Mass Effect 2 PS3 Review

IGN has cranked out their review of Mass Effect 2 for the PlayStation 3, and while they call it "the best version of Mass Effect 2", they actually award it with a tenth of a point lower than the Xbox 360 and PC versions. Still, a 9.5/10 is nothing to balk at:
Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games on PlayStation 3 and a must-own. It has a deep, fleshed-out story and focuses intensely on character development, which will appeal to RPG fans. Its non-linear approach, choice making and reliance on gray areas gives advocates of the sandbox-style game a reason to delve in. Its solid third-person shooting combat isn't only functional, but stronger than many dedicated third-person shooters and a reason for shooter and action fans to get in on the fun. And above all else, the game's clean look, amazing voice acting, stellar story and interesting characters will push you to go further and further into Mass Effect 2 to see everything it has to offer.

At the end of the day, Mass Effect 2 essentially does everything it does exceptionally well, and it shows from beginning to end. PlayStation 3 gamers had to wait a year to get their hands on Mass Effect 2, but the wait was well worth it. Not only do you have a game that's already running on the engine for the upcoming Mass Effect 3, but you have a game packed with DLC and access to an in-game comic book that explains the game's story to those new to Mass Effect. But don't remain new to Mass Effect for long. Mass Effect 2 is a game that you should purchase, play, and enjoy. And you should do so as soon as time allows.
