ME2 is much stronger on character development and on creating a personal connection between player and story. That mostly involves building a team of experts to follow Shepherd to the end of time the rest involves the human nationalist group Cerberus and its manipulation of Shepherd to save the human species. The actual plot is exciting and expertly told, but somewhat unoriginal and even slim, as most of the game is used to build tension.
ME2 may do many things right, but Mass Effect has always been about Shepherd’s story, and in this respect, ME2 excels. This game makes Shepherd’s fight your fight.
As a stand-alone game, ME2 is fantastic, but as the second game in a trilogy, ME2 is astonishingly effective at establishing a connection between the player and the series. I have far too many feelings invested into Commander Shepherd’s story, most of which are a direct result of playing Mass Effect 2. Warning: I can no longer approach the Mass Effect series with an objective mindset.
