    This game sucks so much. No DX 11 support. Linear gameplay, stupid repetitive AI, no advanced graphic settings, numerous bugs and much more. Don't buy it now wait for patch and DX 11 implementation. Multiplayer is not working by the way, game is not saving your progress in multi and there is no punk buster only enigmatic crytec anti-cheat protection already hacked on consoles.

I had high hopes for Crysis 2, I had hoped that it would be ground breaking and very impressive, sadly I was mistaken. I will first say that i did not play Crysis for the PC, this is my first game in the Crysis series. I have played both campaign and multiplayer, and I will tell you where I stand with both. I'll start with the campaign. From the beginning, the campaign was both confusing and lack-luster. At first I believed that the story would develop and begin to make sense as it went one, sadly, it did no such thing. The campaign is also painstakingly difficult, even for the normal difficulty. As the campaign goes on though, it does get better, while there isn't a large improvement, potential begins to stir. The length of the campaign, is around 5 hours, which, even for a game with multiplayer, is still quite short. Of all of the low points in the campaign the best part was the ending, not because I wanted it to end, but because the ending was actually good, if not great. If Crytek had to do something right, it was the ending. The multiplayer on the otherhand, is a bit more impressive. At first the multiplayer, has a very sharp learning curve, and you have to learn how to not play it like CoD. You can NOT run around, running and gunning, and expect to win. Apart from the learning curve the multiplayer isn't bad, though games are not very consistent. This meaning that you will rarely ever 4 bar, if you are not the host your connection is usually a 2 or 1 bar connection. Sadly, Crysis 2 did not impress me as much as I had hoped. Hopefully, Crytek will realize that a console is not a PC and that you must treat them differently. Crysis 2 is not a terrible game, but not a great one neither.… Expand

The game play was often very good, but the constant difficult enemies actually took away from my enjoyment of the game. Facing "waves" of enemies is a stupid way to extend the play time of a game.

Gone also is the fun of being a super soldier, I didn't feel that superiority I enjoyed in the first. The cloak had the fun sucked out of it, speed mode has been replaced with normal sprint, which for some reason still drains energy. and strength mode is always on, however it is far weaker. armor mode is there, and can be toggled but it is also the most boring and standard of the powers we once had. So essentially you are a somewhat above average soldier with a cloak and extra health. as opposed to the Juggernaut we were in crysis1. and for some reason, they made the aliens into bipedal creatures, making them only slightly different than normal humans. Graphics are good, nothing on crysis1. game is passable, but why they took so many giant steps back is puzzling.… Expand

    Compared to crysis 1, this is a step back instead of progression. Firstly the graphics are an entire dx level behind the first one which was released 4 years previous to this one and secondly the storyline is all over the place. Coupled with those two massive faults already, the game suffers from an extremely bland selection of enemies and none of the weapons really pack much of a punch.Compared to crysis 1, this is a step back instead of progression.

Had to pretty much force myself to get through the final few chapters of the game as the pace is there but the sheer repetitiveness of the storyline and enemies you face squeezes any will to play on out of you in no time. Another thing that really annoys me about this game is the odd film grain effect which you cannot capture on a screenshot, due to the sheer amount of post processing effects added to screenshots to make the game look vastly more graphical than it actually is.

    What makes a great game? Some may characterise a game based on its innovations - like graphics, gaming mechanisms, etc. Conversely, I feel that a good game is one that you want to revisit at some point.

This time, I DID play it thru to completion - at which point, it sat idlely on my HDD gathering digital dust. A few months later, upon hearing of the DX11 patch, my expectations got the better of me and I decided to install it in conjunction with the high-res textures pack. Needless to say, these upgrades certainly made the game much more visually pleasing - in some instances, scenery was almost lifelike. That said, I soon discovered that unlike the myriad of older titles that I have in my collection, I had no incentive to play the game through for a second time. Unfortunately, I've come to the realisation that developers have lost their way... polish doesn't make a game. Whilst Crysis 2 was enjoyable at times, it was nowhere near worthy of the hype.… Expand

    I bought Crysis 2 just for the graphics, which are pretty amazing when you get DX11 and High-Res textures. But CryEngine 2 has a somewhat Unreal Tournament 3 kind of look which isn't promising. Lighting isn't as vivid as I expected either. In terms of gameplay, the single player campaign is very dull, bland and generically unfascinating, especially when compared to Far Cry.

