The original game was well welcomed and received a round of positive critical response by nearly everyone. What had set the game apart from similar games were its remarkable graphics, intuitive game play framework, catchy futuristic ambient tunes, and gripping storyline that helped to initiate a great cult following similar to that of the Star Wars and Star Trek genre. Luckily enough, Bioware managed to provide us with a great sequel that improved on the original in every possible way, from the combat system to its graphics and even storyline."
