I don't feel ME2 is overrated at all. In any game, you up the difficulty setting, and more is required. You play Halo on Easy, and you can pretty much just blitz everything, all game. You put it on Legendary, and if you run head-on into every situation, you're going to die. Similarly, I just finished ME2 on veteran, and I largely let my AI allies do their own thing, and utilizing their abilities vs the tougher enemies. Same thing I did on Veteran for ME1. But just like ME1, when I switch to a higher difficulty, I will be taking more care to doing their skills and setting their positions myself. They are AIs, but they're YOUR squad, and the player is supposed to make them reach their full potential. Heck, if the AIs were as smart as players without your input, they'd need Hardcore to be the baseline difficulty, because Archangel and Mordin could pretty much do it without you.