In terms of gameplay, the single player campaign is very dull, bland and generically unfascinating, especially when compared to Far Cry. It's not bad, but not great or anything special at all. Multiplayer is more promising, offering a standard multiplayer but with "perks" which mostly act as nanosuit enhancements. It's a difficult and quite different multiplayer to CoD due to the nanosuit which has stealth, armor and nanovision. But if you wish you can play a gun-on-gun game which is EXTREMELY slow due to the stupid movement speed. The gunplay is pretty average however it is satisfying. Sniping isn't overpowered at least, but it is slightly underpowered due to the very slow rate of fire. There aren't many weapons too choose from, and it's not an overcomplicated multiplayer but not oversimplified like a free game either. Killstreaks are balanced since you have to go up to an enemy and pick up their tag to earn them. They are direct copy of CoD4; 3 gets you radar, 5 airstrike and 7 an attack helicopter. Overall the game excels in nothing but graphics. It's a pretty face but not particularly engaging or intense like Far Cry. However it isn't hideous so if you're after a visual treat then I highly recommend it.… Expand

It was completely linear, you are confined to corridors and the biggest place where you can move around freely is maybe 40x40 metres. The "tactical options" are a joke because you do not have any options, you just have to jump in and kill everyone quickly, before they get you. The nanosuit seems to be very weak and even the nano vision drains energy rapidly. Given the sheer numbers of enemies, it is quite frustrating. The original Crysis gave you the option to devise your own tactics but here you do not have absolutely any choice.
    The graphics looked terrible at first, now they are quite nice with the DX 11 patch. However, when I compare Crysis and Crysis 2 I really cannot say that Crysis 2 has that better graphics. It is also slower and I am not quite sure why - the slight improvement in graphics does not warrant such a drastic performance drop.
    The story is extremely bad. While Crysis was interesting, Crysis 2 is just random. The voices talking to me are getting on my nerves. Starting from the nanosuit itself, ending with the "mad scientist"-type guy.
    To sum it up, Crysis 2 is playable and it could be fun if you like linear games with tons of enemies in your way. But compared to its predecessor, it is very weak.    … Expand

    Probably the biggest reason my rating is only a six is due to the lack of thought they put into the multiplayer. It highly likens to Call of Duty multiplayer tactics, only with the cheap revised nano-suit 2.0 abilities added in.

Why he is the chosen one to kill the aliens? ... At least it's graphically fantastic, and It has It's fun parts, but the repetitiveness and the linearity of Crysis 2 broke the game. The multiplayer is frustrating in this game. In multiplayer, every player is able to be invisible. Literally, in every multiplayer match the players spend 85 % of time being invisible, and killing enemies without being detected. The players use invisibility so much in a match, that can be frustrating as hell dying from an invisible enemy. Crysis 2 is average. (6.7)… Expand

Things are constantly exploding and the game to a point has TOO much graphical flare which distracts what would have otherwise been a good shooter with the implementation of the nano suit. The sandbox style of the levels provide for a level of verticality that the Crysis series needed. Even then after all that, the story while at first seems muddled in corporations, trans-humanism, and an alien invasion, picks up somewhat toward the end but the ending is a bummer.

The other options usually left you over exposed or facing too many enemies at once.

    I think if I was to replay I might try to sneak past everyone but I bought this as a shooter not a stealth game. The thing that attracted me to the game was the ability rig a level with explosives, distract a soldier, set off the explosives, kick over cars rip off a M/C gun from a jeep and let rip into the remaining enemies but this type of dynamic play wasn't really possible (or at least not worth the risk and time).

    Part of the reason was the level design wasn't set up for this and the enemy AI spotted you for no reason. The balance of assassination vs the 'Tactical Options' was also pretty weak and unrewarding.

    The game does look good but I did find enemies walking in walls and other glitches, the enemy AI was also nothing special and as an example they would always go and stand over a dead body so a snipers dream.    … Expand

    This is a guideline for how to properly review games. Many reviewers like to get a “feel” for a game, and arbitrarily give a game a score that they believe it deserves. This results in wildly different scores between different reviewers, and vastly different scores between similar games. This guideline addresses these problems and scores games fairly and consistently. This guideline also gives scores that are usually similar to the metacritic score.

    The review score is based out of 10 points. There are no “half” or 0.5 increments. It is impossible to have a score above 10 or below 0. The review score will change as the game gets new dlc, drops in price, or if more secrets are found through the game increasing its appeal.

    The scoring is split into 6 sections. The first five sections can add a possible 2 points to the final score. The first 5 sections are Single Player/Multi Player, Gameplay, Visuals/Story, Accessibility/Longevity, and Pricing.

    Notice that 3 of these sections have two parts. These particular sections will be scored based on the stronger part of the game of the two. For example, if a game has a lousy single player campaign, but an excellent multiplayer component, that section will be based solely on the multiplayer as if the single player did not exist. This allows games to be based on their own merits, as many unnecessary features are shoehorned into video games by publishers to reach a “feature quota”. Games that excel in both areas of a section don’t receive should be noted in the written review, but cannot increase the score past 2 in that section. However, it can be taken into account in the final section

    The final section can add 1, add 0, or subtract 1 to the final score. This final section is the “wildcard” section. This section is for how the reviewer “feels” about the game, but limits this only to this section, rather than the entire 10 point review. This section can include any positive or negative point that was not covered in the previous 5 sections.    … Expand

    As a game on its own it's alright. But as a sequel to 2 amazing games, Crysis and Crysis Warhead, it's a pretty big disappointment. It feels inferior in almost every way. Even though it utilizes more advanced graphics than its predecessors, they look damn ugly. Everything is drowned in unnecessary filters, excessive bloom, blur and horrible anti-aliasing.

