I didn't care for it either. I haven't played it in awhile, but here are the things I remember about it. -They removed the disc grenades. -You have less armors than the first game. -They removed armor upgrades. -They removed weapon upgrades. -The Citadel was disappointing. That cut scene of the upper area is just one big -blam!- you. -They got ride of exploration. In ME1 you can go to planets to collect resources and side quest. In ME@ you just send a probe to do the most boring mining thing ever. That's being really creative. -They got ride of the elevators. It was pointless gameplay wise, but you learned things about the characters and it was fun hearing them talk. They should have just gave the option to skip them instead of removing them.
