Hopefully they will expand on what made the first game great, rather than strip it like they did for invisible war.
the first one is one of the best games ever despite the now-dated graphics

Me and many others that played number 2 on the Xbox thought it was superb! Absolutly amazing RPG in many areas.
Hopefully the third one builds on number 2 and is very big in scale with lots of AI etc.

don't get me wrong 2 was a good game, but it was nowhere near as good as the first one.

Most Die Hard PC gamers were disappointed by Invisible War, we thought it was "simplified" for the console market. In the first one you bought skills(you were a horrible shot in the beginning of the game, and hacking/picking locks ate up tools like mad), had more upgrade options for the weapons, individual ammo, and had an old school size-based inventory system....
