Mass Effect 2 Previews

Along with a new three-minute Mass Effect 2 storyline video preview on G4, there are some hands-on impressions of the game's final Xbox 360 build up at Analoghype. From the latter:
Your bionic powers aren't limited to one hotkey now and you can assign multiple ones for up to 3. The covering system is really solid and the reticule is more based on actual aiming than being able to use it based on class. As it was quite a busy event we all were limited in our times with the game so I just chose the class that I was used to from the first and that was the Adept. The bionic powers now all feel unique and don't give off a repetitive feel them as they did in Mass Effect 1. The enemy AI is not stupid and won't just rush at you when close by but would go for cover. Another addition to the gameplay was the fact that you can run right now without having to be in a shoot out situation, plus without feeling like it was the screen moving rather than the character. All in all, the gameplay has exceeded our expectations and you can really tell the Bioware team took feedback into account when revamping it.
