Mass Effect 2 Improvements Video

Mass Effect, the critically-acclaimed RPG from Bioware, is set to receive a sequel later this year. Consequently, the developers are eager to show off all of the improvements they've made to their space-faring franchise in this second installment. There weren't many things left to improve upon in the first game, but Bioware has evidently taken fan criticisms into account and is focused on the most important ones: improved area damage for head and limb shots, a heavy weapons class, more realistic physics and more varied environments. Based on the short gameplay clips shown in the trailer below, it seems that the overall graphics and texture detail have been improved as well.

Mass Effect 2 will be published by Electronic Arts, and it has been rumored that a PS3 version in the works. Look for more information about this title as we get a chance to find out more at E3 in two weeks time.
