About to start Mass Effect 2 - should I replay the first?

I played ME1 around the time it came out and actually don't remember much of the story. Should I replay it before starting ME2, or does ME2 do a good enough job of explaining the story in the first game?

I believe there is a recap at the beginning of ME2.

IIRC, ME2 has a story summary from ME1 so you know exactly what you did.

I did same not to long ago and went ahead and replayed ME... glad i did. though you get a summary its the little things from going directly from ME to ME2 that made it that much better. I say do it if you have the time

as long as you have a character to carry over, it should matter too muchchaoscougar1

What you said. It is a much deeper game with an imported character,
