ME1 was pretty good, yet didn't really invite me to do many side missions. I did a side mission with the Mako once, that was enough. The main story was great, as was exploring the Citadel. Great ending too.
ME2 let me down, less exploration, less rpg, more cover based shooting. The whole universe consists of connected areas and warehouses with chest high walls. Some of the character stories were good but the main story was pretty much non existent.
I haven't played the 3rd one yet, demo and reviews confirmed it's not for me.
