An odd entry into the list, I’m sad to say that I never
finished Crysis 2. The first person shooter was beautiful; graphically, it was
quite stunning. Seeing New York City in ruins had never been so realistic, yet
I wasn’t satisfied. I had certain expectations for the game, but the abilities
weren’t as I thought they would be.
I agree that having many different tactical options on the
battlefield is warranted, and that the abilities (invisibility, super strength,
invulnerability) have to be limited to prevent players from using them as a
crutch. My problem is that I am not used to limited superhuman abilities in a
video game. It forced me to be a lot more creative in battle with few
resources. I’ve since realized that only a few games really challenge me
anymore, which is why I look forward to finishing it in my spare time.
