| 9.5 | Presentation Every element in Mass Effect 2, from the interface and backend menus to the map systems and overall design ethic, come together beautifully. |
|
| 9.5 | Graphics Much improved over the first game, Mass Effect 2's wonderful sense of space culture, stunning design work and attention to detail combine to build a tremendous experience. |
|
| 9.5 | Sound Rich, lovingly scored and brilliantly acted, the sound could only be improved through addressing small but noticeable sound drop-outs. Still, a creative achievement if not a technical one. |
|
| 9.0 | Gameplay Major changes and refinements were largely well implemented, even if we don't agree with all of them. This is a challenging and polished experience until the last moments. |
|
| 9.5 | Lasting Appeal A dozen or so hours of storyline will balloon out rapidly when you start searching for side-quests. Then there's the branching nature of the story, the optional dialogues and more. Complex; wonderful. |
|
| 9.3 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
