FarCry was stunning in terms of AI and graphics, but as a game it was quite lame.
They should have released it for free as a tech demo to sell their engine :P
CryoEngine2 does look amazing. It shows us how nice HalfLife 3 will probably look while running 3 times faster.
Once again, it gave me that giddy "OMG It looks like real!" feeling, to the extent that I almost felt like the guy was killing real people.
I'm sure that will wear off quickly... especially when we realize that all the animations are boring, premade sequences, those trucks that smash through buildings drive like canoes, very few buildings can actually be driven through (80% of which have a much less spectacular smashing effect), there is nothing within these buildings to break, there are only 3 voice clips per character, and health packs are not both present and invincible.
