Not to be complaining at a 9.6 review here, but did Brudvig really criticize it for being too "referential." I guess you have to have some cons but still, I don't grasp how it's a bad thing that the game is much better if you played the first one, which is on the same platform no less. *scratches head*

Well...

Mass Effect 1's choices, and story will heavily impact on the 2nd.

Without playing ME1, the experience of ME2 will be nowhere near as great.

I think that's why it was a negative. They have to think about everyone playing it, not just the people who will be playing both.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. More reason for people to play the first one then, I suppose. (as if they needed another one!)
