Mass Effect 2 E3 Preview

The guys at 411mania are offering up a late preview of Mass Effect 2 based upon BioWare's demonstration at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
One thing that was explained to us right off the bat is something that Bioware alluded to previously regarding your save file from the first game. Well as it turns out, you can import that save file into ME2 so that your decisions come into play and are essentially still in effect in the sequel. Perhaps it'll even entice some gamers to replay the first one in order to change some things they did in the past. It's not a requirement however as gamers can simply begin Mass Effect 2 with a clean slate if they choose to do so.

In the final portion of the demo we see the Normandy under attack by some new unidentified force in the galaxy. To be blunt, shit hits the fan and all hell breaks loose as the ship is slowly exploding into pieces while you try to avoid the surrounding fire to escape the ship.
