ME2 is really just a bridge between 1 and 3. The reasons I love ME1 and 2 are very different ones. ME1 had more RPG elements. More of a story and a villain, just.. more flow in general. ME2 is very character driven, and the combat was better, but I didn't like the streamlining of weapons and armor and powers. Harbinger was annoying, but he was no Saren.
It seems like ME3 is getting back to a lot of what ME1 did, but the combat is even better now. Less slow and clunky. I think story pacing-wise it'll be closer to 1 than 2. I don't mind the multiplayer so much, but that might be because I didn't fare too badly. =P I can handle a few rounds or whatever is required for galactic readiness.
Otherwise, all I really want are more fun Renegade interrupts and I'm good. ;) It'll be interesting to see how my Shepard fares. She was a complete biatch, but she destroyed the Collector base.
