Either path is possible in BioWare’s smash hit, Mass Effect 2. Set out to lead your team to victory… or die at the hands of The Collectors. Once you embark on missions, you’ll be treated to an improved battle system that lets you target weak points and blast off your enemy’s limbs with a variety of weapons. Shepard is more customizable than ever, letting you create your ideal lead character - gender, facial features, class, and of course, attitude. Also, Shepard can interrupt the conversation when given the appropriate prompt, taking situations into new directions that could help or hinder the mission. The camera now pans around characters as they talk to one another to evoke a dramatic, cinematic feel. Fortunately, the conversation system has been improved. Just like in the previous game, what you say to the other characters matters a great deal. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong. To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy’s most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built.
Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged.
