Yes, ME 2 is far more shooterish, very consolized too.  If you really enjoyed ME 1 as I did, it's unlikely you'll find ME 2 very good.  It seemed an entirely different game to me.  For some reason ME 2 now has bullets, a step back in technology, and they replaced wandering around worlds looking for resources with a very boring scanning mini-game.  There's far less choices and dialog as well.  I didn't even try ME 3 because I was so disappointed in ME2, and heard they went even further into consolized shooter territory.

I suppose it's not that bad compared to other games of the same type, and you might enjoy it if you like console shooters, just be prepared for it to be totally different.
