plays.
