    Haven't played the first part, but after replaying Crysis 2, I will give it a chance. Nice futuristic fps with fast action and an interesting story. Overall rating: 8.6.

    What makes Crysis 2 shine is its versatile gameplay. You have a plethora of option when encountering enemies.

    Até que eu gostei porém fica muito repetitivo, os inimigos são meio burros e facilita demais, o jogo só é "difícil" pois há muitos inimigos. Os gráficos estão até que bonitos porém o FPS cai constantemente e isso prejudica a jogatina, por isso eu darei nota 7

    Está entretenido pero es muy corto y, a diferencia del primero, es más "sobre raíles", además de tener un final que deja bastante frío.

    10/10, one of the easiest ratings I have ever done.
    CryTek has never disappointed me up until after Crysis 3, when they abruptly stopped making games, I guess due to Crysis 3 making poor ass sales, such a shame.
    I mean Crysis from 2007 has legendary status, everybody remembers the jokes about someones PC "but does it run Crysis though?", the game was absolutely insane for it's time.    10/10, one of the easiest ratings I have ever done.

    Crysis 2 is actually one of my all time favourite games, it's up there with some legendary PS2 games and it's predecessor.
    Story was nice, I also liked the change in environment from Cryisis to Crysis 2, going from Jungle to Concrete Jungle and doing the complete opposite was a good idea in my book, the only thing I found a bit sad is that they didn't keep the suit colour changing for each ability you're using, what a shame I loved the Nanosuit 1.0. But god damn, when the game dropped, it held the title of best graphics right up until PS4, they were ridiculously good and CryEngine is AMAZING. Too bad all the games that flopped tend to use this masterpiece of an engine. I so hoped for another CryTek game, but this'll have to be a farewell on my part. It was a pleasure playing those revolutionary masterpieces. Salute to you CryTek.    … Expand

    + Fantastic Graphics. The music is fantastic.
    + Voice acting and the animation is fantastic.
    + Game-play is fresh with the suits powers and the tactical advantage given to you to choose from.
    + Story is decent, but not as good as it could of been.
    - Feels buggy and sloppy in areas, unfinished.
    - Having to keep switching on your armour is a pain.

    I thought Crysis 2 was a really good game,with oiled shooter mechanics that worked well to give the player a great roller-coaster ride through out its immersive campaign. Multiplayer is just..well,fun! I cant really say anything special about it,because its similar to what youll find in COD games. Overall,the plot was a little linear,but i reccommend this game to everyone!

    Crysis is a great looking FPS with more stealth and options than traditional titles, good game
    Positives: great looking title, solid mechanics for an FPS
    Negatives: Doesn't deliver balance of gameplay very well the stealth and armour aspects seem to detract from solid FPS mechanics

    It is hard to say what is the problem of the game. Ok there is no problem of the game honestly. The gameplay is really smooth and enjoyable with a decent gaming length.
    At least a very decent commerce-facing game.
    Plus I really like alien-high-tech-sic-fic genre, so this is the dish for me.

The Nanosuit which is the main feature that seperates the Crysis series from other FPS' is fun to use, and swapping between Armor, Stealth and Power modes is a pleasant and necessary chore when playing online. However, unlike the first Crysis on PC, you can't use all of each class' skills simultaneously, and are forced to make sacrifices. So for example, the Air Stomp ability is nice to have, but you are forced to make other heavy sacrifices in order to use it which I found to be annoying. The online is pretty enjoyable, but without dedicated servers, North American players will often be paired up with laggy Euro gamers which makes for a terrible session. Still, now that the game has been out for several years and can be found for cheap, I recommend everyone check it out.… Expand

