GameSpot: Mass Effect 2 Hands-On

GameSpot writes: "While our play on Mass Effect 2 was all-too short, it certainly whetted our appetite for the full game, which is set to launch in Q1 2010. According to Bioware, the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game will launch within days of each other, and the developer claims to have learned lots from its development of the PC version of the first game. We hope to bring you more on Mass Effect 2 in the very near future, so stay tuned to GameSpot.com for more as we get it".

"Mass Effect 2 is looking absolutely stunning in terms of visuals, and Bioware claims to have improved the motion capture, added more polygons to the characters and overhauled the lighting system. The results are spectacular."

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
