I must admit, I'm not too broken up about Mass Effect 3 being so similar to ME2 (according to impressions from the article)... With Mass Effect, the story and decision making is the main drivers of the game. They've got the main things right, so if they get the smaller things like planet exploration, weapon customisation, etc. right then I'll be happy as can be. Of course, should they improve the graphics and mechanics of the game, etc... That's great too, although not required.
