So Crysis 2 leak is here and what is to be said about it? Bad thing that Crytek can't make a game, good thing that Crytek can make a technology.
Yep, it's the same situation as before - a lot of cool graphics, nice sounds and sometimes brilliant art.
Enviroments are still repetetive, combat is fun for a while, but it grows stale very quick. Level design is not quite varied - one NY street after another NY street. Levels are awe inspiring form their looks, but sadly, they are mostly linear and the intaraction with them is quite limited. For example - you fight one another fight on just another yet square and suddenly enemies take cover in some kind of store, so you want to follow their example and look around only to find out that it was the only interactive store ON THE WHOLE LEVEL.
Strangely enough, weapons and abilities feel artificial and underpowered. Just why would someone invent a sniper rifle that can't take someone out in one shot? What's the point? Why you are able to kick a 2 ton car around like a soccerball, but like totally unable to trash some kind of a wooden door to a nearest cabin? You can throw a 90kg soldier around like a ragdoll, but you just can't tear down 2cm metal wall. C'mon abilities were fine in Crysis, why nerf them? Why always when you sprint, the suit kicks in automatically, but the reload action is still slow as hell?
With the budget so large you could easily buy Minessota and engine so flawless you can render your girlfriend face more perfect than it is IRL, it is utterly unexcusable to make such a stripped game or such a long and boring tech demo.
