Past the end of 2007, a new game was born from the hands of developers who previously had been known for Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare. Released under the title Mass Effect, the game brings back action RPG genre that has become a mainstay of the genre of the developer. With the display settings of space a la Star Trek as a background story, Mass Effect gameplay again presents a combination of TPS with RPG elements of Western-style emphasis on the aspect of the story and visuals cinematic.
Hence, no doubt that these games have accumulated a lot of good responses from the various gaming industry. Continue the success that had previously been carried by the name of the game, BioWare also spawned one more game Mass Effect, which was in fact mentioned will be a trilogy.
Continuing the adventure story of Commander Shepard and the crew of the SSV Normandy, Mass Effect 2 back up the story in the space ship. No half-hearted, at the beginning of this game, gamers immediately presented with a tense scene where Normandy was under attack from a foreign ship. In a successful attack that destroyed the space ship, Shepard gave evacuation orders to the entire crew. To evacuate the crew managed to Normandy, but not with him. He slammed into space after successfully convincing interpreter wheel, Joker, to enter into the pod evacuation. Failed to save himself, Shepard was killed.
Two years after the incident, Shepard woke up in a space station owned by Cerberus. Apparently, Shepard’s body had been taken over and revived by the group. Woke up in a situation again due to intense enemy attack, Shepard had to defend himself. From there, he then met with two agents Cerberus, Miranda and Jacob. The meeting was then delivered to the person who called the Illusive Man. The man wanted to once again lead the crew of the SSV Normandy and fight the new threat to all inhabitants of the colony. Sci-fi theme brought with spices add complexity to the story of this game is very interesting to follow through to completion.
Mass Effect 2 carried the genre who are classified as action RPG, where the game combines action gameplay style games or third-person shooter in general, with a touch of Western-style RPG that allows you to manage the development of your character’s role. In the game, you can choose to continue with this sequel to the Shepard’s you create and play the first game, or create a new character for Shepard you have just started to play at this time. You can call it (only as a first name that will not impact on the game), set the following gender physical appearance, choosing a job classes to master, and the background of his character. For the custom features of physical appearance, this game could be fairly well in providing details, although the physical form of the option is still considered somewhat less in presenting many variations. As for her job class, there is the same six options as pre-sequel: Soldier, Infiltrator, Vanguard, Engineer, Adept, and the Sentinel, with its own specialization in each class.
Touch of action is a very important role in this game, and the same thing with its RPG elements. In the game you can have a separate class jobs and develop the existing skill levels of the gain experience points (to leveling). Fairly common feature found in those games with the RPG genre. In addition, you will also be visiting from place to place, completing a quest/side quest particular, interact with NPCs, buy items / equipments, and change the look of armor at will. As a party of the team you are 10 characters who specializes in their respective classes, which you can also increase his skill points. Not merely act as NPCs that help you in battle, the team members can also invite you to socialize with the dialogue. The dialogue is not just dialogue. Response options in the dialogue will determine the development of your relationship with the team members, as well as the way the story line.
Herein lies the power of Mass Effect, giving you freedom in determining the course of the story as a role (role) is good or evil. So, various options available dialogue has a good influence (Paragon) or bad (Renegade). By making good choices more, you can increase the options for a closer dialogue with other characters you. While the bad choices dominate, you’ll open more choices in the intimidating character. In addition in contact with the NPC, you can also run missions as requested from each. In addition, one more score in the sequel this time and even allows you to make a good decision / bad not only limited to dialogue, but also in action. At a certain sequence, you will be given the opportunity to make a pressing LT heroic actions, and there are also times when you are offered the opportunity to press RT evil act.
In addition both action and RPG elements are still well maintained, this sequel presents an update on the features of mini-games such as hacking and the bypass system that will award you points, as well as new mining mechanisms. At this time you can travel from planet to planet to collect the results of mine that you can use to perform the upgrade. The same is true there in the first game, but now you enough control scanning from Normandy and launched the probe that will automatically gather the results of your quarry. With a blend of interesting gameplay elements, making this game really can suck you to continue to stay in play. Not to mention with the existing level of variation from place to place. Well organized to keep you in order not to get bored.
If previously you’ve been satisfied with the quality of graphics that were presented at the first Mass Effect, you’ll surely even more impressed at this time. Character design performed by pulling back, and even, this time with a more in-depth detail. Texture on the character shown even better, as well as textures on objects and backgrounds increasingly fine. Cinematic quality and there was a dramatization that was served with the more satisfactory for this game, not to mention added with a touch grainy effect that makes this game more like a movie. Nuances of the settings of the planets to the planet also felt quite varied. Unfortunately, it does not mean that the graphics quality of this game is practically perfect whole. There are times when the frame rate drop is still found fairly often in this game, with a plus is still a bug or glitch is quite clearly visible. And loading includes as one minus the value for this game. Loading process is happening at the turn of places deemed sufficient to make saturated, especially coupled with re-loading also occurs when you die and live again.
As a strong game in the cinematic elements and dramatics, do not underestimate the sound quality of this game. Voice acting is amazing from the charger voice really makes this game more realistic, supported also by a lip-sync is good. Dialogue between characters performed with the right tone and voice are not boring, make this game more realistic in terms of sound. Background music is the setting you explore space adventure was played with quite fit the situation.
Once tried, then you will be ‘stuck’ to continue the story of this game onwards. Every choice you make will determine how your adventures continue. Once making the decision, then you can not take it back. That makes this game replayable have a very high value. Options would be interesting to try. In addition, there are many additional missions that you can take from the NPC and also a member of your team. Thus, exploration really going to do from planet to planet, mission to mission, until each character. Planets that are available there is a lot to you explore the solar system in two DVDs, which will require you to change the disc in a move to a specific place.
This action RPG today. Mass Effect 2 has been proved that the combination of TPS and RPG can be something fun. So, Star Trek-style theme can be packed with a combination of these. Action-based third-person shooter makes these games are not boring to play. Though thick with action, a touch of RPG remains no less dominating in this game. Starting from party member system, job class, leveling, questing, so relationships can be established with the character. Not to mention the role-playing that really puts you in the position as head of SSV Normandy. Make decisions that determine the course of the story as well as determine the role of good or evil character. And more fun again, support the cinematic visuals and the right character traits really felt very strong in you enter into the gameplay with a story that will continue to grow more mature throughout the game. After Army of Two: The 40th Day, Mass Effect 2 would seem to make this year be better for EA and the gamers. One reasonable candidate nominated “Game of the Year” this year.
