In a generation of great RPGs, those accomplishments are magnificent individually but superlative in concert. Even so, perhaps BioWare’s greatest success in Mass Effect 2 has been taking a complex RPG and making it effortless to understand, play and enjoy on a constant basis, because it has done this in a manner that should prove utterly essential to veterans and newcomers alike, and more than enough to suggest Mass Effect 3 will be the most important game in BioWare’s history.

The commitment from Bioware in making this franchise the best it can be is astounding. With the praise the original received it would be easy to release more of the same, but they listened to the community and extensively improved on all of Mass Effect’s faults and even refined and bettered the elements that were so amazing to begin with. Mass Effect 3 can’t come soon enough.

At the same time, the game’s not without some faults. The action tends to chug along during the more intense moments, and enemies have a nasty habit of standing around and waiting to get shot in the face. BioWare also spends considerable time building characters up, only to have them die without any last words or cut scenes, which is a curious decision, considering the ambition behind the rest of the game.

However, in light of Mass Effect 2’s high points, these flaws pale into insignificance. Perhaps the best way to recommend the game is to admit that after completing it for the first time, we glanced at the hours we’d logged and were stunned to see that we’d taken 27 hours to finish it. In truth, it didn’t feel like we’d been playing the game for even half that amount of time.

But Mass Effect 2 is such a staggering achievement it’s hard to consider any other game more deserving of a perfect score. It’s forty-plus hours of top-notch combat, incredible voice-acting, emotional provocation, stunning graphics and exhilarating gameplay of a standard that simply hasn’t been achieved before as a complete package. Some games have great shooting mechanics, some have great RPG elements, and others have a decent story, memorable protagonists or blinding good looks. Very few games have it all. Dammit if I sound like a fanboy, but Mass Effect 2 is made of pure awesome, filled to the brim with natural win and oozes excellence from every pore. Buy it, play it, love it, play it again, remember why you loved it. Simples.
