Crysis 2

After being really impressed with the original Crysis, I was INSANELY curious to see what the next game would bring, and boy was I happy. Not only is the story more focused, tighter, and epic in scope, not only does it has the most beautiful graphics on any platform, and not only does it has the most stellar production values, but it also has the most ballsy and entertaining action set-pieces that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing and playing through.

The new hero is a Force Recon Marine known as Alcatraz, who had the unfortunate yet coincidental task of being the last hope for humanity armed with the technology of the future; the likes of which no ordinary man, albeit a soldier as ever witnessed in the history of mankind. A physically fractured soul due to injuries sustained in battle, Alcatraz is locked and loaded, but what is the true nature of his mission and what fate does it hold for mankind? The first game's story had an action/sci-fi movie-like plot that was good, even though it left a few unanswered questions concerning it's context. Now with Crysis 2, we learn who created the Nanosuit, its origins, background information about it's original protagonists, and much more. However, Crysis 2 has a lot of dark themes in it's narrative, biological warfare, civil unrest, martial law, private military forces and their morally ambiguous agendas, and identity crisis(no pun intended). It's true that some characters may be underdeveloped, but that's saved for the sequel, which I'm sure will tie up some loose ends, but the story is actually really gripping; kept my attention for the whole duration of the game.

But Crysis 2 wouldn't be a Crysis game without action set-pieces. Out of all the FPS game's I've played, the series hands down has the most exciting and entertaining of them all. From massive destruction to some horrific scenes of human suffering and decadence, no other game in this genre has conveyed post-apocalyptic alien invasion scenarios like this one; for which I was thoroughly impressed. This no doubt helped along with the games stunningly beautiful visual effects that are so cinematic, you actually feel like you're in a Hollywood blockbuster action/sci-fi film. The sandbox style of play is back, though not as prevalent as in the previous game, but you still have many options on how to attack your enemies. The level of tactical decision making is key to your success and one of the series' finest aspects.

I'm not so sure about the multi-player. I've played several sessions(this was on Xbox Live) but I'm an old-school gamer who likes action and story, and Crysis 2 fits the bill nicely. There are glitches like enemies freezing in place and some inconsistencies with sound, but it doesn't mar the game one bit. Speaking of sound, this game has the most impressive sound effects I've ever heard; from the powerful roar of the machine guns to the massive scale destruction of the urban environment, the game is a treat for the ears, especially if you have a surround sound system cranked to the max. And it also helps if you have a widescreen TV equipped with 3D. I've never seen the game in 3D, but even without 3D, the game is still impressive and a blast to play so for those of you who have a set up, get this game to truly experience what it has to offer.

I really enjoyed Crysis 2; even more than Crysis 1. Heck, I enjoy both games, but Crysis 2 story won me over, simply because it's more epic in scope. Having beaten 2, I'm more pumped than ever for Crysis 3. No other series gave me the feeling of being a bad-ass super-soldier with the feel of a big-budget blockbuster action movie!! Kudos to Crytek for delivering one of the most ballistically entertaining FPS on the market!!

CRYSIS 2 (2011) is a thrilling sequel to the amazing first game, however this game was the first one of the series that I actually played. This game was an incredible experience, amazing graphics, intense and thrilling story. Playing the game in the Crysis nano exo suit makes for an awesome gameplay.

While an alien invasion in New York City isn't a new concept, the game mechanics and style made it an incredibly thrilling experience and not your everyday invasion story.

"Set 3 years after the original game. Fight the aliens, following the protagonist in a new type of jungle; New York, the urban jungle."

Crysis 2 is one of the best FPS around, with some of the best game graphics to boot. This game was a super exciting and memorable experience. An excellent game. Play this if you enjoy FPS games or hyper realistic sci-fi games about alien invasions.

Greetings from Lithuania.

What a shooter! I love FPS, that's my favorite genre. I played a LOTE of FPS, and I can tell you people - this is the BEST looking game - period. The graphics are simply AMAZING. This new game engine Cry engine 3 has a lot of potential. I finished this game for 2 times and finishing it on the hardest mode right now. Great sound effects and just wish that my monitor could have 3D - now that would be something. Great voice acting. So overall, play Crysis 2 - You REALLY won't be disappointed.

Two BIG thumbs UP!!!

After installing Crysis 2 I normally go to the settings graphics, where I waited two surprises.

Surprise number one - the graphics settings: 1. good graphics 2 . maximum graphics 3 . extreme graphics 4 . burn computer

Surprise number 2 - the graphics settings can not be adjusted. "Setup 3D" is present, but it is not active. I regarded it as "Fuff! We have two years of this schedule sculptured. Come and check it out. "

Very reluctant to kill people, while we fought with aliens. Me tried to use, and I saw on their insolent persons they will use me and throw out. But the story did not give options, and the main character posed as Gordon Freeman, simultaneously collecting other people's badges and reading correspondence of Aunt Tara with Uncle Hardgriv. I trusted the one person who one third of the game led me through enemy ambushes.

Developers have tried to steal, oh, take something of the best games of the genre. From HALO took indication suit and the concept of monsters. From Half-Life 2 took alien turret and urban destruction. True invisibility in full (including FPS) - their innovation. Also in the scene is used to receive, "Go do it, otherwise you will not pass". For example, at the end of the game, in the spore generator gate will not open until you kill monsters in front of them. Had to cut all .

Separately say about glitches. Can look in the internet - door is closed, the character freezes, the NPC does not do what they should. Usually helps to restart the level, but not always.

Along with other fashion features done in Crysis 2 added delayed cursor. Percentage of not the strongest in the world of computers among gamers represent? So all of them due to lack of power this feature is enhanced. Buffeting the cursor so strong, that you can forget of fast mouse action.

Toward the middle of the game know that the suit is not so cool. No matter how hard you try, you still going several times on the verge of death. In general, "The suit helps those who help themselves".

Corridor path of game 7 out of 10. In the first part of the sandbox were bigger.

So, what we have: Acceptable schedule (yes, I saw this game on the highest setting) and resource consumption at the level of program for performance testing. Head of Crytek Cevat Yerli "Graphics, whether it's lighting or shadows, puts you in a different emotional context and drives the immersion, and immersion is effectively the number one thing we can use to help you buy into the world." Ie we must immerse themselves in the atmosphere of delusional story, uncalled nary interest, and look at the downtrodden memory space through raw HDR.

From the pros: 1. I stopped several times to admire Manhattan. 2. intelligent monsters. Pursue the enemy, and not leave their comrades in trouble. 3. opportunity to progress through the game in stealth mode.

To me Crysis 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. The storyline is a 10/10, the music is a 10/10 (I believe it won best storyline and music for a video game of the year). The main song is in fact on my music playlist as I am addicted to it - as are thousands of other fans. I only wish that you could run around the map a little bit more (it's not an open world style), it's just too specific for me. The graphics are a 10/10 just like all other Crytek games. I thoroughly enjoyed it and actually like it better than Crysis 1. It's a must play in my mind. The storyline however is quite short so don't expect to play for weeks. If your going to play it then go for PC version, it's not as resource heavy as the first Crysis and will run easily on most modern computers. So yeah...Enjoy!
