    Mass Effect 1, by far. It has the best, most cohesive story of any of the games. Saren is an excellent antagonist. The Reapers weren't ruined. There's actual role-playing (funny seeing that in an RPG). Exploring planets is fun, though the Mako is annoying. And the 80s sci-fi soundtrack by Jack Wall ss -blam!-ing awesome. Mass Effect 2 is good, but its story is basically filler. There's nothing that happens that really affects anything or moves the overall plot forward; the Arrival DLC does more in that regard than the main story. The characters are cool, but they're not as "three dimensional" as in Mass Effect 1; they all tend to have one aspect of their personality that's played up and they all have daddy issues. The dialogue system is improved with more varied options (Mass Effect 1 tended to have options that were the same) and interrupts. The removal of RPG elements and exploration is unfortunate, and highlights a shitty design philosophy from Bioware: If something isn't perfect, scrap it instead of finding says to improve it. Mass Effect 3 isn't a Mass Effect game as far as I'm concerned. It's most certainly not an RPG; it's a shitty Gears of War clone that revels in taking control away from the player. Liked picking dialogue in the old games? Too bad, now the dialogue wheel is a fork with options that only have a minor difference in tone (and no neutral option, like really?). Like creating and roleplaying as your own Commander Shepard? Too bad, now Shepard is our (Bioware's) character who speaks on his own with no input from the player whatsoever and dreams about little boys. Not only does it make player input pointless, it makes the previous games pointless. And don't even get me started on those endings, which were only marginally improved (and in some areas, made worse) with the Extended Cut, the equivalent of putting spinkles on a turd. The only good thing about Mass Effect 3 was Tuchanka and the resolution of Mordin's character arc.
