I thought it was good but not great and also a little too rough round the edges technically. However, it is worth playing and I have high hopes will 'tidy up' the rough edges from ME.
Question on the elevators, aren't they better than just staring at a 'LOADING' screen? At least you don't drop out of the game. Although I think in ME2, due to all the jokes, we are going to get loading screens instead.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
