The title developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts will be bigger and better in every way than the first installment in the series and some of the biggest changes will affect combat. It seems that biotic users might be the ones to benefit the most from the changes."

i just got into mass effect after owning it for 1 year. I thought it was boring at first so i stopped playing, just this past week i gave it another go and realized what i was missing on its a great game. I just gotta finish it and mass effect 2 is just around the corner.
Who cares about this game?? It reminds of me star trek lame.
What is you gamertags thebigboss and kneon?
From the videos, ME2 cool-down system seems worse off than ME1. While its faster, the cooldown period means all powers can't be used. This means much of the time you can't use any power at all. At least in ME1, while 1 power is taking its long duration to cooldown, there're several other powers you can use. So far, it seems for ME2, once you use 1 power, all the powers have to wait out the cooldown time together.
I hope I'm wrong.
But from the gameplay videos, I fear for the worst!
