The inventory wasn't much of a deal in ME 1, so if taking out a bad part and focusing on others in not a good thing, then yeah, ME 2 is worse than ME 1 because it's overall an interesting experience not just the main quest.
And I loved the Mako in ME 1, actually when I saw it frozen in ME 2 I thought they would recover it, but it didn't happen and I feel bad for it, I really wanted to drive it again, but see, here's the problem, Mako was great, but what you did with it wasn't, like exploring almost dead planets for side quests, by removing the Mako, they removed those large dead exploration area for side quests and made small but extremely detailed and interesting environments for them, so Mako missing from the game is really a very good thing.
ME 2 is "way" better because it focuses on the parts that it does extremely well, they didn't include redundant or average features from ME 1. Would you really like an inventory filled with 5 or 6 models of weapons with similar skins and different names instead of 10 or 12 weapons that are different, look different and perform in a different way? would you like to explore dead with just a few details, with boring side quests, worlds? and do you want the bad/good answers to be so vague? (ME 2 is more expressive in that way, the good answers are very expressive and the bad answers are brutal the only bad thing about them is that it depends on your renegade and paragon, if you're paragon you can give only good answers but in cutscenes you have some renegade actions that you can perform (or not), but for me that isn't much of a big deal, I always try to be good in RPGs ;)).

Because scaning planets for thirty minutes like a douche is really interesting right? Ill have to agree that the side missions are better, but then again they are not really side missions. The game takes it against you if you don't complete the loyalty missions. The paragon/regenerade instead of charm/intimidate really didn't do it for me . I always like to play gray characters, not just Godie or EAVLE. So the game is forcing you either to be black or white because not having enough regenerade/paragon points can exclude some dialogue options that make the game better. Ex. if you don't have enough points Jack/Miranda will become unloyal again and there was really no point doing the loyalty mission.
