  To be honest, I never liked Crysis. I always looked at it as a techdemo. It was one of those games that had numerous glitches - BSODs and audio glitches were frequent and I do not remember any other games with which I was having similar issues at the time. Also, my rig surpassed the system requirements for the game so I never understood what could have caused these issues. But the various websites and forums on the internet confirmed the same. In any case, the jungle environment was already familiar following Crytek's Far Cry. So, when the news came that the sequel to Crysis would take place in New York (now an "urban jungle"), I looked forward to seeing and playing it. The game delivered: the destroyed cityscape of Manhattan looks superb thanks to CryEngine 3. We are to navigate between the floors of destroyed buildings and combat on the city streets is common. Finally, the aliens appear in the form of regular soldiers, too - it's not just the big monsters that you need to fight like in the first part. As for gameplay, the protagonist's nano suit has been streamlined. Strength and speed modes are now combined. We can now perform silent takedowns so following a stealthy playing mode is more rewarding. Upgrading the suit's features is a possibility based on the alien kills we perform - this is an unnecessary role playing section of the game but it does not represent any issues. Overall, I was satisfied with the sequel. Single player campaign lasts for 12-13 hours which is quite long these days. Cutscenes are frequent and Hans Zimmer's excellent score helps us with the immersion into the world of Crysis. Too bad that starting from June multiplayer mode will be unavailable for good (following the announcement of GameSpy), so, should it be discounted, it should be purchased with only the single player experience in mind.

  2023 review : ONE OF THE WORST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED ! 1/10 . === i recently played and finished crysis 1, crysis warhead and crysis remastered here on steam. i gave crysis 1 (7.5/10), crysis warhead(8/10) and crysis remastered : 8/10. i enjoyed crysis 1 and warhead as a kid, and even today it is still fund and entertaining. Now to crysis 2 ! even as a kid i remember i didn't like crysis2 but it was ok i guess. but playing crysis 2 in 2023 i have 1 and only 1 good thing to say about this game and it is that the decision to take the game from jungle to a place with buildings was a good choice in theory since it will lead to you actually using your suits power mode and high jumps. other than this every thing about this game is ABYSMAL ! don't get me started on the story which is the worst thing ever, it has no story, nothing is explained, nothing is answered, everything is changed for no apparent reason, suddenly the suit has an AI and is a super computer capable of making vaccines or whatever, your suit becomes cure, first you are being leaded by gould then you start listening to hargereves, then you become a soldier doing whatever barcley tells you, the alcatraz character has no personality whatsoever and makes no decisions, nomad is gone, prophet jibber jabber stuff, aliens are suddenly red instead of blue, who knows what happened to prophet, where the hell is nomad etc.... the game was designed for console players, it a noob shoot to kill game with nothing interesting at all ! the game fails across everything, story, gameplay, details, every second i spent playing this i hated it. crysis 1 was a PC GAME ! this is a copy of halo for ps3 ! and the graphic of crysis1 was way better than this, this might look better, but it is not ! the whole game is blurry, nothing is clear, it is one of the early ps3 games like batman1, bioshock1 which was full hd but was not really ! and the whole game is blurry and give you headaches due to low graphics. the game is so bad that even a REMAKE will not make it good, let alone a remaster ! NO IT CAN'T RUN CRYSIS ! no matter how much they tried to optimize this game, the game is not good. i can keep righting the things that are wrong but it will never end since the game fails in every detail. === i give this game : 1/10. stupid console game with nothing interesting. ABYSMAL ! reviewed by IMMORTALEADER .

  The singleplayer campaing is very good. Multiplayer just isn't though. I don't even know if there are still servers (probably not, game is old) but even if there are, last time I played this game it was just at least one hacker in every match totally ruining the experience for everyone else. Shame too because the mutiplayer used to be very good before then, but now it's just always someone flying around the map with an auto shotgun getting kills every second and clipping through walls and shit with speed hacks.

