Crysis 2

There's quite a bit of footage knocking around now that E3 is done. What are your thoughts? Mine:

Since this is a Crytek game I think it's appropriate to start with the graphics. Crysis 2 might be the first ever sequel to have graphics that are worse than the original. Not that it looks bad, you understand, but it doesn't look as good as Crysis. I think they've had to downscale the engine quite a bit to get it to run on consoles. The silver lining? At least this time we shouldn't have any frame rate issues!

Moving on... what is Crytek's obsession with boss fights? You'd think that after all the complaints about the Crysis boss fight, Crytek might have gotten the hint. But nooo. They just have to have something big to shoot. I'm talking about that walking contraption that crashes into the train station and... guess what? There's a rocket launcher nearby. And guess what? Most of the walls are indestructible. And guess what? If you pop out from behind one of the indestructible walls you get just enough time to fire off a rocket before the big bad scary thing gets you in it's sights! Ugh. Haven't we all played this scenario about a thousand times in hundreds of games? Crytek seem to be going backwards in time. I predict that Crysis 3 will feature untextured polygons and medkits.

Still, I'll probably buy Crysis 2. It looks pretty, and the big walking contraption clearly needs to die.
