Mass Effect 2: 10 Reasons It's Overrated As Hell

10. A Shock Opening, Quicky Diminished

Don't get me wrong, the opening moments of the game where your character dies are shocking and extremely moving. However in a move straight out of the JJ Abrams playbook, your death is overturned in two minutes.

See, Commander Shepard is killed in one of the most horrific ways imaginable - obliterated without much of a body, yet it can be rebuilt with new technology.

Surely Cerberus have better things to spend their money on?

The resurrection of Shepard creates further complications for the game's continuity. If your character can be resurrected, why can't everyone else? What stakes are there in a suicide mission, when people can be brought back from the dead? Kill the citadel council in the last game? Why not just resurrect them?

While we are at it, why would the Illusive Man invest a fortune into resurrecting Shepard as the ultimate leader of humanity, only to place him in constant danger?

Surely an asset of such absurd value is not someone you place in the front line of all of the most dangerous quests the universe has to offer? This crazy premise sets a tone for the rest of the game.
