I recently re-bought Mass Effect (for my PC this time, since I no longer have a 360) and have been playing through again to get ready for the sequel, which is shaping up to be pretty darn nice. I thought the original was great, it was just a little clunky where the RPG systems and third-person shooter combat converged. But based on gameplay videos of the second installment, this has been rectified.
Here's the E3 preview video. Sadly they've continued to use the male Shepard in all the promo stuff, even though Jennifer Hale's voice is sooo much better.
If you haven't played ME, that video is a bit 'off', and doesn't really capture the game's feel (it's not really about heavy metal in space) but I guess BioWare figures Mass Effect fans will be buying the sequel anyway, so they might as well try marketing for a wider audience (like they did with Dragon Age).
In any case, my favorite little sister sidekick, Tali, is back and still kicking butt hardcore. I can't wait for January 26th. 3 days after my birthday, too. B)
I know I can't be the only lover of space opera here. :wub:
