We asked for more and Bioware absolutely delivered! I didn't think it would get better but it did!

Really good inter galactic Bullcrap ans thats all i have to say because i like played a demo of this back in idk

In the first 10 minutes of Mass Effect 2, you die. You lose your life, your ship, your crew and everything else you grew attached to in the first installment. A common complaint with RPGs is the lack of explanation as to why your character loses their abilities between installments. What better way to explain why you lost your stuff than you died? Bioware took everything that worked in the first game and built upon it to create one of the best RPGs ever made.

Mass Effect 2 is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made. If you haven’t played it yet- play it!

That's definitely one of the best rpg games i ever played in my entire life. this is just **** miss the old bioware...i'm ****'t wait to play the third

Сравнивая с 1 частью МЭ, доп. квесты стали на голову выше, планеты стали более живыми, крутые крюмейт, ну систему инвентаря решили делать не такую как в первой части, это жалко, сюжет этой части так же - вышка. Не знаю него не хватило, но чего то не хватило как в первой части, при всём этом - отличная игра.

Ho recuperato questo gioco solo qualche settimana fa, ma con il passare degli anni non ha perso il suo fascino, è invecchiato molto bene. Un ottimo Gdr a tema spaziale, forse il migliore che ho giocato fin’ora.

Overrated game. My friend thinks this is the best game ever made. They made more of a shooter than a rpg.

one of the few franchises in which the second game holds up in regards to quality and pacing; it adds to the plot in a fundamental way, setting the stakes even higher and leaving you wanting for more. an almost perfect game in all regards !! :)

Mass Effect 2 is the mooviest game I ever played. The cinematic storytelling, emotional depth, and ability to shape the plot through my own decisions made it feel like I was playing a movie of my own making. Every choice carried weight, and the characters felt real. A true masterpiece in narrative-driven gaming.

I played through the first and second games back-to-back. I thought it would be too much for me, and I was afraid I'd get bored or tired of the game, but I finished it and still wanted more. What a masterclass!

Builds well upon the fundamentals of the first game of the series. Same dialogue decision trees, same Third Person Shooter slash RPG mechanics, same incredibly wide scope outer-space setting. However, the icing on the cake for me is how the story uses the style of the Seven Samurai film to portray Commander Shepard recruiting a galactic space force to fight off the bad guy aliens. The story is paced to a tee. It's an incredible experience that ive revisited countless times and will keep on doing in the future as the rpg mechanics and story beats allow for an umbrella of different paths and results through the series. A great blend of action and rpg that is still unique and pioneering to this day,

The best RPG in history, I played this game 3 times, I miss when Bioware knew how to create an RPG!!!

A triumphant RPG filled with choice and consequence, Mass Effect 2 improves upon nearly everything from the first game, while also removing aspects which held it back. Mass Effect 2 also removes some of the more "old school" RPG elements. That might upset some fans but it streamlines the user experience. Leveling up often feels less like improving arbitrary stats and more like unlocking a cool new ability or making those powers significantly stronger every time. It leads to a more streamlined experience, since managing the powers and using a clunky inventory user interface would become far more tiresome since Mass Effect 2 has twice as many companions. One area where it takes a step back from the first game is its villain. There isn't as much of a central villain throughout the story. The illusive man and Cerberus are much more morally grey and it wouldn't be fair to call them villains. Mass Effect 2's story however, has far better pacing than the first, despite the fact that it took me more than twice as long to complete it. It's structure is a bit unconventional. You spend most of your time seeking out companions to help you stop a lurking alien threat to mankind. Mass Effect 2's story shines when it focuses on episodic storytelling surrounding your companions and their loyalty missions. Even though I liked some companions more than others, their loyalty missions provide much more depth and character development. They are mostly entertaining and some can be surprisingly emotional. They are a huge step up compared to the lackluster side quests from the first game. Completing these missions can also affect the outcomes of the final mission, which I and many would consider one of the best final missions gaming has to offer. The combat and gunplay are also much snappier and the AI is a huge step up as well. It plays as well as most modern third-person shooters. The limited sprint is still annoying, but far less so than the first game since many of 2's environments are much smaller. I should say however that it is essential to play the first game before 2. Not only will it help contextualize events but choices you made in Mass Effect 1 can carry over to 2, since you can import your save file and character from the first game.

Uma obra prima dos jogos, principalmente se você jogou os anteriores, todas as escolhas são trazidas e você realmente sente o impacto das suas escolhas.

Good game, but the story still isn't as good as Mass Effect 1 in my opinion. The gameplay is definitely improved though. The side characters also stand out a lot and are all very interesting.

Good follow up to the first one but ignores alot of the character arcs from the first one. Combat and gameplay are vastly improved, inventory system is also massively improved and the main storyline is fun and intense. Main drawbacks I have here are that older characters are pushed aside for new and not-so-entertaining ones and even then, the crew here is massive so alot of the characters feel shallow unless you're romancing them.

_Good game _

Peak bioware i hope they do but i dont think they could ever surpass this one Pros: -carries a lot from the previous games this pro will be present in this whole trilogy -Improved on the gameplay -every single companion is interesting and cool looking -you can be a major **** if you want -the game doesnt hold back and will kill a lot of your loved ones if you make the wrong choices (rare to find games that have the balls to do this these days) -Good overall plot the best one and some are really thought provoking Cons: -Combat even though improved still feels a tad clunky compares to more modern games

Mass Effect 2 is on of the best sequels made for a video game. It is a highly engaging story that Bioware has struggled to replicate since.

