Crysis 2 vs Mass Effect 2
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 lets you put on the incredibly high-tech nanosuit once again and reprise your role as the defender of humanity against the alien threat that is growing by the day. Use the suit's upgraded abilities, ranging from invisibility to bonus armor and to power boost, as well as an arsenal of weapons to tackle various aliens in the urban landscape of New York City. The gameplay is also pretty similar to Counter Strike or Call of Duty so don't go in expecting cover-based shooting like Ghost Recon's games.Similar to the first Crysis game, Crysis 2 no longer has servers to support its multiplayer function. Regardless, the game is still a gem and if you love Crysis, you'll want to get this game as well.
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the new sci-fi game franchise from BioWare, Mass Effect. The story in this game continues where the previous game left off - you, playing as Commander Shepard, is now a famous hero among humans and the more peaceful alien races and is tasked with investigating the mysterious circumstances that had caused entire human colonies to disappear without so much as a single trace of resistance. Of course, you won't be doing all of this alone. With your elite team of companions assembled, you'll set off on a much powerful version of the Normandy (spaceship) to seek out the culprits, to make them pay for what they have done and to save as many survivors as you can.Featuring the same depth when it comes to character customization - perhaps even more so, this game has removed the inland exploring and mineral extracting aspect and replaced it with a probe-based planet scanning system where you will scan planets to identify mineral rich locations and then send probes to do all the collecting for you. Interestingly, some planets also have special encounters with their own side-stories that are entirely optional. The gameplay itself is still pretty well-designed but of course, it slightly pales in comparison to the incredibly rich storyline this game has to offer.
If you have enjoyed any one of the core Mass Effect trilogy, then you'll want to at least play them all so you can get the whole story. After all, having a rich, decision-based storyline is the main selling feature of this franchise. And of course, Commander Shepard him/herself recommends this game, so who are you to say no to the legendary Commander Shepard?
