Mass Effect 2 - Editorial @ Unreality
Unreality has a new article for Mass Effect 2 about the games voice actors.
When I tentatively expressed my less-than-stellar assessment of Mass Efffect 1, citing such issues as “it’s pretty odd that every planet in the galaxy uses the same building contractor” and “did they prank the male Shepard voice actor and tell him that the big twist of the series is that Shepard is actually a robot, and that’s why he says his lines like that?” the Unreality faithful almost universally told me two things:
Stick it out to ME2, and play the female main character. Well, strap in and prepare for 2,000 words of unadulterated joy, because you folks hit the nail squarely on the head. Turns out I haven’t lost my love for video games after all; in fact I think I just played once of the best I’ve ever seen.
