How…do you guys…find the time??? LOL. I have no idea where I'm at, at this point, but I don't think I'm very far. I just helped Thane with his bro and saved a ship from crashing into a planet or something lol.

I'm on my second playthrough with my level 30 Vanguard. I'm playing on Insanity so I can try to snatch up the last two Achievements I have left. The crazy thing is, after I finish this run, I still want to play as an Adept, Sentinel, and maybe an Infiltrator.

Fantastic game. It definitely deserves the 5 out of 5 that you gave it. I loved the first Mass Effect, but after playing this game, it renders the first virtually unplayable. It's still an amazing game, but Mass Effect 2 improves every single aspect.

My only problem is with the mineral scanning. When you have dozens upon dozens of planets to scan, the small, slow-moving reticule just doesn't cut it. I like the idea of collecting minerals to earn upgrades, but I'd rather they completely refine this mini-game or completely remove it altogether. If it does return in Mass Effect 3, the scanning needs to be twice as fast, and the reticule should be twice as big.

I have played this game 2 times already, and I will probably play through it one more time right before Mass Effect 3 comes out.

This games raises story telling in games to a level that no other game has done before. I think it deserves a 6 out of 5.
