I always will start my reviews with the UGLY/Bad first to get them out the way. Reason this did not get a 10 from me:

1. Plot Holes. The issue of characters not trusting you when you carried over your max leveled guy..it's like some of these people forget what you did. And it makes no sense seeing...well...You saved them last time from the Reaper Threat. I.E. Ashley and Kaiden.

(Sorry for spoilers please do NOT read past this if you have not played it yet or dont' want the A and K side ruined from ME1). Prime Example of story not continuing how it should or lack of decent input from devs. A or K who ever you decided to keep alive, if you were in the romance side with them, heck made them your main side character (I did with Ashley) they treat you as if you were never a hero, as if they don't know your heart. They saw first hand how the Alliance handle things, they saw first hand how the coucnil handled things...Why they would side with them over YOU just because of Cerberus markings makes no sense. I had Tali and Garus with me, and they vouched for me aswell when this "Meeting" took place (I wont' ruin the spot/time frame). Now...Kaiden or Ashley will NOT continue with your party even though They gave this DEEP Understanding of how you operate from ME1.

2. The other issue of PLOT holes stems for a lack or better issue with Game Mechanics NOT being utilized. I'm a Speechcraft person with any game that has Dialogue Choices. IF they give me a Speechcraft Bonus, I have it. If they have a Speechcrat Mini Game, I master it.  If I chose to max out both Paragon and Renegade..I think I'm a Silver Tongue from here on out. The fact you couldn't have Ashley or Kaiden come back to your ship Like Above Example Just by Talking to them, Makes no sense. I'm glad to see Kaiden on the New ME3 screenshots..but my problem with this is: I LIKED Ashley's Playstyle and I had to stick with some Ugly ass DLC character to fit her role of Tank/Damage. That is my main issue here. I should have been allowed to talk her down and get it done. I made Saren in ME1 (SPOILER ALERT) SHOOT himself in the head with my WORDS<-----------But I can't get some Girl I romanced with to join me? After Saving the Galaxy, After everything we've been through, the Devs leave it at "Well we couldn't fit them in, so...owell just make them mad at you, don't let the main character talk his way out...and etc". I don't care that they weren't party members completely, but for them not to come back as people to talk with through out makes no sense, it would be have been alot better for me to replace Ashley with Z's Rifle/Commando type if I knew she was on the ship/assisting in another way. I'm not mad at not continuing the romance (I am, but not really? if that makes sense) But this kind of crap happened alot;  I'm a Master of Renegade Paragon Choices, and it seemed like one of my favorite Mechanics in the game, got dumped because it really didnt' matter if you talked your way out half the time. Half the time you winded up having to Fight REGARDLESS even though it should have talked some sense or atleast Dropped the willpower of said fights that happen with the R and P Choices. ANOTHER SPOILER: ME1 had the issue of Wrex, which was Done greatly. If you sucked at talking he got killed. If you had the CHARISMA he stayed  alive. THATS How it should work Bioware! on ALL fronts. IF you talk your way out of having a fight, so be it! Stop limiting the Speech Crafters to "Eh...we'll let you do Paragon/Renegade choices but it won't matter..." <---that kind of thinking sucks when it comes to letting us "Decide" or "Being in control" of the game's dialogue. =/ Whats the point in making any choices if the end result is the same?

3. Boss fight was LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. Really Bioware?!? You effin handled STARWARS Video games, You had Dragon Age with Broodmother type disgusting fights that made you want to defeat it, you mean to tell me THIS Reaper is the last boss fight? In the words of TES: Oblivion, "I've faught mudcrabs tougher than you!" I'd rather Fight Saren again and his annoying wall hops then this...

Yes I know it's a Harsh idael to drop a rating .50 points, but Bioware is great at telling Stories, I don't expect this kind of Lazyness to happen on their side.

----------------------

The Great about this game Stems from his Indepth story, its choices that could change many lives and the push of a button. The guns were done great, the Armor was phenomenal. I loved all the DLC packs. For us Tali Fans, Bioware Delivered greatly. I was so happy that Tali got more screen time/more story and became more important. Meeting her Family, friends, Flotilla after hearing about it.. The lore, the Races, the Fight Scenes against gang's, Garus becoming a complete bad ass. Omega was fun, I loved the Musical Score in Both games and this was just as good as ME1, it . definently delivered a Mood and on some parts pumped you up. Bad guys were done great (Minus the Lame Boss Fight) Between Batarians, Geth, and now the Harbinger (Loved hearing him, he never got boring hearing that voice...I WILL ASSUME CONTROL OF THIS ONE!). The Cerberus choices were awesome, the Big Guy was awesome. The Characters you had to join you were done very well except a few of them I felt weren't really...needed. Grunt the Krogan lived up to Wrex, not in Dialogue but over all sheer bad assness. Garus jumping from Rookie Cop to Man-At Arms status was awesome, I actually LIKED him in my group. AI was definently jumped up from ME1 where the last game failed at times, this one picked up.

The DLC was also a good factor, I actually DID like the Vehicle mode fights with the Huge Space Worms (forgot their names sorry been playing alot of games lately, so not every term/name from every game I will remember right off theb at)  to finding the Artifiacts...but I understand why people didn't like it much.

Overall, this game does deserve it's praise. In General this game gets a 10 for being *** good compared to every other game, but my personal One is 9.50 for the BS moments in story that I worked HARD at and the one Mechanic I liked alot in this series being pretty much Worthless. The Boss fight is meh...
