Bioware clearly listened to player feedback and worked hard to make Mass Effect 2 an even better game than Mass Effect. This review has also mostly focused on changes between the two, rather than just examining Mass Effect 2 by itself. That's because ME2 is so much less without the first game. Sometimes you don't have to play the first game to enjoy the sequel, but in this case you do. Half the enjoyment is from the references to Mass Effect and the continuation of its story threads. Without Mass Effect, ME2 is still enjoyable but so much of its great significance is lost."
