Not only was the first Mass Effect labeled the best game of 2007, but it is still said to be the best RPG in the history of games. When we finished the first Mass Effect, we wanted more. It had one of the best endings; those of us that played the game would agree that Mass Effect had some of the best characters. Not only were the characters deep, but they remained in your mind long after the game was completed. It is games like Mass Effect that get sales up for the Xbox 360 and it is Mass Effect that earned Bioware lots of money.
If you have played Mass Effect on Xbox recently, then you probably still have your saved game. To those that have played it when it was first released, loved everything about it and deleted the saved game, you would not be too happy when you know that you will be missing out on a very big treat.
If you still have the first Mass Effect file, saved, you can keep it until early next year. At that time, Mass Effect 2 will be released, and you can actually import your saved game so that you’ll start right off in Mass Effect 2 where you left off in the first Mass Effect game.
However, that’s not all the good news. What’s really good about this is that the moral standing of your character and the choices made in the first Mass Effect game goes right on into the second game. These choices also affect your second game, and if you save your file, you’ll basically have one long unbroken experience that seamlessly transitions into the next level.
Have you seen the teaser trailer for Mass Effect 2? You probably remember when the credits rolled at the end of the first Mass Effect. In the trailer, though, we get a close-up of a familiar armor suit, with “N7″ emblazoned on the chest. Ah-ha, it’s Shepherd, the main character.
Only, it’s not. Actually, a Geth soldier wears the suit, and we learn that Shepherd was killed in action. However, these accounts, as they say, were greatly exaggerated, and he’s actually back in Mass Effect 2, with a whole new threat to face.
What’s good to know about Mass Effect 2? Well, there are multiple endings, as in the first Mass Effect. This time, your primary mission is a suicide mission, which you will be told about at the beginning of the game. Shepherd and his team know this, too.
You and your team can live or die. This depends on what you decide throughout the game, and ultimately you’ll decide your own outcome. However, if your character does die in this latest Mass Effect, the second, rest assured that you can return in the third installment, Mass Effect 3.
