Xbox 360's Newest: Mass Effect 2

By Taylor Sanders

Xbox 360 had its first incarnation of Mass Effect in 2007, said to be the best of its kind in games' history, and when players finished this game, they wanted to keep going. This particular game had a great ending, and it also had some of the best characters most of us who played Mass Effect had ever seen. They were multidimensional, and were so real that they stayed in your mind long after the game was complete. Games like Mass Effect have in fact put Xbox 360 firmly in the lead as far as sales went, and Mass Effect earned a lot of money for Bioware.

If you've played the first incarnation, Mass Effect, on Xbox in recent years, you probably still have the game saved. However, if you had this game, loved it, and deleted it, it's going to make you a little bit sad to know that you're going to missing out on something pretty amazing, indeed.

That's because if you saved the first Mass Effect file, keep it until early next year, because that's when the Xbox 360's Mass Effect 2 is going to be released. With this, you can import your character saved game from Mass Effect; that will mean you start Mass Effect 2 at exactly the same place you left off.

That is not what the big deal is about. The big deal is that your character's moral standing and all the choices you have made in the first Mass Effect carries over to the second game. Your choices affect the second game, and with your saved file you will get the impression of one lengthy experience.

Have you seen the teaser trailer for Mass Effect 2? You probably remember when the credits rolled at the end of the first Mass Effect. In the trailer, though, we get a close-up of a familiar armor suit, with "N7" emblazoned on the chest. Ah-ha, it's Shepherd, the main character.

Oops, no, it's not. Instead, a Geth soldier is wearing the suit, and we find out that Shepherd was killed in action. However, as the saying goes, "accounts of Shepherd's death were greatly exaggerated," and he's right back in Mass Effect 2, facing an entirely new threat.

What's good to know about Mass Effect 2? Well, there are multiple endings, as in the first Mass Effect. This time, your primary mission is a suicide mission, which you will be told about at the beginning of the game. Shepherd and his team know this, too.

You and your entire team can die or you can live. This all depends on the decisions you make throughout the game, and these decisions decide your outcome. However, if your character dies in Mass Effect 2, his death is permanent, which means you will be able to play him Mass Effect 3. - 18758
