Also the elevator sequences pissed me off although there were some funny announcements. That being said it is likely I will pick up Mass Effect 2 at some point down the road, probably not on launch, 'cause if possible I wanna finish the first.
I thought all of the Mako sequences were really well paced. They always seemed just the right length to keep them exciting without being so short they were unsatisfying.

The PC version's load times were significantly shorter, I guess, so I never minded the elevator scenes. I went into the game expecting to despise them, but I never understood what all the complaints were about. I think a lot of the time the elevators were extended to accommodate the announcements for me. So, I'm a little disappointed that they're out.

Looking forward to buying this on the cheap cheap after a while. I really did love the first game, but I'm a tightwad, so...
