I bought it for PC a few months ago, but I'm not much of a PC gamer and I can't bring myself to play it, so I re-bought it for the XBOX 360.

I'm not one to care about combat, I just look for a great story, fun gameplay and great atmosphere. I can't really put my finger on what makes a game great, but it's gotta gibe me that "epic" feeling.

I didn't like the Mass Effect 2 demo, neither do I really like the overall "look" of the game, but I still have my fingers crossed.

The 360 version is a technical mess and the combat is incredibly integral to the gameplay. Having a mediocre (at best) combat system and a pretty poor framerate really hurts the gameplay in this game. The rest (story, characters, audio, presentation, atmosphere, rpg mechanics, loot) are waaaaaaaaaaaay better than ME2 IMO. ME2's art and look rubbed me the wrong way too (it was too dark and muggy looking) and overall was a pretty big disappointment but ME1 remains my favourite game this gen.

I know what you mean about dark and muggy, I like the look of the different planets in ME1 a hell of a lot more, that's quite a big deal to me.

Shame about the other issues though, hope it doesn't put me off.
