    ~40 hours is pretty substantial, I think. I have the game, but I still need to finish ME1, which I'm working on (slowly). I don't know where you guys find the time to play 40 hours in a week!

    It's longer and has more depth then the first game. I have the strategy guide and from the amount of exploring and side quests, I feel with my time invested I only covered about 60% of the game. When you reach the end of the game you are given the choice to continue working on research and side missions with your current level, or you can also import your character back into the beginning of the game and play through again. With the amount of dialog choices and different paths the game can go into, honestly you can play through at least three times to truly experience the entire game. It is that good of a game, and it is that well written.

    Finished it tonight, holy crap what a great game. Maybe the best game story I've ever played through. I can't wait to give it another go to see what the "renegade" path is like. Lots of little inside jokes, too. (Did anyone notice the Chandrasekhar system? Ever see Super Troopers or Club Dread? Or how about the nod to fans of "Chuck"....both agents have voices in the game, one prominent and one a side character.) Absolutely fantastic.

    I am well along in my second playthrough right now ... awesome game. I'm amazed at how good the graphics are, as well as the writing.

    Finished my second playthrough as a bad-a$$, this time everyone survived, I was very happy about that. I will get to a third playthrough one the hardest difficulty down the road at some point.
