Mass Effect 3 is arriving soon. The critically acclaimed franchise is almost coming to an end with an epic conclusion to the trilogy. To prep us up though, Bioware released a DLC that links to the third game. Is it worth the 560 microsoft points or should you just wait for the main thing?
Mass Effect 2 is probably my favorite game on the Xbox 360. Arrival of course does not change the basic elements of the game except a few details. This time Shepard has no companions with him and takes the mission alone, either covertly or guns blazing. Admiral Hackett from the first game commences the quest for you announcing there is a deep cover agent held as hostage on the asteroid where she was captured. Shepard doesn't hesitate to go on the asteroid and slowly reveal how this links to the last game. The story isn't anything amazing like the actual game's plot but it does its job.
The gameplay is the same, with Batarians, in a few different forms, attacking Shepard and Kenson throughout the game. There is no boss fights like the previous DLC; even though I suspected one but I was proved wrong. You can approach the first half of the DLC stealthily to even obtain an achievement or just blast your way through. It's mainly shooting that you have to do since the dialogue is limited.
Overall, the game looks stunning as always, I wish there was more dialogue since only Shepard, Kenson and Hackett talk in the entire DLC and I wish it was a bit longer. There was some left to be desired but it's not a bad purchase and if you're a Mass Effect fan like me, you should purchase this for more of the best game on the platform.
