Game Expansions for Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2: The Arrival
Mass Effect 2: The Arrival

RPG 29 March 2011

Another DLC for the action RPG game Mass Effect 2 from studio BioWare. The Arrival presents events which fill in the gap between the second and the third installment in the Mass Effect series. Admiral Hackett asks commander Shepard to rescue a covert operative from Batarians - dr Amanda Kenson has found evidence for existence of the Reapers and knows the exact time of their attack on the defenseless galaxy. The main difference between The Arrival and the core game or other expansions (as well as a factor which makes this DLC more difficult) is the fact that this time you are working alone, without other members of your team. Therefore you need to avoid open battles and depend only on your own skills. However, The Arrival offers not only combat and sneaking but also a lot of dialogues and new information about the Mass Effect universe which prepare you for Mass Effect 3.
