I played Mass Effect 2 for the first time 4 weeks ago, and was blown away by how vast and immersive the game is. I turned it on at about 10:30 on a friday evening and by 1:00 the following Monday I had logged 42 hours in the game. This is not typical of my gaming habits, but that was a damn fine game.
This was a feat which simultaneously filled me with pride and shame.... lol
I had loaded a previous character from ME1, which made the earlier levels a little easier, but I really liked how the choices you made in one affected you in 2. Also, I would like to echo my frustration that was talked about on the podcast about the "ashley" character where you don't get to explain not having contact info.
Als, on a side note, I want an achievement for sleeping with all three women in the game. maybe a "player" achievement. I first got with jack, then Miranda and after the final mission, "kept it professional" with Miranda, then got with Tali. My character was a whore, but I wasn't sure it could be pulled off. I guess only because the last mission had been finished.
Anywho, great solid game, and the voice overs were really amazing.
