Given my earlier rant on the forums I do not think this one is great at all.

I'm going to limit myself to the gripes I have because of my eyesight.
The biggest one is the minigames. The hacking one gives me trouble, the lock bypass one I cannot do withotu magnification. Pairing up symbols is a lot harder hwne you cannot see them clearly.
You can get upgrades that give more time to complete these minigames, those were an absolute must for me.

Also weapon zoom/aiming has been decreased, and I had both games open at the same time to do a 1:1 comparison. This makes longer range shooting with say the pistol harder.

Bioware doesn't seem to learn. A lot of complaints about very hard to read text in the xbox 360 version. A bioware rep has said they will not fix it.

Now for the motion-impaired gamers, this game is going to give you problems. The game does not have any way to “move” your character with a mouse; you have to use the keyboard. By default, it is “ASWD”.

Actually even better would be the naga from razer. If you are capable of using the buttons of course.

I just map forward movement to the middle mouse button, and I have no problem. Without that, I'd never be able to run, since I can't hit w and space at the same time without using both arms.

The shooting is a lot more intense in this game than in ME1, but your AI teammates are more capable too. I have less trouble with a sniper rifle than other weapons, so I play an Infiltrator and often send my team in and then sit back and snipe.

I played mass effect 1 and verified this fact below with a colleague of mine who plays mass effect 2:

It is still able to pause the game midfight and aim/ give orders with no time pressure at all, similar to doing this in Dragon age and mass effect 1. I ended up pausing the game after every few shots and after every special ability my team mates used, too keep total control of my entire team.

This midfight pause option should as least be mentioned in the review and should increase the mobility score of 2 to something a little higher, because it was one of the key factors for giving Dragon age its deserved high score.

The rest of the review was spot on and very helpful, thanks.

(to quote from the dragon age review:
One feature that must be mentioned on its own is the ability to pause the action quickly and easily as many times as you need. While the game is paused, you can continue to issue orders to all of your party members. This is important for a couple of reasons. First, although the game is 3-D action, gamers with slow reaction time or difficulty reaching keys quickly will be in love with this feature. Second, cognitive accessibility is not given much attention in mainstream videogames, and with the ability to pause fast paced action those who do have cognitive impairments will have a much more fulfilling gaming experience thanks to this feature.

Although the intent of the feature was to allow increasingly complex and creative tactics to be used by the player, BioWare also added flexibility for those with slow reaction time by introducing the pause feature.)

This text deserves a place in this game it's review to.

I could have missed a tweak, but as far as I know the action menu has no toggle feature. So you have to keep the shift key pressed while you make your choices.
Perhaps there is an ini tweak, but it isn't in the options menu.
Gotta love console style menus. X_X

Ah yes, you are correct. The pause isn't a toggle, you have to hold down the button. I now see how this could be a problem.

Was it a toggle in dragon age?

I've never tried, but there should be a way to work around the issue & make it a toggle using autohotkey.
