Hasn't aged that well. The combo of MMO-tier slowly walking around and Skyrim-tier trying to climb mountains with a Half-Life 2-tier vehicle is just weak. Your squadmates are mostly bland tropes, and most of their dialog is just explaining their species' lore (including the humans). Paragon Shepard has the most compelling dialog options, but they don't have much to compete with; Neutral Shepard is just inconsistent nonsense who's good at nothing, and Renegade Shepard doesn't do anything uniquely badass, so there's no reason to be anything but nice and helpful, which is the only sensible personality of someone who delays a manhunt for weeks to help random strangers.

Makes me appreciate all of Mass Effect 2's improvements even more.
