I wouldnt put any sort of stock in a review posted this far from release, factoring in the time to play and the fact reviews take time to edit and stuff they woulda had to play the game around 2 months ago which is highly unlikely to be the final version if it takes about a month to print copies of the final version before shipping.

Plus some sites will post a final review based on preview footage and claim its based on the full game.

ooops didnt realise it was from the official xbox mag, i'd ignore the whole thing in that case since they are pretty much untrustworthy these days what with the amount of negatives scores based on stupid things like lack of online multiplayer modes in games that wouldnt work online.

That was a pretty short and uninformative review. You can get more info about the game from the pre-release previews. It seems like they rushed it out to be "WORLD FIRST!!!111one!" instead of doing any work with it. I think I'll wait for an actual proper review or, heaven forbid, the actual GAME before I decide...

Anyway thought or opinions on whats revealed about the game? Personally it sounds like it's improved in all the wrong ways but it'll probably be worth one playthrough.

How exactly is it "improved in all the wrong ways"? Care to elaborate?

How can you review a game you haven't played?

"Hm... I guess this could happen... and that would be good"

It's a review from a Xbox Magazine. ME2 main platform is the 360(and PC) so it's natural that they get this ahead, usually in a version that it's not complete. They also biased cause it's their exclusive.(sort of.)

This may just be OXM being consoletards (it's not a term I normally use but it's the only word I could think of) but they say that it improves on the combat, the gunplay, more and bigger guns, no mako and better random planet exploration. And whilst these are all good ideas I feel the game would be better if it focused on getting a better story, more developed characters, deeper world and improved choice and consiquences instead.

Well, in all fairness, those are all things that were major complaints in the first game. I'm not suprised that Bioware did their best to fix those issues. But those improvements were known for a long while and don't reall come as any suprise. As I mentioned, the review is crap and there is hardly any useful info in it.

But look at it this way: It's Bioware - If there's one thing they usually deliver in their RPGs then it's story and characters. I'm willing to put a bit of faith in them, especially since they delivered quite well with Dragon Age.
