In civilised society, the only place you can brag about your sexual conquests is in the pub or in the back of those girly magazines. Unlike the real world, in Mass Effect 2, the second you “successfully pursue a relationship with a teammate” all your friends know you got laid (I made the mistake of posting all my PS3 trophies to facebook). This is just one aspect of the truly unique gaming experience Mass Effect 2 offers.
Mass Effect follows Commander Shepard who’s battling to save humanity from immense sentient robots called Reapers. It sounds like your standard sci-fi shoot’em up but it’s actually a far more interesting and immersing experience.
The game perfectly blends action with extensive role play elements that makes Mass Effect 2 a special experience. Every decision you make can have a huge effect on the Mass Effect universe. You find yourself hesitantly clicking through dialog, making sure you don’t say the wrong thing because you don’t want an interstellar war on your conscience. Basically, it’s got more twists than your favourite soap opera. If I had to compare it; it would be the video game love-child of Fallout 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4.
Mass Effect 2 is now available on the PC, Xbox360 and the PS3. I would seriously recommend it to everyone. Bioware has created an epic game. I’m counting down the days until the third instalment is released.
