Hopefully mass effect 2 has less glitches than the first. The first was an amazing game, but it had the WORST glitches I've ever come across in games - the kind where you just defeated a boss, and it tries to cut to a scene and the load fails, among many other frustrating, controller smashing moments.

They also need to completely redo the makos controls. Worst vehicle ever.

I never experienced such glitches, in fact I found the whole game to be extraordinarily polished. Were you running it on an older 360 model?

I never had any "glitches" but it's a jerky old herbert, the game engine constantly jumps - it isn't very smooth at all, I'm playing through it again on my 360 elite & it perfoms in exactly the same way it did on my old 360 arcade (and the 4 replacements).
The vids i've seen of ME2 look very smooth & refined, a huge improvement !.

Framerate drop issues were a very well known issue that affects the game itself, not the console. Its not throughout the game, but in levels where you taken on Saren for the first time on his hover craft thingee, the game darn near stops being functional. I run it on an elite version
 
I rarely noticed framerate drops that affected the gameplay, and I ran the game on an Arcade model. Is it possible the Elite has trouble with some games?
 
I've actually had a few lock ups while playing ME1... some of them happened during a long playthrough without me saving, causing me to have to replay long stretches of game.

This seems like and issue Bioware needs to remedy, as it seems to happen (to me) with all their games (I recently had some curse-inducing freezes in Dragon Age :banghead:banghead)

Mass Effect 2 Will Have New Game+ Mode After All
Written Monday, January 04, 2010 by Richard Walker

Those lovely chaps at BioWare have decided to incorporate a 'New Game+' mode into Mass Effect 2, contrary to their original decision to bin the option due to complications in porting player decisions over to Mass Effect 3.

As those who enjoyed playing through the original Mass Effect more than once will know, you'll be able to play through the game again with all of your abilities and items from your first playthrough intact.

"Yes, originally we removed New Game Plus from Mass Effect 2 early in the development process," said community man Chris Priestly on the BioWare forum. "However, we decided later that it was a valuable addition to the game then looked at ways of implementing it back into the game."

As you'll all know, the Mass Effect saga has been planned out as one continuous sci-fi saga, which is why it's so important your character remains consistent and hence why the New Game+ mode was originally shelved.

BioWare has also promised better support for future DLC, as well as the option to jump back into the game after finishing the main narrative thread to tie up loose ends such as side missions and so forth.

In case you weren't already aware, Mass Effect 2 is out on January 29th 2010 and it can't come soon enough.

Mass Effect 2 is a Steal at £30 in the UK
Written Sunday, January 10, 2010 by Dan Webb

Amazon.co.uk are keen to get a large market share of the Mass Effect 2 sales - in the UK anyway - if their current price is anything to go by.

The UK branch of Amazon is currently listing the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 2 for a paltry £29.99 - a saving of £10 and a quarter off. If you've never been a fan of Amazon, then you can also try Argos who are doing their usual price cut on the potential big sellers and also selling it for £29.99.

The US version has also had a price cut at Amazon, but instead of it being a quarter off, the US can only save around 5% as it retails for $56.99. Still, a saving of $3 is better than a kick in the teeth.

If I wasn't getting the Collector's Edition, I'd be all over this.

[Thanks for the heads up pinned5551]
