Well what can i say about this as i loved the first game threw and threw there was no choice but to buy this and i wasn't let down at all gxs game play is kept simple loved the campaign and the mp loved alot to with the abilities you get from the sp thrown into the mp a must for any fps fan.

This game is awesome ! It has very dynamic and realistic graphics, the storyline is so enjoyable, and fighting goes beyond a traditional first-person shooter experience.

This game crashes occasionally which is, of course, a downside.

Thinking about getting Crysis 2? No need to, its an amazing grab at this price, the multiplayer is that of the Modern Warfare series' but with the included 'Crysis' powers as were in the first game which makes the close quarters combat a heck of lot more hectic and fun! The campaign itself is also a blast with an intriguing storyline.

For this price you would be crazy not to pick it up!

A solid game, thoroughly enjoyed this, although not as ground breaking as the first game, it still keeps up with it in action, the story lacks depth in some areas but not enough to impact the rating severely.

Crysis 2 really catches me, on its design and unrivaled concept single player or multiplayer game modes, fantastic graphics and game play, though its only an infantry type of warfare you will gonna enjoy the new nanosuit2.0 on every aspect and situation of the game, fast,deadly and elusive game that most of the FPS gamers would really love, high tech warfare with a mix of thrills and chills on the edge of your wide screen bezels...Crysis 2 is a different kind of story but it shows another great style of innovative warfare...

Music: 9/10

The music of crysis 2 is quite excellent and it feels grandiose...all the way from the wailing sound in the menus to the piano tune that plays when you find a collectible.

Gameplay 10/10

The gameplay is fast-paced and nice, some fans of the first game didn't like the changes to the nanosuit...speedmode and strength have been revamped a bit, but I think it makes the game flow better and you really feel like a supersoldier, there is nothing cooler than soaring trough the air spraying your enemies with hot lead.

Furthermore, the detachable turrets and the cover system are brilliant additions. The Engine has clearly been upgraded quite a bit!

Graphics 10/10

In true crytek fashion, Crysis 2 offers nice, clean, yet somewhat colorful graphics, the dx11 pack with HD-textures really make the game look nice, especially the tessalation DirectX11 feature.

Physics 9/10

Much like the graphics, the physics featured in Crysis 2 are quite marvellous, occasionally some enemies can get stuck to walls, on a side note, the AI is overall nice and challenging.

Story 8.5/10

I did get a bit attached to the story, but the main complaint I have is that you don't really start "hating" the villain.

Multiplayer 8.75/10

I really haven't gotten to play that much of the multiplayer experience, but so far it seems quite nice. Things are not too out of balance at all, but as in all the previous review topics, I have one gripe...It feels a bit too much like Call of Duty, I, personally would have preferred to have a multiplayer experience closer to the first game.

Conclusion and Final score: 9.3/10

I came in to the game with quite low expectations, this might be because I was told that the game was severely different from the first one.(I really enjoyed the original Crysis) Having played it myself, however, I must tell you that I was positively surprised and I really feel like I've gotta hand it to Crytek, the engine is really an upgrade, despite my previous doubts.

In comparison to the first game, Crysis 2 offers a much more flowing experience, the engine is upgraded in almost all ways possible. The one complaint I do have tho' is that this one is a bit more linear due to having to be a bit console friendly, you still can choose your own ways to get through various situations and there are some different paths to take, so It isn't a game-killer in any way, shape or form.

(A modding tool is also available, and using it you can create your own open-world experiences)

Thank you for reading, keep in mind that this recommendation/review is purely subjective, but considering I enjoy RTSs and RPGs more than FPSs this was still a very good game and I recommend it!

Loved the gameplay and the graphics after the DX11 and high res patch, It's a must have for anyone that is interested in FPS single player games.

Crysis 2 may just as well feel like it's a total different story from the first one but of course we know it's not. Just because the game has been overhauled into a new environment and characters doesn't mean it's a bad sequel. Most game sequels we see today become too similar to their predecessors that it feels like you are just playing an extended version of the original game.

Crysis 2 however is different from the first game. All this talk of 'dumbing down' is completely absurd just because the game is released on consoles. There are areas where Crysis 2 offers more and areas that it lacks compared to the first game. All in all, Crysis 2 is a very successful First Person Shooter.

Prone has been taken away but lean is still somewhat functional. Lean is implemented in the cover system where you take cover behind an obstacle and are able to lean around the corner or above to peek at the enemy.

The main selling point of the game , like the first one, is the tactical options you can choose in order to successfully complete missions. Crysis 2 feels like it gives you much more options than the first game. Using tac mode, you can pinpoint locations that can give you the upper hand in the battle. This is very useful especially for players playing on the Veteran difficulty and above.

The graphics have been more polished and lighting looks more dynamic and contrast compared to when Crysis first released. CryEngine 3 is the most optimized engine I've played on to date. The game looks and performs beautifully, which you can thank the consoles for that since Crytek had to really work on how it can run on lower end systems.

Crysis 2 requirements and recommended specs are definitely lower than what you had to have for the first Crysis.

The multi-player seems a lot better compared to the demo version. The maps are beautifully designed for a wide open area. I'll update more on the game-play of the multi-player since I've only tried Team Instant Deathmatch.

Crysis 2 is no doubt one of the best FPS games released in 2011 and has yet to see a contender.

I loved playing the campaign, it was so much fun that i played it twice, 1st was on the highest difficulty level possible, then on the lowest after i finished the game for fun and kicks :D

This is my first experience of the Crysis series. I was torn between starting off with the first game or going straight in for Crysis 2. I'm glad I chose the 2nd version as I prefer the New York backdrop. Graphics quality is absolutely amazing. The controls are easy to use and the game starts off with an almost "walkthrough" to get complete new starters familiar with all the controls for the nanosuit. I suppose the gameplay could be seen as a little slow to start. The multiplayer is awesome and I'm hooked on it more than the actual game! These are just my thoughts - it's the first FPS I've ever played but I'm really enjoying it. The only downside I've noticed is that in multiplayer, the game has some bugs like on occasions you cannot detatch from static gun turrets, sometimes you get stuck behind objects that you really shouldn't be able to get stuck behind and last night's bug was me getting killed, re-spawning, falling down, respawning, falling down and respawning again all without been killed by another player....

Game - 8/10

Multiplayer - 9/10 (would be 10/10 if no bugs)

Graphics - 10/10
