Maybe Mass Effect 2 isn't as amazing or incredible as so many people hyped it to be. Same goes for Bioshock.
I'm a PS3 owner who was excited to finally be playing an installment in the hugely reverred ME series, and purchased ME2 at launch on PS3. And I have definitely been enjoying the game, but I don't think it's anything all that spectacular or groundbreaking to be honest with you; or at least it's not quite GotY material (imo). Thus far in my playtime, my assessment would be that it's a fairly-solid game with some solid shooting mechanics with (dissapointingly) light RPG elements. The story and universe is obviously very well-constructed, and as are the characters, the dialog, the facial animations, etc. Great game overall, but the amount of RPG depth (or lack thereof) is a downer.
I also felt that Bioshock was overhyped/overrated when I finally bought that after all the hype preceding it.
