    Just twice for me, once on PC on normal and once on 360 on insanity. 
     
    Soldier first time, Infiltrator second. Do you think the classes have enough variety to make each playthrough feel somewhat fresh? 
     
    My second playthrough felt really fresh because it was almost a year after I finished the game the first time plus I bought the 3 mission packs. (Kasumi, Broker, Overlord)

    Just once as Vanguard. I plan on playing it through it again just to play the DLC missions, in particular the Shadow Broker one. I beat it within 2/3 days of its release so my second playthrough will hopefully feel like a whole new experience. It won't happen for a while however, I'm currently playing through Mass Effect 1 again making a few different choices this time around to alter ME2's plot.

    Only once. Not only would it be a hassle to play it again (since for my first playthrough I borrowed it from a friend), I also didn't particularly like it the first time through anyways.

    Four times for me: two playthroughs with my main paragon male Shepard, one playthrough with my main renegade lady Shepard, and another one with a paragon lady Shepard. I need to finish a renegade male Shepard playthrough now :p 
     
    Edit: also I think playing the different classes will probably feel more different in higher difficulties. I've been playing vanguard, adept and soldier so far but only on the normal difficulty, and they don't feel terribly different.

    Twice. Once on the 360 and another on the PS3. Now if Bioware will fix the game+ glitch then it would be 3.

    5 times I believe. 1 soldier, 3 vanguards, 1 adept. 
     
    4 times were female. Jennifer Hale all the way. The only reason to play Male Shep is Tali. 
     
    1 time was on Insanity as a female Vanguard.

    My main character is a good male Shepard, and I quite enjoyed playing as a Vanguard.
     
    I'm about halfway through with a renegade female Sentinel, but since I did most of the side stuff on my first save, things are getting kinda tough as I critical path my way through.

    Four times -- Infil, Vanguard, Soldier, Sentinel (on insanity) in that order. I'm working on another ME1 save to import into ME2 for my refresher before ME3 -- stupid shadow broker dlc ruined my s-rank though! >.<

    Six times in total. I have five Shepards, but one I played through with twice: one for his initial soldier run (which I hated), and another for my eventual Insanity run as a Sentinel (which I'd take over playing as a soldier on a lesser difficulty any day)

    Twice. Played the first time with my paragon save on pc and immediately on completing that I started again on my Renegade save on pc. I completed the game twice in under 10 days, the first time I've ever played a game again immediately after I finished. And I have to say, Renagade was more fun.

    I've lost count, six... maybe seven times? 
     
    I kind of got super obsessed with the game for the first half of last year. I stopped play for I while but with all the GOTY talk that happened last month and the ME3 announcement I find myself hooked all over again. DAMN YOU BIOWARE! DAMN YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AN AMAZING GAME!

    Ew. It made sense in Mass Effect 1 to play soldier, but in Mass Effect 2 you should play as the Biotics.

    ME2 twice, ME1 quice. Hopefully I'll keep this mathematical trend going and only play ME3 once. Actually that would be tragic depending on how the game is   
     
    ME2: Infiltrator, Adept 
     
    ME1: Infiltrator, Infiltrator (Same guy for New Game +), Adept, Vanguard
     
    btw quice = 4

    I completed it once, The first Mass Effect I completed about 5 times. Something about the first made me want to replay it more. I think it's because of the RPG elements it had? Anyway I see myself beating Mass Effect 2 once more before the 3rd comes out.

    Just once. As much as I love the game and the series, I can't get myself to play through them again for some reason. I've never been a fan of replaying (except chrono trigger, which I replay biyearly).  
     
    Which is weird considering I routinely watch the ending and trailers on youtube and I still love them.
