It's a Poor shooter and a slightly above average rpg with a lot of cool ideas that don't work. If you put 25 hours into the game, (imo) you put too much time into the tedius meaningless boring stuff that bioware put into the game. That game has about 14-16 hours of fun content.
Alas I still enjoyed it a lot. As it still captured the sort of star trek/exploring outer space that the sequals lacked. And to me was a game where the sum was greater than it's parts.
It's sequals are a good cover shooter (If you want to call uncharted a mediocre TPS, than sure this is mediocre too), with the RPG Social System, and streamlined RPG experience/equipment system. But to me felt, mostly what mass effect was going for anyways.
My favorite is 2 by far. 1, has good ideas with a lot of bad things. And I don't like 3.
