I personally like to pretend that ME1 doesn't exist. At least as far as the mechanics are concerned.
The story? Fantastic. The characters? Great. The gameplay? Not so hot.
The use of cover was poorly executed. Squad AI was abysmal. The skill system was unrewarding. The game couldn't decided if it wanted to be an action game with RPG elements or an RPG with action elements and didn't really succeed in either on a gameplay level. While I still enjoyed it, it was the story that made the game good for me.

I like ME2 better than ME1 in story, execution and combat. To me ME2 was ME1 all grown up. The story was deeper and more emotional plus the tediousness of the Mako and all planetary buildings only coming in 3 flavors was gone. Exploration was exciting again because all the locales were different. It was such a relief to take the Kodiak shuttle and land at the doorstep of your intended destination. The only thing I didn't like about ME2 is how the enormous Citadel from ME1 was reduced to a few levels. It was completely unrecognizable except for the view from Anderson's office.

I know exactly where the OP is coming from and I agree with him. To me, and I concede an emotive game like this is all about mood, experience and feeling, ME2 feels like it's connected to ME1 in the same way as Superman Returns (2006) is to Superman (1978).
Yes it's more flashy and polished than it’s predecessor but it's more of a colder, more cynical/materialistic reboot than a natural sequel. It has the money and the 'cool' stuff to get the attention of Harry Knowles etc but not the courage in it's convictions to favour story and immersion over gameplay.
Hence I share the OP's view that I regard the two as almost separate entities because they 'feel' and play so differently. Yes, some say the gameplay is better in ME2 but the thing is, that ME1 didn't feel like a game and thus I wasn't as concerned that it didn't play as well as a modern day shooter.
