Creating a game that is only available for unique high end computers but gameplay that is similiar or reminiscent of most of the fps out there.

I liked the unique graphics and the unique gameplay.

They increased the graphics and dumbed down the gameplay.

If graphics were that important to me I'd still be playing age of conan.

the gamepay is almost exactly the same as Crysis 1 except for smaller multiplayer teams and more streamlined controls.

They just made the controls more intuitive and flexible. They didn't dumb down gameplay

Forget about Crysis 1 high end requirements. Crysis 2 runs x5 times better than original Crysis.
