"The release of Crytek's latest computer game - Crysis®, powered by their revolutionary CryENGINE® 2, opened new horizons for us. CryENGINE® 2 combined a number of innovative programming ideas and creative decisions to create product which eliminated a lot of the previous limitations which used to exist for game developers. We were also impressed by their handy Sandbox 2 editor, which was designed to work with very expansive and highly detailed locations, their modern dynamic lighting model, and their character animation systems, including inverse kinematics and dynamics. With all these amazing features there was no other alternative for us except to license this remarkable software product. Today we pleased to announce that we have successfully entered into the license agreement."
