ME1 had a far better ending than its sucessor. Though, that part at the end of ME2 as all the Reapers are seen flying towards the galaxy was epic. Still, ME1 just had....everything! Awesome final space battle, Shepard completely untouched by that thing that wrecked the whole tower, and then Shepard exit and Anderson's sweet speech. Oh, and then "M4 Part 2" over the credits. Nice. ME3 better blow everything out of the water though. It should make the rest of the series pale at its mighty...er..might.
Which ending is more epic

In ME3, I want to see my Shepard reloading her gun in front of a backdrop with a big planet in space. That was such a bad ass image to end the game with.
@Ecael: Sorry, that comparison is a stretch. Saren looked nothing like the Terminreaper.

ME1 as far as epic scale goes, with all the millions living in the Citadel and the raging space battle overhead.
However I felt ME2 was more personal and Shepard changed after that ending in a way s/he didn't in ME1. Basically I felt ME2's ending had more of an impact on Shepard. It was never going to be as epic as ME1's as hardly anyone knew about it.
I'm sure ME3's ending will surpass both put together

If we're talking just pure ending then Mass Effect 2 wins by a LONG SHOT. I mean seriously...
That music playing as the base is destroyed? EPIC..
Harbinger's speech as the collector base falls apart? EPIC
The suicide mission itself was also pretty great.
I love ME1 though more for its RPG elements which were missing in ME2. I like how streamlined ME2 was but I felt that it did remove a lot of the RPG feel.

When Shepard was escaping from the Collector Base, I was wondering how the hell he was doing that so fast. Weren't there all these doors he was hacking and closing? And isn't the base like, massive?That Yellow Bastard wrote...

To be honest, I take that back, I like both games equally. Damn you nostalgia

I loved how the ME2 ending had that slow-mo scene with Shepard jumping onto the Normandy. It was like a point in which you know that you will live or die depending on what you did earlier. that was a pretty epic feeling imo

Would you prefer to watch their entire run through the base? Obviously they just fast forwarded it to that point where he jumps on the Normandy, because watching a 10 minute cutscene of Shepard running the entire path back there would be boring and idiotic to even consider.

ME1's ending.
If you lost in ME1, everything was over at that spot.
If you lost in ME2, the reaper would eventully come.....some time.

Blowing/saving that base, and escaping the explosion with the Normandy with the music pounding, was more dramatic to me than the ending of ME1.

Although I do always feel like crying when, in the ending of ME1, Shepard looks like he gets smashed by debris and Anderson tells Liara that she's safe and its over while Garrus is being pulled from the rubble. Dear god that ending is beautiful when Shepard majestically stands on the arm of the reaper like he's some sort of champion... I think i'm gunna play ME1 again...

You guys have all responded really well. It still doesnt help me choose. They both give me goosebumps
Being a renegade player in both games the moment when the alliance fleet arrives is so epic.
When you hear Hackit say " All Alliance ships, hold formation, wait for a shot at sovriegn, nothing else matters, I repeat, nothing else matters" and then they play that incredible music, with a little tragedy laced inside of it as you see the asari commander realize that that the alliance will not help. Then at a distance you see the Alliance fleet descend upon the Citadel, as the Destiny Ascension is destroyed and the music builds. At that moment to me it just felt that a new age had started. Then ofcourse when sovreign is destroyed, and shepard emerges from the ruins and gives you a heroic pose as the music reaches its climax.
then in Mass effect 2 as you wake after defeating the reaper and Harbringer starts his little speach as you sprint to the Normandy. My whole team survived aswell as the crew giving me a sense of real acomplishment. the musci builds as shepard leaps to the Normandy and a teamate helps you up. Then shepard looks back at the collectors as the Normandy takes off. Then they narrowly escape as the radiation pulse detonates or the base explodes while once again the music reaches its climax. I agree with skilled seeker sayin that ME2 was more personal. I also think that mass effect 2 was a vastly superior game in almost every way. I also hope that Mass Effect 3 bolws both of them combined out of the water. I still cant choose.
I think we can all agree that the music can make a scene exponetialy better, I think ME2 had that by a long shot. But the music thats played as you emerged from the wreckage was pretty awesome too

Both were very epic. However, I think ME2's final few shots were more epic than all of ME1's ending. At the end of ME1, Shepard and Anderson/Udina talk about how many Reapers there could be, and what must be done to stop them. ME2 displays the Normandy's crew actually working toward getting ready for the Reapers, and then SHOWS just how damn many Reapers there are. Much more bone-chillingly epic.

ME1's ending wins for me. It just fits right in with the epic feel of the whole story and the 'hurry to save the galaxy' nature of the final mission.
That being said, the scene at the end of ME2 with all of the Reapers waking up blew my mind when I realised 'Oh sh*t, I just pissed the Reapers off.'

In ME1, how did Shepard get to the Presidium immediatelly after leaving the rubble? The elevator ride is like 10 minutes.
And how did the council get there so fast? Weren't they in the Ascension? And I thought the Presidium was burning, but 5 minutes later everything is fine !

ME2 was waaaay weak.
It was basically 2 missions if you take away all the recruitment missions that didn't give an epic feel.

No matter which way you slice it, both lines from those Asari in ME1 give me chills. "It's the Alliance!" and "They severed the com" (along those lines)...Though I did enjoy ME2 more overall.

ME1 was more "epic" in terms of big fleets and such but to be honest I've seen so many massive space battles by this point the ME1 wasn't all that impressive. You can take any big space battle from Trek/BSG/Wars and they were all much more dynamic so seeing fleets comprised of people I didn't care about didn't really touch base with me in anything more than a "perdy" sort of way.
I preferred 2's Normandy vs Collectors setup.
That and "the team" actually has a presence for the endgame as opposed to just the two people you bring with you to Illos.

As others have said, there were just as many "main story missions" in ME2 as there were in ME1. Secondly, you can't just disregard the recruitment and loyalty missions, as they were an integral part of the game. And thirdly, not everything needs an epic feel to be fun, emotionally moving, or just good overall.
