I adore both Mass Effect titles for different reasons. I think the first one has a better overarching tale. However, I feel the second one has more "character" due to the great 'loyalty' missions.
I missed the planet exploration in Mass Effect 2. However, the level design was much better because it had more focus.
Combat is no contest. Mass Effect 2 just feels better, smoother, and more precise.
The planet scanning was my one huge gripe. It was too damn slow. Luckily, though, it has been patched up just recently.