    Crysis 2 transports you in the post-apocalyptic New Work, successfully immersing players into the city and entertaining them with fun gameplay. While the new environment may immerse you, the options are more limited here for approaching enemies. It provides a more linear gameplay than the first, which is a shame considering how much potential this game has.
    First, I'm going to tell you    Crysis 2 transports you in the post-apocalyptic New Work, successfully immersing players into the city and entertaining them with fun gameplay. While the new environment may immerse you, the options are more limited here for approaching enemies. It provides a more linear gameplay than the first, which is a shame considering how much potential this game has.
    First, I'm going to tell you how visually mind-blowing this game is. The environment looks stunning, even on consoles. It makes for a possibility of instant immersion. But, it isn't as impressive as the first game. Ironically, even though the graphics look amazing, in some parts they're worse than it's predecessor's fantastic visuals. But, it does impress on today's standards, so that's the important thing.
    The gameplay doesn't completely satisfy, for the fact that it's not quite improved when talking about freedom. That was quite of a disappointment, but the combat is quite improved at least. The guns feel powerful and the nanosuit is quite improved and simplified. Also, sneaking is way smoother and easier this time. These improvements raise the score immensely. The single-player needed more freedom, just that.
    The multiplayer is sometimes fun, but disappointing and sometimes even unoriginal. It's a blast to use the nanosuit in multiplayer, but when it's exaggerated power comes to multiplayer, it gets deeply frustrating. The reason why I relatively dislike the multiplayer is because players tend to overuse cloak: killing you by mostly using cloak without you even detecting the enemy, gets stressful. And, imagine, all the players on a single map cloaking. *sigh*
    Crysis 2 is an immensely fun single-player experience with a few disappointments, and a multiplayer chaos (in a bad way). (Final Score: 7.82)    … Expand

    this goes until about half of the game at wich point you're going to be upset of noticing how the big suspense could've just been telled right at the beginning.
    The gameplay is also ugly you're going to be presented with several "tactical options" such as "Explore", "Flank", "Escape", this options are presented through you by your binoculars it just makes everything feel extremely linear and just makes you think why could you just find this yourself they're not that hard and most of them not really have any sort of unique appeal to them, it would've been twenty times more rewarding to find this yourself than just have them presented to you in a silver platter.
    Plus the game can get really repetitive after a while, this caused by same model enemies, exact same stealth kill animation every time you try to be stealthy, is just not rewarding at all. At the end is 13 to 14 hours of this, it's just not worth your money or your time.    … Expand

    A disclaimer is that I had not played the original Crysis. The game does more for the FPS genre than it gets credit for. While the graphics are its known core competency, the gameplay, story, and replay-ability are its lesser known strengths.

    A disclaimer is that I had not played the original Crysis. The game does more for the FPS genre than it gets credit for. While the graphics are its known core competency, the gameplay, story, and replay-ability are its lesser known strengths.

    The game leaves you in large open areas, large narrow areas, small open areas, small narrow areas, some busy with obstacles and barriers, some devoid of any tactical items; the levels are plenty varied. The campaigns objectives felt like they added to the story and felt less 'busy work' like some of the campaigns do nowadays. No hitting switches, doing item X to get through a doors, little to no 'aww man bad luck…..this easy objective will take extra long now because freak accident X occurred". You are basically in a state-of-the-art nanosuit and it finally gives justification as to how you can dispel an entire army as a one man team, which most FPS have to suspend your disbelief. There are many ways to complete an objective; stealth, walking juggernaut, etc. The suit can even tell you different ways to complete a mission. The game does a great job of making you feel like you are thrown into a superhuman state in Manhattan.

    The story is pretty decent for a FPS; I may even say my favorite since the original Modern Warfare. There are plenty of twists and turns and the plot feels more like an elongated movie than a video game because of the campaign factors I had listed earlier.

    You can almost use the same guns the entire game. It gives you freedom to do what you want. There is a decent variety with ones that fuse current tech with future tech that make them look and feel like real guns in the not-so-distant future as well as some oldies but goodies if that's what tickles your fancy.

    While everyone will talk about its graphics, the AI is horribly inconsistent. They can see me through walls when I uncloak, be overly intelligent or overly dumb when cloaking and uncloaking. I also noticed a ton of AI bugs where the enemies are stuck or stuck in a routine causing them to spin a mile a minute.

