Why do you feel ME1 did a better job than ME2 in this regard? The forces we fight in ME1 are not really that awe-inspirering. Is it because of all the failed experiements in ME2?
More or less. In ME1, Cerberus had no track record to speak of. We had a failure on their own terms, a failure because of Shepard, but the rest of the time we have no idea what they considered success, or if they had it.
Whereas in ME2, pretty much our only involvement with Cerberus is doing things they can't, and finding their messes.
They look good, but the rockets boots just feels a tad too silly, but I understand why Bioware added them for gameplay reasons.
Don't knock mah bootz!
I want a pair like those.
Same goes for phantoms, I still feel they are a bit too "cartoonish", even through they are a great challenge from a gameplay perspective.
I'm still undecided about them, and it will probably depend on how they're treated in Single Player. But they're an awesome cross of vanguard and infiltrator, and if it's done well in Single Player I'll be inclined to forgive the over-the-topness if it's more akin to 'biotic commando' than 'ninja.'
