Mass Effect 2 Reviewed, in so Many Words

For as long as I’ve been playing games, about the highest praise that I could give a title was to say, “I can’t wait to play it all over again.” Some of my all-time favorites, like last year’s Uncharted 2, have excited me enough to replay them three or four times within mere months of their release. Mass Effect 2 manages to be something entirely… different. It marks the first time I’ve ever loved a game in such a way that I am staunchly opposed to playing it again, in deference to the unforgettable adventure Commander Shepard and I created.

About our scale… the number of words in our review reflects the score of the game. In practical terms, you could assume that games reviewed in 49 words or fewer should be avoided, games reviewed in 50-75 words would make a decent rental, and games reviewed in 76 words or more would make a solid purchase.

Wow, a hundred. Is this the first or second game to get that 100 score from you Mike?
wow… Well said Mik.
Well deserved in my opinion. And I only gave it a 98 because I figured I would take into account the fact that players aren’t big fans of scanning planets.
Ah, I just reviewed it based on what I thought of the game, rather than what I thought other people might think of it.
