That said I loved the first 2, am going to be completely addicted to the 3rd, and after I finish it, will likely restart again with ME1 sometime in the future.
I too would strongly recommend playing the first one. You can get through just the main mission in maybe 12-15 hours. But I don't see why someone wouldn't want to fully experience the first two games. ME2 is fun to play if you're just looking for action; ME1 builds the story. I think most people who aren't allergic to space sci-fi would get sucked into the world and the characters. It's quite well done.
