Mass Effect 1 was a very interesting game to play. I've had a friend asking me to play these games for a long time now and I caved when he threw $30 at my face... BUT it was well worth it because the 1st game was wonderful in story, lore, choices and characters were great!

Mass Effect 2 was a step up 100% in gameplay, combat, story, all the characters that were in your squad, their lore missions and just overall the entire game was SO GOOD! Getting used to not having infinite ammo was fun because I was as overpowered basically!

Mass Effect 3 combat wise was a very big step up for me!! The story was very great overall I would say the ending choices weren't the best (I got the worst ending :3) but seeing the rest kinda sucked too! I really loved the DLC because they let you see all the characters you grew to love but the lack of characters on your team sucked because I wanted more like ME2
