I did feel a little betrayed about the change of direction they had.
I might be (probably, am) wrong, but I felt the first one was more interested on exploring sci-fi worlds and concepts while the second was focused on delivering a high-octane action experience with a space backdrop.

In a lot of ways it fit the tone of the story better. ME was about discovering how big and amazing the galaxy was (well, at least Citadel-controlled space). ME2 was more about how corrupt and morally ambiguous the galaxy was (well, at least the Terminus systems). ME was about human expanse. ME2 was about human survival. ME was Citadel forces combining to stop a horrible threat. ME2 was a rogue human organization funding a 'suicide squad' to stop species annihilation.
Wow ... the more I type the more I realize that THIS is THE definitive series of this gen!
