Remember in ME1 where if you used the Fire/Incinerator ammo your enemy would erupt into a beautiful bouquet of flaming particles? Or if you blasted them with something toxic they would disintegrate into green paste....or the bodies would slump using realisitic physics. Why then, in the sequel do we have dead pan death animations, vanishing bodies, polygon exploding bodies? The only enemy that has a "beautiful" death animation is the Praetorian. Loved the death animations in ME1. What gives?
Why did they downgrade the death animations in ME2?

They had explosions that were equally impressive. Also being able to fling Geth in low gravity into the Citadel sky = priceless. Seriously Exploding geth and vanishing bodies? WTF? ME1 has ME2 beat by a mile when it comes to special effects in the death animations.

I dislike vanishing dead foes in any game. The impact animations looked good sometimes, while other times the blood looked like it came from a low budget 60's/70's horror film (i.e., one of those Peter Cushing Dracula movies).
Yes ME1 wins this battle, but I think the devs where on to something they didn't quite nail down in ME2.

They really stripped down the physics system. In the first game a singularity field would pick up many objects in the environment and they would spin and collide with the enemies caught up in it. It was usually very impressive to watch, though occasionally it would cause massive slow down. That the problem with ME1, they pushed the 360 too hard. Thats why certain graphical elements in ME2 are in fact inferior. Geometric complexity is definitely inferior in ME2, though the game has a "cleaner" look and runs without graphic, lag loading hitches that plagued the first game.
