Mass Effect 2: Arrival Review


           With Mass Effect 3 quickly closing in, Bioware wanted to treat its fans one last time before launch. The Arrival is the final DLC for Mass Effect 2. The goal? Slow down the impending Reaper invasion, arriving in just over 48 hours. It has the making for an action packed thrill ride, however that is not the case. The DLC begins as a rescue mission where Shepard must save the Alliance scientist who came to this stunning revelation. It is a poorly implemented stealth mission. There is no feeling of stealth, it is several rooms and corridors with guards who are conveniently facing away from you and don't hear you sprinting by.
