if you are up to "interactively" watching, it play mass effect 1&2

me2 is better than me1 but if you play me1 before playing me2 it gets even more better.(you get to know the crew in me1 which you encounter several times in me2, without knowing their back story in me1, iam guessing the story in me2 would feel kinda incomplete. Also your decisions and love interest from me1 gets transferred to me2.use your me1 savegame so you do not have to play with default decisions.)
