How to start...

What a game, bought the first one on advice from a friend of me last week, and finished it in over a day.
Then i was too siked to buy the new one, but i went to get it (50 euros well spent :D). I installed it on my 360's hd and off i went for a 10 hour gaming spree like never before.
The game is pure gold, all the choices, the endless possibilities, the great story, etc ...
It's game of the year for me already..

you're thoughts on this?

I completed it last night, managed to merk all the achievements in one go except for completing it on insanity. I'll get to doing that in a few days. Fantastic game though.

firkles,

buy mass effect 2, you can play enough bioshock 2 when it's a classic.
i had the same dilemma, saw them both looking at me in the store, and i went with mass effect, more bang for your buck (or pound sterling in your case ;))

I just ordered it for the PC - get bored of FPS games and I think MS2 is a bit different so I took your advice :mrgreen:

Awesome game.

The first game was good, but didn't really have its own atmosphere, it was great a game but it felt very basic, and I felt detached playing it.

The 2nd one they nailed it down, the cinematic cut scenes, the complicated storylines, and art direction gives the game its own unique style. The combat is tight too, and keeps you invested.

Best game I have played on the 360 yet.

tempted to get this, should one play the first or does it not matter?

also, is it a fallout beater?

Yes, it's a trilogy! So it's better you play the first one to be up to date with the story.
It's already a classic on 360, so i got if for 29.99 euro's which is a safe price :D

And it is deffo a fallout beater, it's more intense, but lacks the freedom you had with fallout.

Cant really compare ME and Fallout, it would like be saying "is water better than oxygen?"


But aye, ME is really immersive. Some really tense situations.
