Acting performance, story telling and facial expressions I find important for these sort of games. So Mass Effect 1 was unconvincing for me, videos of ME2 look similar to me and Heavy Rain much better.

IMO Mass Effect 1 was overrated/overhyped, too buggy, repetitive and lacked some atmospheric ingredients for me.

Well too bad Mass Effect 1 & 2 are not the same game then, right? ME2 fixes almost everything about the first game, but it does take out weapons customability. One of the problems I had with #1 is that some of the characters were like cardboard and not likeable..  That is definetly not the case with the sequel.

Apparently though, edge agrees with your opinion of Mass Effect 1, but they gave #2 a 90%.. So.. Just go buy it off of steam. The experience is better if you play the first one right before diving in again, but it should still be an awesome role playing experience nonetheless.