    This game gave me the biggest "wow" factor I've had since I first played Combat Evolved, which is saying a lot. The vast pretty environments will tend to do that.    … Expand

    The graphics are indeed some of the best I've seen on console. PS3 multiplayer is somewhat slower and laggier than its Xbox counterpart, but ranking up and customizing your equipment is great fun nevertheless. The story was decent, as was the enemy AI, and was just hard enough to be satisfying. Cinematics and interactive cutscenes are also incredibly well-done. Looking forward to Crysis 3.

However, the multiplayer is in my opinion, a disaster. The graphics are still amazing and the nanosuit gameplay is cool but there are not enough maps, not enough weapons(something like 20 ) and most importantly, the weapons are completely unbalanced, I mean that out of 20 weapons there are 2 or 3 that are actually playable and if you don`t use these you are sure to get killed all the time (I`m not a noob by the way). For example, if you use the scarab you will need maybe 3 bullets without the armor mode activated but with the AY-69 you can empty a full clip on an ennemy without killing him ( I tried it more than once). Overall, Crysis 2 is not a bad game but it could have been a lot better if the multiplayer had been improved.… Expand

    This game showed good potential when i first played it because the graphics are outstanding. The online was also good because it required some skill but there is a down side to this game the story was confusing and the marker told me to go on to a building and jump. however that changed after i had backed out plus the men are overpowered it can take a hole round to kill one thing.

    I was very much looking forward to crysis 2, but sadly i was disapointed, the shooting just wasn't all that fun, the story made no sense, but the graphics are great. I much recommend picking up the first one, there two very different games, this one being more linear, and crysis 1 an open world game. There are just better games to spend with your money, stay away from this one.

The multi player feels the same and different at the same time from other shooters. It brings the powers you get from the campaign. (whoops i forgot to mention that you get three abilities: armor which allows you to become temporarily invincible, invisibility, and sprinting/sliding.) These features in multi player allow for a more strategic option in the matches instead of straight forward running and gunning. The weapons are perfectly balanced as well. You can earn dog tags for completing certain challenges in game (Such as getting one for having least deaths, highest kill streak or vice versa.) The multi player just has to much to talk about so I'll sum it up. It has depth, balance, and most importantly, overall fun. The game overall is spectacular. A definite buy, the only problem I had is the difficulty as some parts. (but that is just me).… Expand

    To compare this game to the likes of Killzone as far as graphics are concerned is a bold face lie. In all honesty this reminds me of a PS2 game, infact I would go as far as saying that Black on PS2 looked and played better.

Cloaking and stealth killing enemies is great fun and actually makes you think about how to go about your killing as your energy runs down. Alternatively, you can use the suit's power and armour to rip the MG from an APC and literally blast through your foes. The multiplayer is excellent and prolongs the life and value of the game. Not dissimilar to the COD series or indeed most modern shooters, you must earn XP and buy upgrades to your suit or weapons over time.

The original game was sandbox, allowing you to move and do missions however you choose. The weapons had more modification options, and the game generally had a more polished feel to it. Secondly, this game hardly feels like a sequal to Crysis 1, and (to me) felt almost like a betrayal to the first game. In the first game, the storyline really had me going, leaving on a cliffhanger, and in the second game the only similarities really are 3: 1(there is a nano suit that does cool things, but not as many cool things as in the original game), and 2(there is a dude named prophet), 3(there are aliens trying to kill us, never mind that these aliens are completely different from the aliens in the first game). And seriously, where the heck did this 'infection' thing come from. This game has nothing whatsoever to do with the first game, and makes a bare passing attempt at explaining the change in location from Crysis 1 (a beatiful island) to Crysis 2 (the city). The first game had a beatiful location, and the enemies (while not brillliant AI) still had a different feel to them. Maybe not the Koreans you were fighting, but at least the aliens had a kind of grace to them, showing up as almost advanced machines instead of the standard aliens that you have seen watered down a million times. The second game lost all of this feel and dropped back to the watered down city wasteland with the standard aliens you've fought a thousand times in Halo and Resistance. They even have AI that is similar to the aliens you fought in Ultimate Doom. The biggest things I would have liked to see different would have been seamless transitions like in the first game, more vehicle driving/combat like in the first game, and more versatility with combat options and weapon modifications. Soooo... Verdict. A good standalone game with a washed out storyline, but good combat nonetheless. A good attempt at FPS RPG with the upgrade modules, but overall a big step backwards from the first game.… Expand

