[*]Could Not Full Explore Citadel Like You could in ME1

True, though they gave you the Zekera wars to explore. It would have bee neat to go back to the CSEC academy again. I do suppose though that because Shep came riding in an a Cerberus logo'd Normandy that his Tower access rights would be temporarily revoked. :p

Clever thinking. Hopefully the third one is more open and more dynamic. It would be nice if you go into a city, starship etc and people would move around and talk like in Assassins Creed instead of just standing there. Be a lot of work I'd imagine. Saying that, I'd still give the game a 10/10 because the storyline is just so damn cool.

Yup, I really wish you could have explored more of the Citadel, you could not fully explore the citadel in either game (the areas you do explore are only a tiny fraction of the citadel in both games), but I wish they would have made it larger than in ME1. Maybe even leave the ME1 area open for you to walk around in (or, whats left of it), while adding a new area like they had done.

^^^^^^ You must be the only person in the world who liked the ME1 vehicle.

I honestly prefer the Mako to the planet scanning and probing. Scanning is freaking boring, at least with the Mako you had stuff to shoot at.

Just finished it for the second time. Soldier alternating hardcore and insane difficulties. Everyone survived. Had to uninstall it because it's addictive.

Try playing it with any class other than the 'easy' soldier to get the full Mass Effect 2 experience.

Hell, using a soldier on Insanity is pretty much like playing on Casual after you've tried to Adept your way through it

He's a Spectre though, he can go where he likes. Even when Saren was accused of the Eden Prime attacks with the Geth, there still had to be a hearing with the Council to eventually get his status revoked :p

My first time was as a vanguard. Also I dont think soldier is "easy". No crowd control biotics, no tech control powers. You need to rely completely on your squad and strategy.

Way ahead of you. My first playthrough was as an Infiltrator on Insanity difficulty.

I'm doing my second playthrough now as a Sentinel to try and get the achievements where you overload 25 shields and warp 25 biotic barriers. Straight away, it's a hell of a lot harder than playing as an Infiltrator. As an Infiltrator, you get the benefits of a sniper rifle, and the Incinerate ability, which was an absolute godsend in my playthrough.

I loved everytime Mordin used incinerate. That "enjoy" sounds just too evilish :p

Finished the game yesterday and now was just messing around in the ship, to my surprise you could have another boomtangle with one of your crew members. The first one was with miranda and then I went to meet tali and she said if you breakup with miranda then....., so I did. :laugh:

Ahh, I only ever used Mordin once or twice, so I never heard that. :p

Haha! I just searched "mordin enjoy" on YouTube to try to find a video of him saying that, but instead, I found this! :rofl:

That is another reason I'm doing a second playthrough, as I didn't realise you couldn't get the Paramour achievement with Kelly, which is who I went with.

BTW, I just found another funny bit I never came across! :rofl:

So I finally put in the time to beat the game yesterday. Very epic, and I can't wait for ME3.

I'm playing through again, now on Veteran. I wish I could import my character and change classes, but oh well. It's still fun to start with the extra money and resources as well as at the higher level.

I have found that if you import your ME1 character to ME2, finish the game and then start a new one again with the ME1 character you get the game-finishing bonuses, including abilities and level with the choice to change class.

I never beat ME1 though :(

You're missing one of the best storylines of all time. In fact the whole series is just breathtaking so far. Both games are among my top 5 favorite games of all time.

I played it, and I got through almost the whole game (I even got that one achievement for beating "most" of the game :rofl:) but it just got boring to me. I think I'll finish it off one day though.

SALE

PC - $30, 360 - $40

AMAZON LINK

When you see a new game go on sale so quick like that it just proves that sales have been great already. There has to be some sorta deal in place that says if you sell X ammount then the price gets lowered. Or maybe it's Amazon just looking to get people to spend and maybe buy a 2nd item to make up for the $10 hit on the game.
