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.

As someone who was a fan of the first Mass Effect, I was looking forward to 2's release. Nothing could have prepared me for what Mass Effect 2 had in store. Simply put, this is one of the best games I have played, ever. Every flaw that its predecessor had has been removed or fixed. I was unfortunate to have lost my save data from the first game, but it did not take away from the experience.

With graphics rivaling the best the 360 has to offer, fantastic combat, and a voice cast that performs wonderfully, this game captured me till the end and left me wanting more.

I have nothing bad to say about this game, I can only hope that the next installment can stay on par, Bioware has really outdone themselves with this one.

This is one of the best science fiction game ive ever played. Normally i dont play RPGs but i made an exception for this one. It doesnt play like a RPG but more of a shooter. The gameplay is simple, the music is OUT OF THIS WORLD, the graphics are really good it brings out the sci-fi of the characters, the story is good, this game just has everything a hardcore gamer wants. A RPG/SHOOTER, GREAT STORY, GRAPHICS, MUSIC, AND GAMEPLAY. I would HIGHLY recomend this game to anyone. ;P
