Product ReviewsMass Effect 2 (Sony PlayStation 3, 2011 PS3) Brand new Factory Sealed

Mass effect 2 is well worth a look for older gamers too.

A really fun game. Graphics are dated, but, a compelling story where you choose how it goes with choices you make. I don't understand the battle scheme yet, but, run and gun works for me lol. I love the exploring at my pace and choosing which mission I do. And I really care about my team and ship.Read full review...

expected more of a shooter than an RPG

it wouldn't be fair for me to review this game because I was looking for a shooter and kind of went based on the cover of the game. it look like a shooter I was wrong. Now I can't give it away I would like to give it away honestly it's my fault that I didn't read so I shouldn't make the retailer suffer for my lax investigation of the gameRead full review...

Mass Effect 2 may be Game of the Year 2011 check it out

Mass Effect 2 may not have the mad throngs of rabid game buyers lined up like the Call of Duty titles, but it is no less relevant. The mad scientist programmers at Electronic Arts have brought ME2 to the PS3 with more features than any previous editions of the franchise game. The game picks up where the last version left off, even giving a comic book style recap for those new to the story. Some players of the first Mass Effect may not like the way the story picks up, but the writers at EA gave us plenty of new features to make anyone forget the old game.
You will have the opportunity to put together your own team of killers to protect humanity from it's deadliest threat ever. The fighting sequences are stellar, as are the variety of weapons available. You will need to explore the universe (really, you will need to explore a HUGE universe) to assemble the best team to go to battle.
The graphics are stunning, and the game should keep most gamers busy for weeks at least, not a couple days like so many disappointing games in the recent past.
Mass Effect 2 for Playstation 3 is well worth the $59, and may even end up getting the covetted Game of the Year title for 2011.Read full review...

Great sci-fi RPG worth trying and completeing...and then repeating :)

I was actually recommended to try this product from one of the great (geeky) guys at GameStop. When I told him that I'd played the Fable series, Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Halo, and the Assassin's Creed series, so the guy recommended I play this. I was tentative to try but, I figured it was only $10 and worth a shot. Besides, with GameStop's "you can return a used game within 7 days no questions asked" policy, I figured I would try it out and, if I didn't like it, return it.

Well let me tell you - I tried it out, and I was FLOORED. I loved the interaction between the characters alone, they build the story so much. And the combat is great, working with your team to take down the thugs. I've gone on now to play Mass Effect 2, and have ME3 preordered even. This game has become, by far, my favorite game over all time. And all thanks to a little employee at GameStop - I should send him flowers.Read full review...

Mass Effect 2 story is very deep the way you answer each question or respond to people can alter how your missions pan out or how people react towards you the combat is so great you never get bored & IT'S VERY FUN the graphics are top notch you can choose from 6 classes from soldier to sentinel each have their individual powers.You can make your character a ruthless sole survivor from earth or a colonist that got into the military at a young age so you can be a nice guy or a anti-hero type that does what heshe wants this alone gives it replay value so you can explore both sides & see parts of the story you didn't in the other the squad members are great they react to how you speak to them they each have a loyalty mission which if you complete you can gain their loyalty & unlock special abilities Bottom get the game I'm planning on beating the game with all 6 classes on the hardest difficulties this is challenging & funRead full review...

2nd Best shooting game I've ever played

Mass effect 2 is one of the best video games of all time hands down! Unlike most shooting games nowadays, it has an excellent campaign mode that actually takes some time to complete (it took me a month on medium!). Right now, I'm playing it on insanity (the hardest video game difficulty) and it is extremely difficult, but it is also extremely fun! I also like that the decisions that you make for commander Sheppard (the main character) influences the rest of the game for better, or for worse. This game is also highly addictive (I spent a few nights playing the game instead of going to sleep and wound up playing until morning!). The only negative things that I can say about this game is that there is no online mode and the game sometimes freezes and gets occasional glitches, although this doesn't happen often. In all, this game is second only to the first Killzone and it is a VERY close second. Highly recommended for all gamers.Read full review...

Game Of The Year 2010/2011

Really excited that this game has finally come to the PS3. This is the best RPG I have played since Final Fantasy X. Reminds me a lot of "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic", so if you have played any of that series you will fall in love with this, as well as any shooter fan because this game has a well done 3rd person shooter engine. This game also brings in something new and unique, an evolving story line, every decision you make will create different outcomes and paths of the storyline. Besides that, the story is amazing, very deep and detailed. It is a story that would make an Academy Award winning movie. Buy the game, it has something that every gamer would enjoy. This is the best game I own, and that is saying something.

PROS
-Beautiful Graphics
-Amazing Story
-Will appeal to shooter & RPG fans
-Great voice acting & emotion
-Will keep you busy because this game is very long, about 40-50hours, but doing every side quest could double that
-Combat is enjoyable
-Great Character Customization
-Make the story go as you want it

CONS
-Occasional cut scene bugs with character voices not matching lip movement
-Some frame drop in very intense combat and in some cut scenes
-Auto save locks up the game for about 30secs, SOMETIMESRead full review...

I love this game and hope they make a 4th installment.

This is an excellent game. The dialog is top notch, and it feels like a huge universe. The game can sometimes suffer on PS3 from frame rate drops. This happens in specific areas where there's a lot of stuff going on or a lot of different textures being used. Also, the load times can be a bit long. I would recommend any PS3 user who plays this to defragment their system after installing the game.Read full review...
