“If you recall, Empire Strikes Back was the darker chapter and that is how we designed the ME2 story and experience: to try and make the player reflect on the challenges of the character.” Continuing, he tells IGN, “If you put ME2 next to the original it is definitely a darker, harder game.” Zeschuk is reiterating what he told Kotaku back in September.
The second Empire Strikes Back took the Star Wars characters and put them in the worst situation imaginable — well, not as bad as putting them in the newer Star Wars movies, but still pretty bad.
Mass Effect 2 picks up “soon after” the first game as Commander Shepherd is crewing up “a dozen of the galaxy’s most dangerous operatives” just as a new menace threatens to wipe out the humans.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Just as long as the 3rd game doesn’t have some small cute furry race.

I never found ME to be challenging at all, it was fun and it was extremely entertaining (I’ve played it through about 3 times now), but even if ME2 is harder I still don’t see it being difficult.
