Great game. The ME universe is definitely one of the most engrossing of the generation. (Coming from someone who's not a big fan of sci-fi.) The music is just damn good, and I like the more shooter-esque combat of ME2 to that of the original ME. (Though I appear to be the odd man out on that one.)
I'm usually not a fan of cinematic games, because more often than not their replay value isn't exactly through the roof. But I can definitely see myself playing this game again multiple times. (Only gotten around playing it from start to finish once.)
The game isn't faultless, though. The mining is teeeedious, and though I like the combat, it's not irreproachable, by any means. It's strong, but doesn't hold up against dedicated third person shooters like Gears or Vanquish. (But that's not to be expected from a RPG anyway.)
Still, it's a damn great game, and deserves no less than a...
9.0
