Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
Amazon.com's Mass Effect 2 Listing has some details on what to expect from BioWare's sci-fi RPG sequel. Word is:
The second chapter in the Mass Effect trilogy takes you to the darkest reaches of space, where you must uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of humans across many worlds. Prepare yourself for a suicide mission to save mankind. Travel the galaxy to assemble a team of soldiers and combat specialists, and launch an all-out assault on the heart of enemy territory.
• The second act of BioWare's epic sci-fi trilogy continues the story of Commander Shepard and humanity's first steps onto the galactic stage
• Success - or failure - depends heavily on the crew you assemble and their loyalty to you and the mission
• Stunning graphics and a refined dialog system will draw you into the story like never before
• Numerous improvements to the intense, third-person shooter combat
• Deep character customization options let you create your own vision of Commander Shepard

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
I thought you weren't going to be playing as Shepard? Anyway, I'd like to be upload my saved Shepard from the first game into this one. Rather than creating a totally new guy that is supposed to be the same guy.

Very cool--Cant wait!
I like the idea of in game gifts for preorders rather than a miniature statue or helmet (useless) but its hard to know if or how good these perks are.
Kind of like how Fable 2 you could win a 'dueling pistol' that sounded cool before the game came out but afterwards it turned out to be pretty generic.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
Seems like it might come out on PS3 later on after the 360 and PC releases given that there's been some talk about it.
How far did you get? I think the common word is that it's a bit slow until you get off the first planet.

I'm about 10 hours into ME1 and love it. Like a poster above, I found it hard to get into --- at first. But now that I'm on my second planet, I love the battle system and just now find myself getting familiar with how to use my biotics. Good stuff... I'm def in for ME2.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
I loved the first one. Even finished it. But I was really put off at the lack of DLC which Bioware was promising. They did release the Arena not long ago, but it has been so long since I finished the game, I have little desire to revisit it. I will get the sequal but more likely after it has been out for a few months. I hope Bioware delivers on the promise of DLC in this new one as well as Dragon Age.

Jeeze, 10 hours and you're only on the 2nd planet? I finished the game in just 12 hours, and I saw pretty much all there was to see. My complaint with the game (besides the bugs, glitches and the overall sense of not quite being a finished product) was that if felt like it was over too soon after it really got going.

Collector's Edition - http://kotaku.com/5397738/mass-effec...dvd-book-comic
Doesn't seem like much, but at least it's only $10 more.
The collector's edition will come in a tin case and include the game, a 48-page hardcover "Art of Mass Effect 2" book, Issue 1 of the Mass Effect Redemption comic book, and a bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes and making-of videos.
The $69.99 edition of the game will also include unique in-game weapons and armor.
