Well I think so. I  haven't beaten it yet, I'm about a third to halfway through, and I have to say, Bioware pulls off some really amazing things in this game. The visuals are out of this world, and the combat improvements are really mindblowing. The little technical issues no longer peeve me, and the story is better and more personal than any other game i've ever played. The choices you made in the first game really have a huge impact in the second game. I haven't finished it, but so far it is a definite contender for my GOTY 
 
What do you think
 
 
That is until I play Starcraft 2, which looks mindblowing...
