Review of Mass Effect 2


In Mass Effect 1, the game developers of this game series set the foundations to create one of the greatest franchises in the video game history. Fortunately BioWare (the company behind the game) in Mass Effect 2 created an incredible complicated scenario for a video game at least, plus the developers listened to the gaming community and fixed all those little and big things that annoyed the gamers. Furthermore they added so much content and even better features that they extended the gameplay and the experience by far when compared to the first part of the series.

Mass Effect 2 was an avalanche for the gaming world. It got so many awards that the developers were walking around like peacocks. And that is understandable and fair enough. The scriptwriters did an amazing job. If a studio would make a movie from their script, it would skyrocket in the charts within a week. The depth and complexity of the story is incredible. It is one of the features that make you to keep going without thinking about anything else. BioWare has hired some of the most talented people available in the video games industry and that is unquestionable. There is no other way to create such incredibly beautiful jewels

Now, every game has a few bugs and glitches, every game have a few faults that is not possible to be avoided. Despite all the testing before the game gets published. Every computer behaves differently; there will always be some problems no matter what. Do not forget that a video game is an incredible complicated program with some polished images and colors (a really simplified explanation). But when you play Mass Effect 2 you forget about all that. Fortunately these flaws are just not enough to hamper someone’s experience. In the first part there were some bad features that made the game irritating every now and then. Gamers and buyers were listened and all those bad little things disappeared.

While playing Mass Effect 1 it is a fact that someone will end up with more questions than the time he started. That was done on purpose by the scriptwriters and the marketing division so they could create a foothold for their next product. And let me tell you that it was a very, very successful technique. So now at the second part of our story questions will be answered and some small gaps will be filled.
