Finished playing through Mass Effect 2, and have to admit I’m pretty sad to be done it. It was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played in a very long time. Improving on the first one which was great itself in most everyway.
You know a game is really good when you play through every side quest before going through the final chapter, I really didn’t want it to end. The characters and choices that you must make are amazing. I was honestly really sad when Tali died during my final mission. She was a very loyal Quarian and her sacrifice was not in vein.
I made my character and Engineer, figured that would be a bit different than using some of the more typical classes. The leveling up system and loyalty quests were a really cool idea. I also enjoyed mining various planets to unlock power-ups etc. I thought that was a very cool approach.
Production values by BioWare were amazing. I couldn’t imagine how much effort went into making this. Even the voice acting was spot on, with Martin Sheen voicing the creepy Illusive Man.
I’m really considering playing through this again, it really was that good. Best sci-fi experience around (movies, tv, etc.).
