I have a feeling OP may not like ME1 its gameplay and gamestyle are quite different, it isnt flashy or fast paced
I'm getting mixed feelings 
The majority are saying to definitely play it, but are not that descriptive and explanatory. However, the ones saying that I wouldn't benefit are the minority but are explaining why and describing the differences.
Well, I'll make a decision soon (like within today), and you can comment on it or not. 
ME should be played by everyone interested in the trilogy, no matter what. It's the begining of the story and lays the groundwork for the universe and the reaper threat. I think everyone will agree that ME is a great game, however different people have different opinions as to if it's better then ME2 or not, in my case I feel ME is the superior game.
Some of the key differences between ME and ME2:
- The most obvious one is inventory, ME has your typical RPG inventory but on crack, you'll find lots of armor, weapons, and weapon mods, and I mean lots. ME2 has no real inventory, only a limited number of weapons, no weapon mods, and you can only change the armor of your main char, not your squad like you could in ME.
- Ammo comes in as the 2nd most obvious change. In ME you don't need to worry about thermal clips, instead you worry about your weapon overheating and wait a few seconds for it to cool down, frequency of waiting depends on weapon and mods. Also, there are no ammo powers in ME, instead they are actual ammo mods that anyone can use and you can switch them out on the fly
- The skill trees in ME are much bigger then they are in ME2. Some prefer the streamlined trees of ME2 saying that the trees before were bloated and other prefer the ME style which they felt offered more customizeation. The ME trees also included weapon skills so that the more points you put into Assualt Rifle, the more accurate you became and the more damage you did..
- ME is more of a traditional RPG elements then ME2 does. A great example of this is the Citadel. In ME the Citadel is massive with lots of sidequests that don't envolve fighting, this was the area that most people who only wanted to paly a shooter got to and gave up.
- Exploring random planets is a huge part of ME. While fun, it suffered from the fact that every planet was pretty much the same and feelings on the MAKO are mixed, some like it and some hate it.
You really should pick up ME and give it a shot, you can sit here and ask people if you should get it but in the end none of us are you and can't make the choice for you. If you really liked ME2 and want to know more about the story as well as have your own character to carry through the trilogy and shee how ME2 differs now that you made the choices in ME, then pick it and play it, if you aren't looking for that. If however this is not what you are looking for, I still say you should pick it up as it's only $20, but if you just want to shoot things, then you may end up being a little dissapointed.
