Games like Mass Effect 2 hardly ever come around this early in the year. While playing the game you can look at any aspect and you can be sure it's great. The game draws you and make you believe as you are Shepard while still maintaining its epic content. The desing place on the combat system and weapons is truly breath taking. The visuals, voice acting, soundtrack, and direction are miles ahead of the competition. Perhaps most impressively, Mass Effect 2 manages to fulfill its incredible ambition while only suffering from very few technical hiccups. The only real caveat I should mention is that some of the revelations and plot twists won't be quite as powerful if you haven't played Mass Effect 1, but that isn't any reason to skip this fantastic videogame.
