One of the best games of 2010, Mass Effect 2, is now being released for the PS3 in 2011 after an announcement by BioWare and EA at the GamesCom European game trade show.
The hugely popular sequel Mass Effect 2 has already received over 70 perfect scores from media outlets such as the Associated Press, Eurogamer, MSNBC.com, G4TV, and the Los Angeles Times. It is the highest-rated game in the 15-year history of BioWare and the 28-year history of EA.

Mass Effect 2: A Game-Changing Experience
If you have already played the first Mass Effect game on your PS3, you won’t be able to import your saved game data for continuity, which has been the same for the Xbox 360. This means that PS3 players will start fresh, but BioWare has promised to include an interactive comic that summarizes the events of the first game, allowing players to make key decisions that will impact their Mass Effect 2 experience.
EA has also stated that the PS3 game will include ‘hours of bonus content’. Let’s hope it is similar to the huge amount of updates they have already released for download on the other platforms the game has already been released on. This additional content is expected to include various downloadable content (DLC) packs that were previously available on other platforms, such as “Lair of the Shadow Broker,” “Kasumi – Stolen Memory,” and “Overlord.” These expansions add significant depth and replayability to the game, offering new missions, characters, and storylines.
What Makes Mass Effect 2 Stand Out?
Mass Effect 2 is renowned for its rich storytelling, complex characters, and immersive universe. The game follows Commander Shepard as they assemble a team to take on a suicide mission to save the galaxy from a mysterious alien race known as the Collectors. The choices players make throughout the game have far-reaching consequences, affecting relationships, story outcomes, and even the survival of team members.
The game also features a refined combat system, blending third-person shooting mechanics with role-playing elements. Players can customize their character’s abilities, weapons, and armor, tailoring their playstyle to suit their preferences. The game’s graphics and sound design are top-notch, creating a visually stunning and emotionally engaging experience.
Moreover, Mass Effect 2’s voice acting is exceptional, featuring performances from well-known actors such as Martin Sheen, Yvonne Strahovski, and Seth Green. The game’s dialogue system allows for dynamic conversations, with players choosing responses that can lead to different outcomes and character interactions.
