Vgchartz ranking game--Mass Effect 2!!

[ishiki]

9.0

Very very good. I loved it. I originally rated it a 9.5 when I first got it but changed my mind a bit.

Pro's
The shooting was actually good unlike ME1 and fun with some awesome powers.
I felt the first game was a poor shooter and an ok RPG.They streamlined the RPG elements so it was less cluttered.
I felt it fit this type of game because it is a shooter. [ME1 imo had too many guns that were the same]
Some Great New Characters like Mordin, and Miranda and Kelly.
Took the gamesaves and your decisions from ME1 better than any game I've seen (they still copped out a lot though)
Dialogue wheel as always was awesome.

Con's
Thermal Clips and the way it was explained
Too many new many new characters which skewed the story/character mission ratio.  while reducing some of the best ones (Ashley, Liara [I know she had a big DLC I played but her role was dissapointing, and wrex.) This will make the 3rd game difficult for them.
You don't get to see tali's face when romancing seems like a natural good reward other than a sex scene...  this was really dumb to me
They took out the mako [Now they did address this with fantastic hammerhead sequences in overlord but once again DLC]
This game was basically a bunch of sidequests. The story went not very far for a 30 hr game.

I'm truly excited for 3 if they incorporate missions like overlord in ME3 with hammerhead. I think it has a shot being the best game this gen for me. But the results for Dragon Age 2 seem a bit worrisome. But ME3's done by my favorite bioware director Casey Hudson anyways.