Even though it utilizes more advanced graphics than its predecessors, they look damn ugly. Everything is drowned in unnecessary filters, excessive bloom, blur and horrible anti-aliasing. I couldn't bear how ugly the game looked so I installed a graphics mod (MaldoHD for anyone interested) and it was a huge improvement. Helped me push through the game.

    The game improves on suit mechanics which make switching between powers a lot easier and allowing for a lot more different tactics in combat and stealth. However, that great feeling of power and speed the previous games gave you while playing completely lost. Movement feels much more restricted, a lot less smooth and the suit feels much weaker as it doesn't quite pack the punch. There's no destructible environment whatsoever. In Crysis you could literally tear apart houses to the ground. Missions are very linear and get boring very fast. Constantly just mindlessly obeying orders by unknown people talking in your earpiece - go to location and destroy/retreive. Loading screen. Go to other location and do same thing. Loading screen. Considering all this takes place between dull looking concrete walls, which made every location in the game look the same, as opposed to the vast, vivid semi-open sandbox world in Crysis filled with lush vegetation, every mission felt twice as tedious.

    There's no mystery behind the aliens and they don't feel like a threat at all. No ominous feeling of dread caused by their presence like in Crysis. There's a lot more focus on story, but it's as compelling as watching paint dry.

    When you get used to all of this the game can even be quite fun, especially when playing stealthy. Although, when you upgrade your suit you have enough power to keep your cloak on all the time and just waltz through every enemy encounter without firing a bullet which felt pretty ridiculous.    … Expand

    Dialled back in scope and vision compared to the first games on the level design. They really made the sci-fi suit usage and melee combat more accessible. Very polished sci-fi action shooter. However it felt like Crysis in name only. This game just didn't have the same feel as the others games in this continued series.

Crysis 2 felt like such a sharp contrast compared to Crysis and Crysis Warhead it is constantly jarring playing every second of it.

    Oh and that ending sucks for sure. This game put me off playing Crysis 3 for years. The new direction just didn't set right and always pulled me out of the game, because I have played the first ones.    … Expand

    Данная часть вышла очень неоднозначной, во-первых, графика для 2011 года просто супер, вопросов к данному аспекту игры 0. Однако сюжет вызывает огромное количество вопросов, ибо он становится более менее понятен, логичен и адекватен только к концу игры, в начале ты вообще не выкупаешь, что происходит, и зачем ты вообще тут что-либо делаешь. Твисты очень даже неплохи и неожиданны,вот еслиДанная часть вышла очень неоднозначной, во-первых, графика для 2011 года просто супер, вопросов к данному аспекту игры 0. Однако сюжет вызывает огромное количество вопросов, ибо он становится более менее понятен, логичен и адекватен только к концу игры, в начале ты вообще не выкупаешь, что происходит, и зачем ты вообще тут что-либо делаешь. Твисты очень даже неплохи и неожиданны,вот если бы в начале игры они получше сумели подать материал, то игре можно было бы дать и более высокую оценку, однако имеем то, что имеем. Импакт от стрельбы на уровне первой части и хуже, чем в warhead, как так можно было сделать я не понимаю. Стволов все так же мало, прокачка костюма безусловно +, да и использовать его гораздо удобнее, чем в предыдущих играх, не нужно активировать колесо выбора. Персонажам здесь опять же не сопереживаешь, они написаны сухо и не раскрыты от слова совсем, за исключением 1 дедка, но это будет спойлер. Действия куда более монотонны, чем в warhead, локации однообразны, ИИ абсолютно такой же, как в предыдущих частях, в этом плане прогресса не наблюдается. Музыка,кстати, шикарна, неудивительно, ведь ее писал сам Ханс Циммер, она прекрасно передает атмосферу игры. Физику окружения они немного улучшили, но проявляется это лишь в пинании машин, интерактивности не хватает. Сам главный герой - Алькатрас - всю игру молчит, если в warhead мы имели полноценного персонажа, то тут все гораздо слабее, мы по сути зомбаком управляем. В отличие от первой части, игра полностью линейна, доп. миссий так же нет. И так, как игра была выпущена в 2011 году, высокую оценку ей поставить никак нельзя, ведь колда на тот момент была гораздо лучше и интереснее, предыдущие части в плане сюжета и его подачи так же выделялись на фоне второй части, мир к тому моменту уже успел повидать третий Battlefield, Splinter cell Conviction и т.д. В общем и целом, игра объективно слабее предыдущих своих частей в плане сюжета, его подачи, оружие ощущается хуже, чем в аддоне к первой, ИИ такое же унылое г, боссов теперь вообще нет, главный герой никакущий, в итоге были проработаны отдельные мелочи, в частности, костюм, но глобально игра стала хуже.… Expand

    New York in ruins, alien invasion and a hi-tech suit? Sounds like a typical B-movie. This time it's different – it's done with such perfection and enthusiasm that all FPSs can finally retire – either 2nd World War or modern. [Issue#203]

    When we played Crysis 2 on the consoles, we honestly could have taken or left it. Only on the PC do we feel comfortable recommending and replaying Crytek's best game yet – and its first chance of matching technical prowess with good game design.

    Crysis 2 meets and exceeds all my expectations as a sequel and a next-gen shooter.
