Gearheads of War

In comparison to KOTR I & II, I almost miss their equipment and leveling screens.  

Equipment - It may be a pet peeve, but to me it doesn't make sense that after you upgrade your equipment that the stats should not upgrade as well.  

Leveling - I wish there was a summary screen that told me what my effective stats were, including the effect of upgrades.  

Combat - In the beginning, not so fun, but after +6 hours you begin to have staying power and weapons.  However, I hate being automatically rushed by opponents and getting beat down.  The only thing I beat down are zombies.

Anyone else have similar polish issues with Mass Effect?
