I think that ME1 had a better story than ME2, but worse combat. ME2's story was only slightly worse than ME1, but its gameplay was improved in almost every area except for planet scanning. They are so close in quality in my mind that my favorite game changes on nearly a day-to-day basis.

ME3 is right out, and no points for guessing why.
