Mass Effect 2
91% Platforms PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Genre Shooter, Role-playing (RPG), Adventure Developer BioWare, BioWare Edmonton Publisher Electronic Arts Release January 26, 2010Mass Effect 2 stands as the pinnacle of BioWare and EA’s ambitious space odyssey role-playing franchise. In the series’s “dark middle chapter,” Commander Shepard explores exotic planets, recruits daring crew members, and records more Citadel advertisements. The story starts with a bang, as the protagonist Shepard is brutally killed, only to be rebuilt by Cerberus — a sort of paramilitary organization with a strong political agenda.
The “Paragon/Renegade” system from the first game returns, and you find yourself making dozens upon dozens of decisions that can influence the rest of the plot. The gameplay has been cleaned up, and it feels much smoother and quicker than the original. Crew assignments feel more important than ever as you face bigger and more varied foes while exploring numerous alien environments. Plus, with Mass Effect 4 on the way, there’s no better time to catch up.
