How would you guys compare it to ME 2? Better than or worse??

To me, it's leagues better than ME2.

For one, the gameplay is much more refined, there's a lot of tactible differences between the classes and strategy comes heavily into play on the higher difficulties, which can rival the strategy needed to overcome ME1 on the higher difficulties as well. Also, story wise it felt much more solid than ME2 as well, it captures the essence of despair of fighting a losing war in good detail. 

Totally agree, and honestly 99% of the experience is one of the best experiences you can gain from a game. It just sucks that 1% end....but hey, positive over negatives! :P

Indeed. Those last 20 minutes may be a let down from the expectations that the whole trilogy created (even though i'm still convinced we haven't seen all that there's to see about the ending), but the rest of the 44 hours it took me to get there, I loved every single minute of them. 

As for Arrival, Shepard doesn't indeed warn the colonies, even in the Paragorn choice. He tries to do it, but it's both too late for it anyway and the transmission suffers from interference which might have made the transmission not reach the colonies (Alas, paragorn Shepard, when confronted by Balak (if you allow him to escape to save the hostages in Bring Down the Sky DLC on ME1) is tormented by the fact that he did try to warn them but he couldn't, thus he feels responsible for the 300K deaths that the destruction of the Alpha Relay caused).
