You conclude wrong.
It wasn't overhyped, quite the opposite. It was made out to be a mess of a game with lots of technical problems. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty darn close, from a story telling perspective it was truely engrossing stuff.
I would disagree with ME3 comment too...gameplay wise it's a refinement on ME2 but it's story is lacking that is true, but only lacking compared to ME1 and 2. Compreed to other games it still kicks ass.
