    Ну тут за жопу Миранды один балл накину. Думаю лучшая из частей. Можно играть за псайкера.

    Combat is even more of a shooter and story is streamlined, or less important. Or rather more character oriented since it is mainly composed of recruiting party members and doing their loyalty missions. As such it cannot achieve the epic proportions of the first and is a downgrade in pretty much every way

    Comparing to the first game story could have been better. While the game prefers to focus on independent stories, the story in the background wasn't as compelling as the first. And the biggest problem is the logic behind all quests, except for two, were exactly the same. Just spawn on a random map, fight through the end, then the quest is completed.

And the biggest problem is the logic behind all quests, except for two, were exactly the same. Just spawn on a random map, fight through the end, then the quest is completed. This is just a poor design and lacks the feel of involvement. Fortunately, most of these quests have interesting enough stories. However, regarding the first game and the comments on this one, I had imagined this game way better.… Expand

    This game features many improvements above the first Mass Effect game: the universe is more richly detailed with more worlds to explore, there are more unique characters to recruit and interact with, the graphics are sharper, and the previously dull action is improved to the point where it is now acceptably fun.

Unfortunately, many of the missions in this game involve traveling all over the galaxy to do menial favors for your crewmates, which feels utterly preposterous given that the main story involves confronting an urgent, cataclysmic threat to the entire universe.… Expand

    Игра хорошая но все портит тупые локации и отсутствие нормальной карты и мини-карты. Стрельбу сделали лучше.

    Very mediocre. The gunplay feels very nice, but the story is full of artificial filler missions

    Probably the most overrated game of all time. Mass Effect 2 doesn't add to the RPG elements, story, lore, world design and so on of its predecessor, it dumbs it down. Truth be told, it also streamlines it, and so you have a sleek, casual game instead of a clumsy, ambitious one.

    But honestly, theres nothing much to see here. The story is woefully cliche. Even compared to the cliche    Probably the most overrated game of all time.

    But honestly, theres nothing much to see here. The story is woefully cliche. Even compared to the cliche stories of most RPGs, this takes the cake. It is 80% 'gather your party' and then 20% the end battle. How original.

    The combat is an improvement from the previous game, but as I mentioned earlier, every other aspect of the game is a step backwards.

    I get it though, this game seems like the game version of a Marvel movie. Devoid of any depth and yet inexplicably a critical and mainstream darling. But I fail to see much merit to it. Its a mediocre game at best.

    People have mentioned that after this game, Bioware started going downhill. However, I wonder if its because of the success of this game, and the audience embrace of streamlining and casualization that Bioware went in that direction in the first place.    … Expand

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    Mass Effect 2 resumes with pride the path opened by the first game. This sequel is a lesson of how things should be made.

    Mass Effect 2 delivers a story that's deeper than what many novelists are capable of, and its action is better than what most Hollywood directors are creating nowadays. It's an addictive, engrossing experience that many gamers will replay over and over while they hold their breath waiting for the third game.

    A brilliant mix of shooter and role-playing, filled with great characters, excellent design, lots of action and clever dialogue. It's a shame though that Bioware did not improve the inventory and skill system of the first game, but actually reduced it even more. I really wished there were more customization options, more ways to develop and gear up my characters. But all these are merely small points of criticism, since there is so much to feel and experience in this game. Mass Effect 2 is a thrilling, emotional ride and ultimately every bit as good as its predecessor.
