I was also positively surprised and very much looking forward to the next installment- this is supposed to be a trilogy if I've understood it correctly. It's not a perfect game but still definitely a winner. A few things to complain do exist, however:
The hacking minigame grew old really fast. On lockers and such it's allright but on corpses, mineral deposits etc. it's simply stupid.
Too much Mako. Nuff said.
Interface sucked. They made it unnecessarily complicated when they could've done it with the good ole double-click system. I kept assigning 'wrong' skills to people before I got the hang of it.
My game is very dark, could be the monitor though, too. Had to crank gamma all the way up. No biggie.
Got a couple of lock-ups during dialog parts with certain people. To be fixed in patch, I suppose.
Besides these I was actually hooked on it, the whole 'Can't put this down/What happens next?´ thingy. Lotsa thought and effort has been clearly been put into ME with success in the end. The dialogue and voice-acting effectively raised the bar for other games to surpass- Jennifer Hale and Lance Henriksen most notably were really swinging it.
16 hrs to finish? You must've missed half the stuff, mine was at least double to that.
