BioWare has announced that Mass Effect 2 has received universal acclaim from top media outlets (ourselves included), earning an average review score of 97/100 based on 29 reviews of the Xbox 360 game. This makes it the second highest-rated game on the Xbox 360.
“Rich, immersive worlds, compelling characters and stories, and intense action are some of the hallmarks of BioWare games, and Mass Effect 2 truly raises the bar in every area,” commented Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA. “I’m incredibly proud of our team, who worked passionately to deliver a very high quality game for our fans.”
He added: “This epic sequel in the stunning Mass Effect universe is an extraordinary accomplishment, one which we can’t wait to get into the hands of a world-wide audience!”
Gamers who purchase a new copy of Mass Effect 2 will also be able to activate the Cerberus Network, an in-game portal in Mass Effect 2 designed to keep fans engaged with the Mass Effect universe through downloadable content and news at no extra charge. The first piece of DLC is available today, featuring a new mission around the Normandy crash site.
If you purchase Mass Effect 2 pre-owned and the Cerberus Network activation code is already used, a one time purchase (1200 MS Points / $15) will make it possible to access the content.
