first, apologies for the thread jack
Like you might see in my link above, ME2 is very good, but can't be compared to ME. This is my firm personal opinion. The plot reveal in ME is one of those moments in gaming that will be remembered for a long time to come, and is not easily reproducible, which already puts ME2 at a slight disadvantage. Beyond that, ME2 could've done with a bit more beef in the main plot line and a little less in the i-need-to-scour-the-galaxy-to-assemble-a-team-and-earn-their-loyalty department. But it is, no doubt, a very good game despite what I've said here (and in the link above).
Most people have nothing but love for shooters and action games and if you're one of them, ME2 will please you greatly. I'm just not one of those people, hence the slight disappointment