  [h1]TL:DR? See Conclusion[/h1] [h1]INTRODUCTION:[/h1] Crysis 2 is a first-person shooter developed by Crytek using the Cry Engine 3. It serves as a sequel to the critically acclaimed 2007 game Crysis and is the first game on the franchise to be released on the consoles as opposed to the first game that was PC exclusive. The game puts the player in the shoes of a U.S. Marine named Alcatraz whose team was sent to Manhattan to assist in rescuing civilians after an epidemic has infected the city. Shortly after arrival, an unknown enemy attacked their Submarine, thus forcing the team to swim to the surface only to be gunned down by an Alien gunship. Luckily, Laurence "Prophet" Barnes, former team leader of Raptor Team (Crysis 1) and known Nano-suit user, finds Alcatraz and bestows upon him his mission (along with the Nano-suit), before shooting himself in the head. Alcatraz now faces a city at the brink of collapse due to the on-going battle between the US Military, Cell Paramilitary Forces and the Alien race called the Ceph. [h1]PROS:[/h1] + Beautiful graphics and User Interface + Excellent sound quality, voice acting and music + New mechanics like cover and quick activation keys (to access Nano-suit abilities for a more dynamic gameplay) + Good story line that delves into the true nature of the Nano-suit and the Alien Invasion + New customization options for the Nano-suit but...(See CON #1) + Expanded weapon selection and upgrades + Challenging but fair difficulties which highlights the use of each Nano-suit functions and upgrades + Collectibles that expands the story + Multiple ways to complete an objective despite the more linear maps [h1]CONS:[/h1] - Nano-suit upgrades are limited with some of them being outright better than the others - AI glitches at some areas, especially after reloading from the last checkpoint - Gun models take up a quarter of the screen (as if the gun was being held directly near Alcatraz's face) - Horrible FOV (Field of View) [h1]CONCLUSION:[/h1] GREAT GAME. Crysis 2, like its predecessor, has some of the most amazing graphical fidelity of its time which still holds up even today as it can be seen in its high-resolution textures, dynamic lighting, and beautifully crafted levels and sceneries. The game introduces new mechanics such as a new cover system, Nano-suit upgrade system, expanded weapon selection, and a revamped Nano-suit ability activation mechanic. Despite the occasionally glitchy but challenging AI, you'll have an intense and action packed experience. The game could last you at least 8 hours of game time with your average difficulty setting and around 10 hours with the harder ones in single player. Do you buy this at full price? Sure but I highly RECOMMEND you buy this as a BUNDLE (Crysis Collection) which would include Crysis 1 and Warhead. --------------------------------------------------------- [h1]Like my Reviews?

  This game builds on the strengths of the first instalment in the series while crucially fixing many of its original flaws. The gameplay, level design and enemies are greatly improved, making this a fun-to-play game that can be easily recommended.

  Crysis 2, like the original is a first person shooter. The game was released in early 2011. It also follows on from the plot of Crysis 1 as well. Although you don't really need to have played the original in order to follow the story. Crysis 2 was also the first game to use the CryEngine 3. The game play has all of the regular FPS style features. You play the role of a Recon Marine, called Alcatraz. You are able to customize your weapons to match the situations you are in, as well as customizing your suite to the same too. Crysis 2 is set in New York City, which is often referred to by many as an urban jungle. This does however offer various different tactical options when it comes to planning attacks; allowing players to navigate between floors and buildings, and ruined buildings. We also see a few changes in the Nanosuit used by our character too; this time you are able to use more than one suit power at a time, the strength and power modes have been combined into the same mode, and the stealth suit has been improved slightly. Crysis 2 has AMAZING graphics; this could easily pass as a game being released recently. If you put all of your settings up to full, you are going to be in amazement at how good this game looks. You will need a beefy rig to keep a steady 60 fps, but my oh my it is worth it. I sadly see no replay-ability in Crysis 2, there are the addition of a couple of difficulty modes, but to be honest; once you have played it the once, there is no reason to play it again. The single-player campaign is a decent length though - we are looking at a 18 hour long story mode which is very good for an FPS. Thankfully I had no technical issues with Crysis 2 (unlike I did have with the original), I was able to play with every graphical setting on ultra and still had 60 frames the whole time. The only thing I will mention is there is no longer any multiplayer support since GameSpy shut it's servers down in May 2014. If you enjoyed the first Crysis game, you will basically enjoy Crysis 2, it's the same just with even better graphics, more compelling story, and stellar FPS action and did I mention the amazing graphics? People may think £20 is a bit steep for a game of this age, however I am completely happy with this price as it almost fits into the £1/hour ratio. 1) Stay away 2) Only recommended when on sale [u]3) Recommended[/u] 4) Highly recommended 5) This is a must play If you found this review helpful, please consider giving it a thumbs up.

  Every PC gamer must know the first rule in PC building and gaming, can it run Crysis?
