Never played the first one, so i prolly didn't get the full experience.
I gotta say, the game is visually delightful. Some moments really stood out for me on a visual level, like at the beginning of the game when your character goes back to get the pilot as the ship's been blown apart, you walk through a section where the top of the ship is gone and you can stare into other space, the dimension of it all, the ambiance, all the particles, a really impressive sight.
I should had taken a screenshot but it was the beginning of the game and i thought it would became standard later on. sadly, not quite. There were a few races that i didn't care for the designs of, especially the "blue ones" (the Asari), seems lazy and not really interesting. Humans looked like crap too.
However, i really like most of the other ones, especially the Quarian, the Turian and the Korgan, Legion the Geth was pretty cool looking too.
Although the game has a very realistic look, it manages to have a subtle style to it, maybe too subtle but it's there.
The gameplay feels a lil slow, but looking back, it's very solid and works well. Moving around towns can b annoying though cause as i mentioned, it's slow. I can apriciate realism in physics but i was getting really bored. can't b helped, RPGs are always slow paced i guess. still, way way better than Dragon age.
The plot was pretty good, it really kept me interested in the game, enabled character development and i enjoyed it, however, having not played the first, and this game certainly destined to have a sequel of it's own, I feel like i came in the middle of a movie and left before the end. When i beat the game it felt like the story was just gettin started really. Kinda sucks...
I can't really fault the developers for that, there's only so much plot u can cram into a game, and it's an effective strategy from a marketing point of view, but you really can't play just one game of this series. The perfect analogy would be that it's like only watching the 2nd "lord of the rings" movie.
You know, this is what it feels like really, watching a movie. except that the gameplay is filler scenes and u pick the course of the story.
I dunno if I'd even recommend this to myself, what i will recommend to anyone is: Cheat and max out your minerals/metals, because the planet scanning is a terrible idea, serves no real purpose besides forcing u to do a excruciatingly boring task between missions. Slows down the game (Story and action wise) to unacceptable levels.
I guess i "sort of want"
You know what? if you're patient and enjoy a good story, play it. If you have limited free time, maybe not a good choice.
