As long as you don't go in expecting too much ME 2 is a very good game. So, ME 2 not being an RPG is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your own personal preference. Then again, as Yathzee pointed out ME 2 is not a great shooter either. The game tries to be a lot of things, but doesn't exactly shine in any one particular area, except in the storyline department.A1 said:Umm, do you mean that in a good way or a bad way?Telperion said:I must point out that ME 2 is not an RPG. It's a 3rd Person Shooter fest with the lightest of possible RPG elements stacked on top of a good storyline.
I whole-heartedly agree with Yahtzee that the most of the side-missions can get awefully repetitive, and you can always guess when a gang of bad guys is going to jump you. Just look out for random stacks of crates, boxes, high pilars and whatnot. Basically anything that the game's cover system can stick to, and soon enough you will come under fire.
I especially loath this part of the game during one mission when Abominations and Husks seem to literally spawn straight out of the floor and rush at you in swarms.
