Mass Effect 2 Has Two Disc Swaps

BioWare has revealed that Mass Effect 2 players will have to swap discs twice.

BioWare's Chris Priestly has previously stated that Mass Effect 2, which will hit Xbox 360 on two discs, would require players to swap between the discs once. Now, however, BioWare has revealed that this is not the case.

BioWare producer Jessie Houston explained the process to IGN. "Players will start with Disc 1 for the introduction and early level choices, then go through a funnel level of sorts, where they will need to switch to Disc 2," said Houston. "From there they will play the middle portion of the game, which is mostly on Disc 2. Then after another funnel point in the story they'll go back to Disc 1."

Will one extra disc swap near the end infuriate players? Find out in our review of Mass Effect 2, coming early next week, just in time for the game's release on Xbox 360 and PC on 29 January.