Crysis 2 is an amazing and ambitious FPS bringing a much needed freshness to the genre. You are The Prophet mankinds last hope, well at least New York's in this game and the story stems from this. After being rescued you are given the responsibility of taking on the nano-suit and finding Professor Gould. However hot in pursuit are CELL operatives as well as Ceph forces in a destroyed New York City. The story does take a while to get going but when it does its engaging, rewarding and a funfest and full of twists and turns that you might not expect coming. But the thing that sets Crysis apart from all other FPS its the Nanosuit. A genius creation giving you the option of how you wish to approach each level. You can go invisible and take the stealth route, the armour mode allows you to take more damage and the tactical mode allows you to plan ahead and see your targets. Its addictive when you get in the thick of things and hugely gripping to see how it all ends, which I might add for me, leaves things set up perfectly poised for the next outing assuming ofcourse that there will be, which based on this seems inevitable! The one thing that Crysis has in abundace over its rivals is the ability to leave you in awe over the gorgeous graphics on offer as visually this is as good as it gets, its right up there with the very best. You will constantly find yourself blown away by the sight of a demolished New York City. Multiplayer is solid and enthralling. It runs smoothly and has plenty on offer. Like I said the nanosuit makes Crysis unique and online thats no different the balance used between the new nanosuit powers and all the basics needed for an online shooter is immense and ulitmately makes Crysis 2 hugely enjoyable and addictive as hell with simiilar perks and levelups that most FPS offer nowadays. Make no mistake, Crysis 2 is a seriously riveting and incredible game meaning that it is one of the must have titles on PS3. The all round package on offer is unmissable and has loads to offer to keep you engrossed, intrigued and occupied for months. Utterly essential!… Expand

    Audio: The audio seriously supports the game. Every explosion or gunshot sounds just right and immerses you into the game even more. On top of that, the soundtrack is very fitting, for example, in the beginning of the game, the music is sort of slow and light. As the campaign progresses (and gets more intense), the music seems to get faster paced.

    Gameplay: In case you don't know, Crysis 2 puts a nanosuit at your disposal. It allows you to slide, run faster, jump higher, become Rambo/invisible, and more. This adds some serious fun to the game, and separating it from the crowd of other CoD shooter clones. Of course there is your usual arsenal of SMGs, sniper rifles, etc.

The game has two or so "wow" moments but overall it feels like it missed something. Additionally, the online is nothing to look forward to. Does not introduce something fresh and the community is far too much naive and easy beat; rarely you'd encounter a good worthy lobby.

In all, I saw potential for this new entry into what was proposed to be the next epic franchise, but I'm in an overall disappointment at how linear, repetitive, and how the powerful presentation quickly died down in a matter of minutes.… Expand

Now don't get me wrong this game is good but in many ways i feel as if it has been vastly over-rated. When it comes to the gameplay at first it feels fresh and new but as you go on it starts to feel like any other FPS, some of Crysis unique elements do pick it up a bit but after a while i felt like it wasn't anything i hadn't seen before. When it comes to Multiplayer the game at times can become very annoying and at times can feel unbalanced, most of the maps are fairly maze like and at times you will find yourself wandering around just hunting people and not getting into the action. Overall this game is good and is worth a play but in my opinion it doesn't grip me as much as other FPS have in the past, if you are a person who doesn't play many FPS games then this may be a great game to start out with, the story is interesting (but can fall flat at times) and the overall structure is good.… Expand

Not that many brats a.k.a. 13 yr. olds and under play online. And no one really camps because you can do so much. But that doesn't even touch the main reasons why this game is so amazing. The music and intro alone will give you goosebumps. But anyways I am very VERY pleased. It's faster paced so if your used to Bad Company you might not like the controls. But in my OPINION I give this game a HUGE 10. Just might be my favorite FPS. Only one complaint and it's not even a complaint, sometimes you get lost in exploring which is something that doesn't happen with me on FPS's. But at the very least rent this game.

