ME2 is as much an RPG as something like Metal Gear Solid, I'd go as far as to say that if it is meant to be an RPG then it's one of the worst ever. It's mainly a 3rd person shooter with a very strong interactive movie.

I guess we'll forever clash then, because I wouldn't put Mass Effect in the same category with something like Metal Gear Solid. Not to say one is better/worse than the other, just not too comparable IMO.

The RPG elements were heavily diluted from the original game whilst the shooting elements were heavily improved and when you're off the ship it plays more like a TPS. But then the story and conversation elements remind me of Heavy Rain, lol. I don't think it can be called just an RPG or just a TPS. Guys, just call it what it is: a Shooter/RPG genre shattering hybrid.

The only other game that comes to mind when using this definition is Deus Ex, which just so happens to be my fave game off alltime. Mass Effect 2 might come close
