| Thanks for the info mate. I'm still on the first one! I've bought no2 and dlc as well many months ago but haven't touched it yet.
I kept getting blown up on the first one on the first bit where you drive a meko and I was getting peeved so I haven't played it since... |

Personally i hated the mako parts....nice idea just poorly implemented. While you don't have to finish it to play ME2, it helps as you can import your character and get some bonuses for doing so.
I'm tempted to buy ME1 & 2 just to replay em.
I'll deffo be getting the demo, it'll help my Mass Effect withdrawal. And as you can't import your previous character into the demo, i'm hoping it's going to look and feel quite different. Plus, i want garrus to here me when i call him a DOZY $%$"%" as i shout at the kinect lol |

| Just waiting now to get my xbox time, it's already queued to download, then i'll get to see what all the fuss is about.
I know i'm going to love this regardless, to be honest i'm more excited to see how well the kinect features work. |

| I downloaded this last night then got fed up messing about with the character  Maybe I wasn't in the right mood. I bought Mass Effect 1 a while ago and couldn't really get into it _________________  |

| I couldn't get into mass effect 1 and I sold it but then I bought it again and got stuck and stopped playing it again lol It should have had more of a tutorial or a training mode I reckon.
I'm gonna give it another go though because I just tried the single player on the new demo and really enjoyed it. Just gotta try the multiplayer. |
