I don't know how people can say Mass Effect 2 is a TPS. A third person shooter is just that a shooter, Mass Effect has all the elements of a WRPG and combines it with TPS combat. It still has areas to walk around in, accept quests, talk to NPCs, learn about the world and make choices. And its leveling and skill systems are still more complex then that of the average JRPG and even of RPG such as Fable 2. Bioware has been using the same formula with different combayt system since KOTOR and not until it was combined with a shooter did people start to say it was NOT a RPG. C'mon ME2 is far more complex then Jade Empire in all its RPG elements and Jade Empire is known as a great RPG!