The story is really nothing to write home about, and only gets interesting towards the end. There are some interesting ideas thrown around, and its all beautifully presented, but it never manages to really get the player interested. There are also many strange graphical glitches and bugs that can sometimes force you to reload the the single player campaign entirely. It doesnt happen often, but it happens enough that you will notice. And finally, the multiplayer progression feels a little bit too dragged out, as it takes VERY long to level up and some of the later more interesting guns and game modes can only be unlocked at later levels. Despite all this, Crysis 2 is a crowning achievement in first person shooters. The gameplay is unique and tactical , forcing you to assess every situation and use the nanosuit's abilities in creative ways. It is one of the few games that truly makes you feel like a super solider with endless amounts of power. Stealth, Power, Speed, all these things factor into the gameplay and the sandbox level design allows you to use them however you please. The multiplayer, though it has glaring problems, is still a blast to play and the nanosuit abilities add a unique spin on the otherwise generic Call of Duty style set up. Crysis 2 is one of the best shooters to come out this generation, and if you are a fan of action games in general it would be silly to miss out on it… Expand

    The first Crytek game, Far Cry, was tremendously fun: it brought to the table a huge sandbox environment in which the player could really experiment with tactics to achieve objectives. There was also a masterful balance between wide open terrain, and underground corridor style gameplay - whenever one style started to get stale, the gameplay switched, keeping things interesting. Now comes Crysis 2, and gone are all the quirks and innovations that made Crytek stand-out. We have a standard boiler-plate console-style FPS with all the trappings. Endless, pointless cut-scenes that take you out of the moment, B-movie actors, tons of scripted moments that look great to the marketing execs but take the control away from the player and add nothing to gaming enjoyment, etc... The way the game industry has developed it seems like a group of managers with who fancy themselves as movie directors, produce an amateurish, B-movie story-line that is then rendered with the game engine and voiced by low-grade actors. The game developers are then tasked with generating some 'game-content' to tie the cut-scenes together. This results in an on-rails, predictable game where the player pushes the game forward usually by guiding the protagonist through beacons on a map to trigger the piecemeal cut-scenes. Boring... Guys, here's a tip - throw out the cut-scenes and get back to some basics. I mean one basic rule, in any game really, is to progressively throw harder and harder type enemies at the player. Why is it that throughout the game the fight is always the same against the same 2 or 3 types of alien? And why do the levels all look almost identical (the same NY street backdrop)? Even the earliest 8-bit games knew to have some kind of scenery progression to make the player strive to see what would come next. The single-player FPS experience is abysmal these days, I was hoping to see Crytek innovate again like they did with Far Cry, but no such luck. I guess there's too much money involved to take risks.    … Expand

    I have to say, addicting in all the right ways. I did feel as though there were times where I fired directly at an enemy and it had no effect. Dont know exactly how many times this occured but it was enough for me to notice it. Also if there are going to be aliens that are able to absorb that many bullets, please dont have me looking for ammo, I found it absurd that I was running around a lot of the time looking for ammo especially when I have the military right beside me. I did feel that enemies were able to see you much too easily, which made using stealth more of a hassle than an accomplishment. Implementing the nano suit was a great experience and having the freedom to choose to play the way you want, whether it be stealthy or right out guns a blazzing. I have had no framerate problems.

    I played for about 2 hours last night and it was real breath of fresh air. The environments are vibrant (though I like KillZone3's dark and dirty feel) and detailed. Each map is set in a war torn part of NYC and they vary from down town sky scrapers to roof top gardens and public parks, warehouses and shopping malls to derelict piers and boat yards.

    Each location provides plenty of opportunity to make the best use of the Nanosuit's abilities; whether that be stealthy sniping or hiding cloaked in a dark corner, and there are plenty of opportunities to leap across huge gaps and scale buildings in a single bound. In fact the way you configure your NanoSuit could infact change depending on the map. I think custom tweaking of this awesome technology will come, but for now I am content with some basics - in particular the hologram attachment.

