I'm playing mass effect on my pc at the moment, and for the most part, the game looks MUCH better than what those screenshots would suggest.
I have been wondering about how they will improve the graphics considering it will be a good 2 years in development since it's come out, and from the screenshots I've seen/videos I've watched of Mass Effect 2 I can't see a huge difference. That said, while playing Mass Effect - some parts look awesome while other parts looks rather plain so I'm hoping that even if Mass Effect 2 isn't a huge leap over Mass Effect, it will at least look consistenly as good as the best parts of the first game.
Still too early to tell in my opinion. At least bioware have stated they've fixed the appalling elevator sequences...
