Mass Effect 2 Review

When you import a character from ME1, you get a chance to change his/her appearance and class 5 minutes into the game.

If you have a character from ME1 and are happy with the choices you made throughout the first game, its probably worth importing :)
 
Cool - thanks for clearing that up guys! Just installing it to hard drive now. I think I'll try out the vanguard!
 
Finished this yesterday and just missed out on the "No one left behind achievement" due to the spat between Jack and Miranda, had to tell Jack to do one as I couldn't select paragon option despite having nearly full paragon points :(

Going to start another play through, going to try and get all the achievements I missed out on. The finale was quite a spectacle!
 
I too finished this yesterday and thought the story was fantastic. Really enjoyed the game.

Not a massive fan of the mining for elements but found it a lot more fun than the mako missions so a definite improvement.

One thing that did disappoint was the lack of loot, prefered buying a lot of guns and things for my team rather than just having a standard config for each person.
 
If you enjoy sniping and a bit of stealth then the infiltrator is the way to go, close and personal use the vanguard, jack of all trades sentinel.

Haven't tried the soldier (guns, lots of guns), engineer (all tech) or adept (all biotic) :)

I looooooove this game!

Bit gutted to see so little of Liara and Ashey but that's biowares plan to keep them alive so they can have a big role in the third game, especially ashley since she was my shep's love interest.
 
Finished the game today, awesome ending! Looking forward to Mass Effect 3 already. :D
Managed to get 49 of 51 achievements on the first playthrough aswell, Level 30 character should be easy enough but I'm not sure about playing it through on Insanity. I am already having my arse handed to me on the second mission! :( :cool:
 
Anyone know if its possible to combine the "Squad Ammo" effects?

For example, if I max out disruptor squad ammo and get grunt to max out incendiary squad ammo, will i get the benefit of both types?

ie good against shield and armor?

Combine that with Jacks warp squad ammo, then thats barriers covered too! :)

No, only 1 ammo type per person at any 1 time, I suggest not upgrading quad members ammo types to group ammo because they will use it constantly even when you would rather be using another one and it always overwrites yours.

Actualy no, the only ammo you should upgrade to group is Thane's "Shredder Ammo" because it's stupidly good for the last mission, that or get it yourself as your bonus talent.
 
I loved Mass Effect on the 360 and did all the achievements (along with Dead Rising the only game I've ever bothered doing this) including level 60. Though the graphics were a bit rough.

Can't make up my mind wether to get ME2 on the 360 or go for PC this time. How do you guys rate this on the xbox?
 
Just finished this myself after playing it every day since release.
Clocked up 52 hours! Can't remember a single player game that's given me that much gameplay time in years!

Brilliant game, I can't wait for the third game.
Infact, this could even be game of the year, and it's barely even begun!

Miles better than the first in terms of frame rate. I noticed one bit of slow down in the whole game and even that only lasted for < 1 second, the combat feels a lot smoother too, far more refined. I went for the 360 version as I'd rather play most of my games from a couch these days as I spend most of my days working at a desk!
