Do you prefer Mass Effect 1 or 2?
It’s hard to decide, ME1 is the beginning, when I fell in love with Mass Effect. This entry has more exploration (I loved the Mako), more role gameplay and Saren is the best villain so far. On the other hand, the shooting gameplay is a bit stiff and sometimes is a bit hard to manage.
In Mass Effect 2, the game becomes darker, more epic, introduces a whole new cast of characters, bring backs others from ME1 and has the best prologue. The suicide mission is just magistral. Cons, the gameplay becomes way too basic, eliminating most of the RPG personalization, and turning it into a more straight-into-action game. The main story is just about recruiting people and the real deal is at the beginning and at the end.
I honestly can’t decide, to me, they’re both perfect on their own way :)
