The hands-on starts out with a standard enough Mass Effect cut-scene with Shepherd inbound to an alien planet. His mission, to reach the top of a tower over run by an opposing force. The cut scene shows just how far this graphics engine has come. Gone were the awkward shadows and miss-matched textures of the first title. The light film grain seems to be in evidence, but seems to have been toned down a little. After a brief dialogue tree you are deposited at the base of the tower. Immediately you notice that Shepherd moves a lot faster. He darts forward and slips in to cover much more convincingly that before. All the previous array of weapons were on show, Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Pistol, Rocket Launcher etc.
