Crysis Movie

As fantastic as the graphical technology is behind this game (and it is pretty damn fantastic), the overall premise of the game is disappointingly dull.

The narrator on that video was giving the most dramatic and intense performance of his life, but it was all so cliche I wanted to laugh.

YOU are the only one that can save us from an alien invasion!
Oh wow, I've never had to do that before, that sounds intense and in my face!

You're equiped with a HIGH TECH NANO SUIT with exo-skeloton, built in heater, underwater breather, advanced radar and vision capabilities. Also, you have the most advanced and modifiable weaponry EVER created.
Really? I'm glad you're telling me in that really dramatic voice, because it's not like every single video game ever has done that stuff before!

Your enemies will REALISTICALLY adapt to their environment. Run and gun tactics won't work here, because the enemy AI uses a special technique that reads your mind and mimics real life using complex neural net algorithms!
OMG! The enemies will behave realistically? Does that mean, like...so realistic that they will follow you and take cover when you shoot at them? Like they did back in 1998? Sweet!

Sometimes I think I've outgrown videogames. I mean, once you've saved the world from hordes of enemies using the most advanced weaponry and technology a few dozen times it just loses its glamour :(
