Mass Effect 2 PS3 Review [Game Revolution]

"If EA had bundled a PS3 version of Mass Effect along with Mass Effect 2, this might have been the easiest 'A' I've ever given." ~ Nick Tan

Too bad the comic doesn't do it 1 justice. Guess I'm gonna have to play through it after all.

The_Zeitgeist5602d ago

I thought it was decent. It made me understand what was going on.

ddurand15602d ago

If I had an xbox I would definitely play through the first one. not sure why you wouldnt?

samurailincoln5601d ago

It's a time issue. RPGs can eat up a lot of your life quick.

Volpone5602d ago

Cool to hear this made the transition mostly unscathed.

The_Zeitgeist5602d ago

I just got this in the mail today!!!

Deathstroke5602d ago

So the xbots are still butthurt over losing ME2? lol

"B-b-b-but you need the first game :("

I thought by now they would've gotten over it. This was bigger than the FF13 uproar (and not just because FF13 sucked).

Kon5602d ago

You don't need the first game. But is obvious that the comic don't cover all the history of ME1. If you want to fully enjoy the game i suggest you play the first.

The real killer5602d ago (Edited 5602d ago )

The first one was a mess (frame rate problems/grafischs hicups) no thank you. No story needed.

Storyline is allready in part 2.

OT:

Those re-reviews are just hype nothinmg more, nothing innovates or improving gracichs over the first one, oke a little bit.

Sure, i get those disagree's, new and better game get lower scores than a old game that first came on the 360 and whole year later to the PS3 and yet get this game higher score.

@Real Killer

Real Killer if ME1 was a PS3 exclusive you would be all over it like a $2 crack whore vying to cure her jones by blowing Bill Clinton in the back of a 1972 Blue Chevy pickup...
Btw...
English...not ENGRISH please.

30sec5602d ago

You need to read the books then, not play the first game. But of course, that little piece of info is omitted by the "YOU HAVE TO PLAY ME1!" crowd.

insertcoin5602d ago

Well, considering that one of the main draws of Mass Effect 2 as a franchise is that decisions carry over, the Xbox 360 versions are more authentic to its core principles. But this PS3 version is certainly got the bang for its buck with all the included DLC. Not a bad way to entice newcomers to an awesome series. The more people who play it, the better.

BryanBegins5602d ago

On top of that, it is actually cheaper to buy Mass Effect 2 for the Xbox360 and the 3 DLCs included on the PS3 version ($20+around $20 for the DLCs). So yes, even though I prefer playing on my ps3, Mass Effect is a franchise I'll enjoy on the 360.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast534d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine534d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast534d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman534d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast534d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman533d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

SimpleSlave782d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan782d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave782d ago (Edited 782d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
