Call me crazy, but the vehicle physics really drove me up the wall in the first game and I&#8217;m really hoping it&#8217;s been improved for the sequel. <\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":167,"featured_media":56796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[119,1,557],"tags":[683,330,639,1260],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":167,"display_name":"Conrad Zimmerman","user_login":"Conrad Zimmerman","user_nicename":"conrad-zimmerman"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Buy the Mako from Mass Effect for your Xbox Live Avatar &#8211;
