i do agree about Mass Effect 2 , i did write something about it recently, i'll try and find it.
here , i wrote this on Kotaku, and surprise, everyone agreed excepted a user from VGchartz (seriously)
"i might be in the minority, but i found ME1's combat and general gameplay to be a lot better than 2's because 2's felt like a shooter, kill hordes of enemies till the timer runs out or until NPC opens a door or fix something.
also the combat was very shooter based, there is ammo ? what happened to the overheated guns ? , i'm sure they explained it somewhere in the game but i forgot, another thing about the mission structure was that it felt again like a shooter, go on a mission kill everything and everyone then get a score screen for how many dudes you killed , it really killed the immersion that Mass Effect 1 felt like, in ME1 i felt like everything i did felt like i am the commander , and the enemies while less, were positioned so that more emphasis on tactics are needed , there wasn't a part of the game were they did the cheap "COVER ME WHILE I SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWLLY OPEN THIS DOOR" shooter cliche. and then you take cover and shoot dudes Gears Of War style, but what the heck i'm i blabbing about i'm sure most will disagree anyways.
