Nice Review though I would give it 7.5/10 too much combat was the main issue. I do however believe that there was one huge decision to make.

SPOILERS AHEAD nothing big though :D

The big decision comes when you are asked to either warn the Batarian colony or call the Normandy for a quick pick-up. This could impact Mass Effect 3 a lot as it could mean that the Batarians will attack the humans if you decided not to warn the colony. If you however decided to warn the colony they might not attack .

@Persason seeing that the Mass relay was the so-called Alpha relay for the Reapers, this led me to believe that the Reapers might actually indoctrinate those Batarians. Either way you look at it I figured that I would still be fighting Batarians in ME3! Of course this is all speculation on my part.

Fuck the batarians

@Persason

You could end up being framed as a terrorist by the Batarians since you only sent out the beginning of a greeting which the Batarians could assume was meant to be a threat. They could take it as an attack by humans and hold it against them in ME3.

@Persason

ah, but they could realise that it was YOU who destroyed the relay due to you warned them. I mean, a metorite hits a relay WITHOUT anyone knowing that would happen, except a human? Suspicious, eh?
