Mass Effect 2



Mass effect was created by Bioware who have a long history of creating good decent games such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, and Dragon Age: Origins. But the game that most interested me was mass effect and mass effect 2.
The game takes place in the future following a human hero named Commander John Sheppard who leads a campaign to stop the powerful semi synthetic organic race referred to as the “Reapers” who aim to strip the galaxy of its resources and technology to complete a cycle which has repeated itself for millions of years.
In this game the goal is to gather elite skilled members from all over the galaxy to make a powerful team to fight against the Reapers as they attempt to annihilate all sentient life through out the galaxy, by putting together a team of the best of the best it is suggested that Sheppard has a higher chance of success.
In the first game you are up against a rouge specter who has been indoctrinated by a Reaper who has been nick named by Seren (the rouge specter) the name given to this Reaper is Sovereign, who is the vanguard of the reapers return, his job is to make sure the reapers can easily return to begin the cycle of animation the Reapers real name however is Nazara, named for reasons unknown. Fortunately Sovereign fails in his attempts to open the mass relays to the Reaper fleet. Killed by Sheppard and the Normandy. That’s a quick summery anyway.
In Mass effect 2 as previously stated he is to gather a strong team to aid him, however it isn’t a reaper he is fighting directly it is a race known as the collectors whose home world sits beyond the Omega 4 relay cut of from the rest of the galaxy. It isn’t known weather the collectors allied with the reapers through choice but they seemed to be acting on behalf of a reaper called Harbinger who is currently with the rest of the reaper fleet out in dark space on the outer rim of the Milky Way. The collectors reassemble bug like creatures with advanced technology, an individual collector can sometimes be controlled by harbinger himself when he attempts to foil Sheppard’s plans.
The game itself is a third person’s shooter with a great variety of weapons and powers in which you can abuse and combine to take care of your enemies quickly and effectively. Their is allot a levelling system so that you are able to make your character stronger, faster and more powerful with his attacks, you are also able to gain paragon and renegade points depending on the actions you choose and depending on how good or bad you are this will unlock more dialect and new options.
The game also has good sound quality giving a different sound for every different action, in combat and out of combat; the background soundtrack is also amazing giving the player a good sense of realism.
The controls to this game are easy to use and conveniently modified for easy movement with your hands however if you do so choose you can modify your controls to how you prefer.
The only thing i don’t like about the game is the fact that on some occasions the game might freeze which can be very frustrating especially once you get into it.

Id rate this game 10 out of 10 for its amazing graphics and game play, and imaginative storyline, definitely a must buy for x box 360 gamers everywhere.
