Should I get Mass Effect 2 before 1?
Sicarius:
Is ME1 free roam like Fallout 3[big map to roam around] or more like borderlands or bioshock[big map but not the full game map all at once]?

Neither game is open world. You are transported to large individual areas where you free to roam.

If you want a full understanding of the events in the second game, you will need to play the first one. There's only so much the wiki pages can tell you that doing it yourself won't accomplish better. It makes it more personal. It gets you into seeing who the characters are and understand their motives. It's essential for understanding. however, if you like it just for the gameplay and not storyline, then get 2 first. But you're missing out if you do. Both games are fun in their own way. But that's my opinion.

Can I turn evil in Mass Effect or do I have the be the righteous space paladin?

You can go either way. I love that option as I have two characters. One is an starfish while the other is a goodie two shoes. I play them based on my mood that day. Very nice.
