![]() ![]() I know EA’s hands are tied in this respect (playing the original and then the sequel just won’t happen on PS3), but the lack of that connection and ownership makes it feel like you’re playing with someone else’s Shepard. One of the thrills of Mass Effect 2 on 360 was seeing how your smaller choices carried over, and that’s another area where you’ll miss out on PS3. ![]() What’s the point of selecting “Save Wrex” if you have no idea what a great character he is? It omits all of the events of the Feros mission (a large section of the game), the art doesn’t do the story justice, and the moments of decision have practically no context. While it’s better than nothing, the comic is totally lame. BioWare’s answer to that dilemma is the inclusion of a digital comic book that summarizes the plot and prompts you to make a handful of choices that affect the state of the galaxy in Mass Effect 2. Since the first Mass Effect remains an Xbox 360 exclusive, PS3 owners need a way to get caught up on the story before beginning the sequel. ![]() That hasn’t changed for the PlayStation 3 version, but not everything about the experience is the same. If you need a refresher on what made this game so successful, you can read our review of the Xbox 360 version here, but I won’t waste any more time reiterating what everyone already knows: Mass Effect 2 is awesome. With its release on PlayStation 3, the Mass Effect universe reaches out to a new audience and proves that it’s still a must-play title a year later. ![]() The continuation of BioWare’s blockbuster sci-fi franchise was one of the most acclaimed games of 2010. At this point, if you need me to tell you that Mass Effect 2 is a great game, you just haven’t been paying attention. ![]()
