Mass Effect 2 - Control Impressions @ Kotaku

From PAX, Kotaku takes a look at the new shoot-ier controls in Mass Effect 2:

At the Penny Arcade Expo today, I played a demo sequence of Mass Effect 2 that had series hero Commander Shepard and two squadmates, biotics specialist Jacob and soldier Miranda, shooting their way down a long, narrow outdoor walkway.

Our mission was to storm a building and, ultimately we would be attempting to recruit Thane, a member of the game's new Drell race. Imagine this all happening on a city of clean, congested high-tech skyscrapers, all bathed in the dark blues and purples as flying cars filled the skyways all around.

I didn't come to a noisy BioWare booth to judge the the story or scenery this time. I came to feel the combat.
