Mass Effect 2 -Bester part of the series ??

Graphics:
Well, even though I'd like to say something else, even when Release 2 ME has no new standards on matters set graphics. But she is doing well, it is Rock-solid, the many bugs undundund ...... as in the first part, fortunately, are gone, the characters were further revised and look as good as ever. However, I noticed that in ME 2, the infamous twisted heads and eyes occur (is a matter of luck, may be that it does not happen in the game, or even several times when it happens but it bothers all the more).

Rating: 7/10

Sound & Dialogues:
To Soundtrack I need not say much. Jack Walls soundtrack fits, the sound effects also fit. However, Shepard has a new speaker (!!) what some regurgitation can sour. The new "Shepard sounds casual and perhaps even arrogant as the old general, I feel in the game also bad, because even some exemplary decisions had previously been considered likely as deep Renegade (since then come things like approximately:. As you'll harassed by mercenaries? No problem that I bang all off !! "(....) Do you know who I am? I am a Spectre !! So leave her alone or you are a head shorter!" .... .). Some of it is also due Story (more on that later). In general, however, the dialogues are livelier than in Part 1, they are not as stilted and cheesy and the characters do not have to be as stiff and motionless as before.

Rating: 9/10

Story & Characters:
The most important part in Mass Effect! So the story .... Wait a minute, there is a story ?? For those who have not played ME 1 and it also definitely not going there to Wikipedia a concise summary of the first part. But now back to ME 2 (SPOILER WARNING):
At the very beginning we are confronted with an attack on the Normandy. The majority of the crew, we can save our ship and ourselves but not. 2 Years Later we wake up, the organization Cerberus has revived us quietly. We are told that during our absence, the Council has betrayed us and the collectors' human colonies procrastinate, and we should stop them. For this, we get a new ship and the task of compiling the strongest greatest possible team to the suicide mission, namely the infiltration and destruction the collectors to master.
That's it !!!
Thus, the second part also differs quite from the first, where we played the first human Spectre celebrated. We are an outsider, deported soldier, whatever. While playing I felt this even dirtier. "We are constantly driving around with zwielichten places and felt 70% of the recruited members are criminals, even in our old pals like Garrus ran in the last 2 years a lot wrong, why spreads a certain cynicism (Garrus: Man was not allowed to look in the mirror Be honest, Shepard, how bad it is.? "Shepard: Garrus, you have always been a bit ugly make-up and no one will notice the difference.." Garrus: Damn , Shepard, do not make me laugh. My face is anyway kept only with difficulty together. "). But for me ME 2 has absolutely convinced the story may still be so short, she is told terrific! In any case, in the Mass Effect series is the most important, what is happening between the lines. We still have time and more people on our team that are presented so personable and detail once again that it is a delight. Everyone has to tell his own story, from which we again could make a Games trilogy and the imagination does the rest, so that each player his own personal "Commander Shepard and every game different experiences. In addition, there are now more opportunities for (love) relationships ,

Score: 10/10 (otherwise it would be a Mass Effect game not worthy)

Gameplay:
Here thick cuts were made. There are far fewer weapons (existing differ for longer) than in Part 1. There is viiiiieeeeel less skills, I really had to play to feel a pure ego shooter with a few special moves, especially now the change of weapon upgrades / armament in a mission is impossible and upgrades are only researched and is then installed for each member who can use it, oh and armor, there is now only one (the one but then may adjust). When Shooter ME plays 2 also brisk, which is why the success of less than the skill level / dependent happiness. Bosses, there are also no longer really. Oh and the vehicle / exploration missions were canceled and Replace by even more boring planet scans to cope with the successful of the game. Because mine is just too stark difference. Pure Action where you can not even talk to his teammates and then suddenly Laber Laber Planet Scan Planet Scan. the discoverer charming remains of this, you're running anyway only by nested level Hoses.
Above all, it gave me a high hurdle, I have about 5 hours of play bulged to really get along in the game. For example, the map now even more complicated than in part 1 and often lies not even be called up (?!?)
The role players is annoying especially that there is no display at the weapons, skills and upgrade the rate of fire, damage ...... lists. Then I always wondered when playing, whether it would ever make a difference if I would do the same mission at Level 1 using the standard weapons. One can only guess whether an upgrade has brought what, especially since Shepard's life bar only always the same large beams and representing the vitals at the squadmates only the color of the display.
The controller has been changed, you can now quickly occupy key for abilities, however annoying the cover system, constantly immersed shepard from players in the heat of battle suddenly from cover to what is often fatal.

Rating: 5/10 (but very subjective, everyone can look different)

Others:
- The elevator runs were incidentally deleted, for that you get now very often the loading screen to face
- Many decisions have only towards the end meaning, I only say this much: definitely the Normandy make as much as possible and get the whole team loyal, otherwise it may end badly with the final death of many friends!
- Dialogs can interrupt now by model / renegade actions
- The selection of the possible answers is now no longer ingratiate / apostate skills, but determined by shepards mind
- Gather resources is now important to be able to upgrade, weapons ... explore
- We collect only money instead of n items
- ME 2 has a huge replay value, it's almost a sin to play it only once

Conclusion:
I will not sugarcoat, me 2 has improved technically, but is also no reference. Even as a shooter, the game is only second-rate, even if that accounts for a large proportion of the Game. But story moderately and presentation technically the game captures and absolutely worth every second. Once again you feel the Mass Effect universe drawn and will not let go until the XBOX catches fire. Even Shepard remains thanks character importing in part 1 (should the you absolutely played) personally and his friends absolutely lovable (especially since you can decide who should be the). Also, the replay value is maximized.
Buy recommendation for each of the story is not absolutely resistant and a bit longer can deal with a game.
Although I'm only 4 stars, but values ​​like this on 5 star, for all the entertaining hours that has given me this game
