Breaching the line between game and reality
The first two were revolutionary in their own rights and masterpieces for their time but definitely not superior to Crysis 2 in anyway. Crysis had hardware demands which was more than what most computers back in 2007 could provide for. Crysis Warhead addressed this issue by keeping the same depth of gameplay and graphics but lowering the system requirements to a more plausible level. Crysis 2 does well in this field by making the game playable on medium hardware levels as well as offering machine's with higher specs superior quality of gameplay-quality/graphics. Story-line wise the game may not be godly superior to the first two installments but cannot be called inferior in any respect. Also this game is complete 3-D supported unlike the first two installments. Overall, Crysis 2 does exceedingly better than what GameSpot gives it credit for. This game truely does show off what the CryEngine 3 is capable of which is more than what I can say for any other game available in the market.
