I'd want it to be just a deeper experience then the first one. I'd want a LOT more side-missions, a lot more planets that you could visit, etc.

I'd also like the galaxy map to have a way to show you what's in the system you're going to. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out where this place was, like that station on the Hoth-like planet you go to.

They need to make the layout of the side mission planets better in my opinion. All of the planets look the same, just different environmental changes.

You should be allowed to land on Earth too and see what the future Earth looks like through Mass Effect designers eyes.

I thought about that, but figured it'd be like seeing what's inside the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

well luckily they have been getting better at getting the quirks out of the system when they were developing the pc version, so mass effect 2 shouldnt have as many issues as the first. Besides, the whole reason it looks a bit rushed in the programming was most likely becuse they wanted to get the first installment of the series out in time to get the second and third out within the consoles lifespan. They spent an awful amount of time on it to begin with.

With Ea sponsoring them though, we may either not have a third game, or the second will be one huge commercial.

I agree; multiplayer (as in deathmatch and the like) is a no-thanks. Co-op is a very strict maybe. Not all games have to have some sort of multiplayer function; I enjoy my single player games.

There were a crapload of side missions in Mass Effect, but the problem is that a lot of them lacked the ability to be epic and remembered after you were finished. I'd rather have memorable experiences than a bunch that offer little gratification. Loved Bring Down the Sky!

I never had a problem with the looks of the planets. If anything, the fact that they all looked the same is more realistic (a personal preference). That's what planets are; chunks of rock. Some of those planets had major differences (can't think of anything at this very moment, but there are), nothing drastic, and I think that's how it should be.

If we see more planets this time around, however, I'm sure we might see some different environments such as icy caves, volcanic tunnels, gorges... that kind of stuff. I'm not really sure what more you expected in Mass Effect. =P

What I meant was, you land on a planet, look at your map, then slowly make your way to the anomaly's, debris, etc constantly having to worry about jumping over rocks and climbing up large mountains. It's just too tedious and repetitive.

Couldn't agree more. When I was playing through it I spent many hours at a time playing. Exploring planets was the part that always put me to sleep. There were a couple of times where I woke up the next morning, still at the wheel of the Mako.