Très bon jeu, mais vraiment surcoté par rapport aux autres Mass Effect, en particulier le 3.

tiene uno de los mejoren inicios impactante y sobre saliente , a un hoy guardo con cariño esta historia personajes y decisiones que marcaron a una galaxia. es un poco pretencioso por parte de algunos el querer un juego distinto o mas apegado a los estándares actuales, este juego se hizo basando en la experiencia original así que no esperen un salto abismal.

SCORE: STRONG 9 = 9,7 MUST PLAY GAME, good lore/music/story. The Mass Effect Trilogy are one of the best games ever made

1 of my Favorit gemessen ever liked mass 3 More from the Story but sill great

One of the best RPGs/action games of the 2010s and it will always live up to the hype people give it.

Ive played the Legendary edition in mid 2024. I cant help but see my experience with todays standard, i understand that the game was released in early 2010. The story and characters are what make the game interesting but still doesnt do enough to make it worthwhile to play 14+ years later with so many great games out there.

A perfect game. The recruiting and suicide mission mechanics are tremendous. The gunplay and RPG elements are tighter and more refined. The story, world, and characters are top-notch. Everything goes right, everything lands. They don't get much better than this.

Remove the ho-hum gunplay, and the rest is an interactive action movie that's decent enough for one walkthrough. Don’t go for seconds, though.

mass effect 2 is an improvement to the ME1 formula in almost every way. ME1 has an edge with the pacing of the story but ME2 has depth, boldness in the story, beyond most 2020+ games's willingness to push the boundaries of storytelling. the gameplay loop is easier to understand, I do miss the variety of weapons and the importance of the leveling mechanic, but spending more time on missions actually shooting is very satisfying. the settings in the level design are very diverse and fun to explore. learning about each character through their loyalty missions was a highlight beyond the gameplay.

Greatest RPG game in my opinion, the final Mission is arguably the best in all of gaming history, the characters are so well written it makes the whole game more immersive, can't wait for the new mass effect game.

Immersive Story I loved everything about it - Bioware at its prime ! Can only recommend !

Mass Effect 2's story takes a hit as combat becomes more streamlined, sacrificing RPG depth and variety, leaving veterans feeling a bit underwhelmed.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Mass Effect 2 is a landmark achievement in gaming, a spacefaring epic that transcends the medium. Its masterful storytelling, unforgettable characters, meaningful player agency, and polished gameplay combine to create an experience that resonates long after the credits roll. Mass Effect 2 isn't just one of the best games ever; it's a testament to the potential of video games to deliver narrative-driven, emotionally impactful, and immersive experiences that leave an indelible mark on the hearts of players.

This is hand down one of the greatest ever made The characters and thier story is soo well written And it has one of the best final missions in gaming

Básicamente lo mismo que el primero pero más Hollywood.

this is the bad boy of the mass effect games

It is 2024 and Mass Effect 2 is still the single-best video game I have ever played. The story and characters are unmatched in any game I have ever played. The combat is good, the adventure is amazing, the scenery is fantastic, the voice acting is spot-on, the dialogue is well-written, the decisions are intense, the music is great and the overall feeling of being a part of the Normandy crew is like nothing you will ever experience in gaming. This is a one-in-a-lifetime experience and truly a masterpiece.

Perfect

My favorite game of all time. I honestly have a hard time of thinking of substantial flaws with this game. The games story is excellent, going for a more episodic feel rather than the blockbuster movie feel of the original. If choice heavy rpgs are your jam, this is the game for you. So much of what you do ties into one of the best video game endings of all time, truly life or death decisions. The combat has also vastly been improved, and the character building has been simplified, but to a healthy degree where you don't feel like you have to invest in useless abilities. The games characters are also some of Biowares best. Characters you start out hating become fan favorites, and returning characters get much more depth than they ever got in the original. The game also has a decent variety in side quests, from hub quests, to vehicle quests, to combat quests. If you're looking for a good sci-fi rpg, you won't find a better one.

Mass Effect es una saga maravillosa, pero la segunda entrega es una obra maestra digna de cualquier amante de la ciencia ficción.

Until I played this game, I thought the shooter and RPG genres didn't blend well together. This game changed my mind.

One of the best RPGs i have ever played. The story was amazing, and the combat system very fun.

The gunplay is enjoyable, but the characters are mostly science fiction knockoffs or copy and pasted versions of first games characters. The entire thing is mediocre from start to finish and the writing is downright bad. It was a pretty strange experience.

Much improved combat irons out all of the quibbles that slightly marred the original game making for the best adventure game money can buy, with the possible exception of its own sequel.

Amazing game, great RPG and story elements. Good side quests aswell and how your actions affect the story.

This game is extremely epic, with a very beautiful world and lore. I really enjoyed travelling in the space and discovering new worlds, meeting new characters and locations with quests. Also you can customize your starship, and add a cute space pet as cherry on top! It was one of the game that i enjoyed the most in my Xbox 360. Even tho im not a big sci-fi fan, this game is just too epic so i LOVED it. Also the heroic ending was amazing aswell.

Mass Effect 2 is one of the best Sci-Fi RPG’s ever made, even better than the first. Great atmosphere, Story and Characters.

The best mass effect game and it’s not even close. It’s hard for a story to really grip me and have me hooked the whole time but this one did. The characters were all spectacular and the excellent writing made me care about them all so much. This is a must play.

Perfect! One of a very few games that deserves a 10, but Shep and crew in Mass 2 well deserves it. Mass Effect 2 take a huge leap from 1 and this is the space RPG of a lifetime. Bioware were at their best with Mass 2. Definitely one of my favorite games ever!
