I've been playing for a good ten hours now and can honestly say my only real gripe is with the hacking mini-games. They are beyond dull this time around, consisting only of matching and memorization tasks. Worse, you can't bypass them using omni-gel. I tend to skip them now, unless there's a door that needs unlocking. The rewards from hacking PDAs and such usually just net you extra credits, not really worth the time you'd waste.
Just seems like a wasted opportunity as BioWare could have done something neat with these mini-games. Anyway.. it's a very minor flaw in an otherwise excellent game.

Alright, I guess I'll pick it up this weekend.
How many hours would it take to complete it do you guys think?
Have they improved the inventory system in ME2? I fired up the first game and started a second playthrough to level up my Shepard a bit more (currently L. 45 Vanguard) and my hate for the inventory system returned.
I've got another question for those already playing the sequel.
[BLACKOUT]If you saved the Rachni Queen in the first game, do they make an appearance on your side in this one or are they waiting for the finale to string that together?[/BLACKOUT]
