'Most expensive version at the moment'

I believe impulse gamers ALSO reviewed the Mass Effect 2 version when it was new so the price is the same.

'No mass effect 1 save carry over.'

Strange I swear this was a Mass Effect 2 review, how very strange. So your saying if there's no review carry over feature it loses point. Fallout 3 gets 1/10 from because Fallout 1 isn't on the console and no game save.

'2010 perfect score < 2011 perfect score.'

Name me a BETTER RPG that came out since? Nope so why is ME2 on PS3 worse?

'By that I mean games improve every year, what was amazing in 2007 is pretty meh now. Halo Reach 91 meta < Halo 3 94 meta'

Various games since have better the FPS genre, Killzone 2, Various COD's.

'But Reach > 3...everybody knows that but nobody complains about the score because 360 players have enough sense to understand that the game isn't being compared to the previous iteration but being held up to the standards of the present.'

Strange earlier you brought up a previous iteration of a game to lower a score, NOW it's unfair to do the same?

Mass Effect 2 on ps3 is not a different iteration, it is the same game on a different platform.
Yes this is a Mass Effect 2 review not a mass effect 1 review but the fact that on the other platforms you can carry over a save from the previous iteration is a negative for this version.
You could remove 1/10(by the way they didn't remove 1 point) from fallout 3 on one platform for not having this feature if the other platforms had it but since this is not the case, your point is moot.
So why is ps3 version 'worse' because it is a year late and brings nothing new of note to the table, it is the most expensive version and does not have a feature that the other platforms offer

@ mrv,

Not having the save carry over actually does effect the gameplay/amount of content in mass effect 2. There are several characters and the assignments that are ascociated with them that are missing on the ps3 version (eg shiala, conrad verner, gianna) as they are only available through the decisions you make in the first game. So yeah, it would be reasonable for it to lose a point as it is a missing feature when compared to the other versions.

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

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

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.
