Mass Effect 2: Welcome to Omega (GamePro Preview)

GamePro writes:
"Our recent demo with Mass Effect 2 definitely proved that the planetary colony Omega is not a safe place for humans. Before we even got our hands on the controllers during a recent demo at the EA headquarters in Redwood City, CA, Commander Shepard was dead. It wasn't the Reapers, the shadowy beings that continue to threaten the Milky Way. It wasn't even Legion, the mysterious new Geth assassin who debuted in the very first Mass Effect 2 trailer. Of all things, it was nothing more than a poisoned cocktail drink that killed our hero.

"Yeah, that kind of thing can happen," quipped our Bioware representative as he reloaded the game. Batarians, the main antagonists of the iPod Touch/iPhone title Mass Effect Galaxy and one of the less trustworthy races of Mass Effect, still have a track record of hating humans (who are still not overwhelmingly popular in this galaxy) and Bioware doesn't want you to forget small details like that. After all, if you were a famous human among an alien species that hated your entire race, would you take a drink from one of these four-eyed thugs?"

I simply cannot wait any longer for Mass Effect 2.

All the different outcomes and possible story arks that could occur over the Mass Effect trilogy boggles the mind!

I mean think about it. The choices made in ME1 roll over into ME2 and then again into ME3.

I can think of five big decisions made in ME1 that could make a difference to the rest of the trilogy just off the top of my head and I know there are more than that in the game.

The replay value for this series is going to be excellent.

I know! I got 3-4 playthroughs out of ME1, that's over 75 hours! ME2 looks like GOTY 2010 (I know how naive that sounds) at least as far as single player is concerned.

The author of the preview is an amazing writer. That was one entertaining preview.
