Mass Effect was designed as an RPG first and a shooter second. Latter games were designed as true RPG/shooter hybrids which is why I personally prefer them. However, if you played the original Star Wars: KoToR, Mass Effect is really a natural evolution of that system.
Mechanically, the game has aged poorly so I can kind of understand your review, but if you go into the game expecting more of an old-school wRPG than a shooter, it's actually pretty good.
