Mass Effect 2 review

I've been playing Mass Effect 2 pretty much constantly since I got home from London on Sunday evening. Trouble is, it's a difficult game to write about without ruining stuff for people. Not only are there a whole load of major story moments that you need to see for yourself, but the game itself changes depending on stuff you did and said in the first Mass Effect. So even if I did start mentioning specifics about the plot, chances are you might not even experience the game in the same way I do. It's a bloody minefield.

So, what I've tried to do is explain my feelings towards the game in a way that anyone can appreciate, without mentioning anything story- or character-related. I hope it helps.
