This game can't come soon enough for me - the first game was one of the best RPG's I've played in the last few years, and if the sequel is as good or better, it'll be another incredible experience.

Agreed. One of the best RPG's and one of the best Sci-Fi stories of all time. Right up there with Star Wars. And now they're taking a page out of Joseph Campbell's book (and George Lucas') with the Hero's Adventure paradigm. It's already a classic.

Amazon UK has it down as 31 Oct.

Bioshock 2(30th Oct) and Assasin Creed 2(21 Nov) also came up in a search for "Mass Effect 2" oddly enough. I suppose they may be "games regularly bought together"

I had previously seen the video but acid shooting hornets are always a daymaker. Can't wait until some idiot thinks they'd make good pets, then release them, so we can all share on the magic...

Nice to know that Mass Effect 2 won't have the rainbows and sunshine stories of slavery, illegal medical experiments, and genocide that gave us warm fuzzies in the original Mass Effect.

Just picked the PC version of this a few weeks back. pretty damn good game, I've been told it better to play through several times.
I'm not keen on the very very hilly n bumpy planets though. Or the once every 2 hour auto-saves where one messy run in with a Geth could lead you repeating the past hour of gameplay.
Still if its Empire Strikes back "oh no they got Han!" depressing and not "I'm Anakin Emo and I cut myself" depressing all will be fine.

Yes, and you will have to choose which one you want to have sex with.

Oh, and the sex scenes are motion detecting camera compatible.

If by "totally 360 exclusive" you mean "totally 360 and PC exclusive" then you are correct.

SPOILER ALERT!







YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!




DO NOT SCROLL DOWN!





which ending was the canon one in the end? Rengade's Gov gets off'd, Humans are the new leaders of the galaxy or Paragon's Gov gets saved, Humans are offered a spot in the council? It kinda changes the entire out look and the way the story could play out.

it's not Star Wars, I don't really think there's an official way it happened, especially considering your save from the first game affects the second game. I'm guessing if you haven't played the first one, you'll do something like in KOTOR 2 where you talk to someone about past events and your responses determine what happened

Apparently ME2 will take this into account. Hence the repeated "keep your old saves" warnings.
So whatever you chose will be canon, and I'm guessing they have some fancy stuff to cope with the change of story. Including if you SPOILER ALERT Kill or nuke any of your team mates.

I believe one of the books follows the Paragon ending, but yeah, the game will carry on from whichever you chose.

Personally, playing as a good character I actually took the renegade choice.. It seemed like the right thing to do to me.

I agree snowblind, I found it odd that the most important Good/Bad choice was the least clear as to it's morality. I originally picked let the council die because I assumed saving the alliance lives was the paragon choice

I'm playing the first one again. And probably will go through it another time,.

That way, when ME2 hits, I'll have 3 starting points to choose from for when I replay ME2 :D

Bioware have always liked the morally grey morality choices.
On Bring down the Skies gave you the choice to stop the dude form crashing an asteroid into a planet but he would kill the hostages, or you let him go, but be able to save the hostages

You can still save the council as a renegade, and you can still kill the council as a paragon. The dialog and background are slightly different depending on your reputation.


"I believe one of the books follows the Paragon ending"

The prologue in Ascension simply refers to "the council". Regardless of your choices at the end of the game, the council still exists as a political body.

@Snowblind + Dark Wayne

That really irked me on my first playthrough too. I played Paragon straight through, then at the end I presumed that saving the folks on the Citadel was more important than saving the Council. Then the + Renegade points pops up and I'm like WTF?? Like Wayne said, the most important choice in the game is the least clear. Annoying.

This has got to be one of the biggest and most anticipated games coming to the 360. I loved Mass Effect more than my first born child. I don't have a child, but if I did I would've ignored him. Okay, maybe I would've played with him a little during the elevator load times, BUT THAT'S IT!

I'm pumped about having it connect to your previous saved game. That's something that seems so simple but makes a huge difference in comparison to other sequels. It makes you feel like you are part of something bigger and will probably make the ME universe seem even bigger than it already does.

Awesome-o!

I think Mass Effect 3 will have to come out in like 2020 depending on how serious they are. The amount of possible options in 1 is pretty large. The amount of choices in 2 will be huge and then there'd be choices that come up based on your actions from 1 and then all the choices that come from the choices made in 2 and then.....

I don't think I have a large enough brain to comprehend that much AWESOME

Way to make random references. He compared it to Star Wars not some random drivel that came out your head.

....wait a minute George Lucas made 3 more Star Wars movies....... suppressed memories returning...murderous rage rising....must kill Jar Jar.....and Ewoks

I figured this was a Sprinkles, but his previous comments were a bit too non-confrontational.

Just took him 37 comments to show his true form. Plus his profile is private

Sprinkes, you are a deluded loser. Your just a fucking retard, not everyone who calls you out is a Sony fanboy, their just ticked because your a 23-year old loser who still trolls on websites and spouting this sorta of middle school garbage. Some of us feel pity for you too.

I hope Mass Effect 2 will come to PC at the same time as the console release or not long afterwards, same goes for the next Grand Theft Auto game.

You crazy dawg.