    Simply point the gun where you want to go, activate the hologram and watch as he takes the path you were about to take. Often you will see the enemy break from cover so you can pick them off quickly as they rush into the open. Alternatively you will witness your other self hailed in bullets from on high - its not safe out there. Clever use of the hologram, the armor and cloaking modes of your NanoSuit will enable you to traverse the map without taking any damage.

    If this sounds too easy - well it isn't! There are going to 6 guys on the other team doing the same to you and for starters they will be better at it. Crysis 2 provides a recruit level mode where you will only be pitted against ranks 10 or lower, ensuring (in theory) that all will be on the same skill level.

After dying 5 times, I restarted at a lower difficulty, and I was finally able to get off the submarine. After playing the game for half an hour, I put it on pause to grab some food. When I came back and un-paused it, there was a constant machine gun audio, which only stopped several minutes later when I chose to die to see if that would fix it. Upon starting back up it became clear that the enemies could see me through walls when I wasn't using stealth. Other negative points include slow controller response, sub-par graphics compared with what I was expecting, horrible vehicle control, poor matching of NPC voice overs....Getting back to my main point....It just feels very glitchy and unrefined....especially when there was all of this hype for the last half year about how mind blowing this game was going to be.

Killzone 3 for me is no longer best looking game, crytek have seriously made a great step foward in the FPS genre with its visuals and settings. The gameplay is somewhat fresh , very unique when compared to modern FPS games. The movment feels smooth, the nanosuit is something which will bring much enjoyemnt for time to come. With options such as the ability to go into stealth and armour, both having their advantages and obvious flaws to balance out the MP. However other innovative abilities such as the jump and stomp can really give the player more freedom than just going around gunning. The weapons are so far exellent , having not unlocked all , so far so good. The single player is brilliant , great story and serious innovation, that other developers must really aknokweldge. The single player offers so much freedom , that no other FPS this genreation has come close to performing. I can literally choose the way i play the game , rather than running from a to b shooting everything that moves. It really puts to shame other shooter campagins. So for thos looking for a fresh single player experiance, this is probably the best you are going to get. And its a real winner. On the other hand you have the MP. which takes you away from just basic run and shoot , which you can do but risk getting killed. Its more skillful , patience is required and a lot of thinking. In a world of fps sdominated by run and gun . It suprisingly works. Give it some time and you have one of the best shooters available. The negative reviewrs see, to come from some PC fans, lol . Its made way onto console and has impressed me . However here are some issues which need clearing up. -First of all the MP , needs to be carefully analysed by Devs, it seems that in some cases accuracy has become an issue. Sometimes i find myslef shooting at someone who doesant die , not becasue they have armour on , it seems im doing no damage. -i have no issue with lag at the moment. -voice acting in the campaign is exellent. But on the MP the women is ok , but the dude sounds like an old man [most likely is ] , is like a grandad commentating on horse racing. other than that the game is a blast to play, highly reccomended to FPS genre fans. 9.5/10… Expand

    This game is nothing more than eye candy. It's like owning a Farrari with a 200 HP engine. The story is decent but it lacks variety in the enemies that you face. Although Killzone 3 was shorter, I think it's the better of the two games.

    Crysis 2 may not live up to every expectation, but its pleasant surprises make up for most of its shortcomings.

    The game is fun though. It does get repetitive, and it does feel like a corridor at times, but the desire to see all of New York City, destroyed and lying in ruin, is what will drive you forward. Towards the end of the game it does overstay its welcome, and you'll be wishing you could just walk through the levels with no enemies in sight, detracting from the wonderful visuals. With all that said, the suit powers are enjoyable the first few times and any fan of shooters will have a good time in the game's dystopian New York City.

    Don't make the mistake of viewing Crysis 2 as a new shooter on the block that has to desperately prove itself to all the established PS3 heavy-hitters. In many ways it's actually the other way around. [May 2011, p.69]
