GamePro: Mass Effect 2: Hard Sci-Fi Preview

GamePro writes:

"Mass Effect was easily one of my favorite games of 2007, stealing away dozens of hours of my life and enticing me to explore every corner of the vast Milky Way. From the visually impressive movie-like quality of the characters and cutscenes to the deep RPG elements that kept me striving for just one more level up.

Mass Effect 2 is looking to up the ante with a load of new features. The sequel will utilize a streamlined approach to item and weapon management (which many felt was unwieldy in the first game), and making quick decisions in combat will be much easier, with shortcuts added to manage each character's combat choices."
