Mass Effect 2 - Deconstructed, Part Two, @ Critical Gamer

UK site Critical Gamer has posted their second part of the brief (yet spoiler heavy) look
at Bioware's Mass Effect 2. As promised in the first article this time around they are focusing mainly on the positive aspects of the game. Here's a somewhat spoilerfree part of the article, focusing on how the narrative adapts to the player.

Perhaps the most interesting thing Mass Effect 2 does though, is adapt the narrative to the player. In giving us so many important decisions in the original Mass Effect, there was a worry that Bioware's next game would become bloated and the story would have too many different paths to form a coherent whole. But it hasn't turned out that way. What it does instead is reward the player for having gone through the original Mass Effect. Characters you've impacted will show up or send you messages and the universe will change subtly depending how you acted previously.
