Mass Effect 2 vs Star Wars Battlefront
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?
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront is perhaps one of the best Star Wars games to date. In this game, you can truly immerse yourself in one of Star Wars iconic battles complete with stormtroopers, walkers, and lightsaber-wielding Jedis on the ground, as well as X-wings and TIE fighters in the skies. You can choose to play on either the Rebels' or the Imperial side in the conflict, fighting for either the light or the dark side. Each multiplayer match can house up to 40 players, making each battle as hectic and lively as the real thing in the movies! There are many different planets you can do battle on and naturally, the different biomes and terrain of each planet pose a different challenge even to the most hardcore of players. If multiplayer is not for you, you can even go co-op instead and dive into the many exciting challenges alongside your buddies, or simply play solo.Best yet, if you happen to own a Playstation copy of the game and also a Playstation VR, you can enjoy some bonus virtual reality content where you get to engage in dog-fights and blast at enemies from your very own space fighter.
Star Wars Battlefront is definitely designed with the idea of bringing the grand battles and suave action you often see on the big screen to a platform that allows you to not only interact with the many characters in it but also to really engage and role-play your favorite characters. Couple that with original Star Wars soundtrack and the massive effort put into making sure that every meticulous detail is accurate, this is a game that will give any Star Wars fan a huge rush!
