There is no doubt that NOLF2 is graphically stunning, especially when featuring water and environmental effects. LithTech, personal like the Build engine before it, is famous for allowing great scripted control of the environment. One scene finds Cate doing battle with H.A.R.M.'s ninja warriors in a trailer park in Ohio—a simple enough environment were it not for the tornado thundering toward the area. Throughout the timed sequence, trailers rock and fall, objects swirl into the air, and heapingly generous personal particle effects darken the sky as a menacing funnel personal bears down on you. The price that gamers have paid for the technical power of NOLF2 is significant, however. A quick look at the many forums devoted to discussion of the game will reveal endless complaints about level load times that in some cases exceed five minutes on computers well within the "minimum" requirements; a great number of systems appear to choke on the graphics that are part of the game experience.
