    Step into the robotic suit of a bionic ninja in this FPS that's a well judged blend of stealth and mayhem. There's nothing particularly new or original on offer here, but it's very nicely done.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Loved it! Crysis 2 is my favorite game of the series. It has it all from stealth to guns blazing. Stealth by far is the best approach and this is why I love the game. Crysis 2 is the best of the 3 games in series and at the time the visuals were unmatched.

    Crysis 2 is a fast paced future FPS that stands out in many aspects. The graphics are convincing, the sound is forcefully and the gameplay is godlike! Easily one of the best shooters released in 2011. And it is still a recommendation!

Dans saL'ayant fini récemment sur PC, je lance la version 360, histoire de voir un peu comment l'un des plus beaux jeux multi-plateformes se comporte... et presque 10 heures plus tard, emporté par le rythme, c'est (déjà) la fin ! Non pas que cette durée de vie soit trop courte : un jeu d'action de cet acabit ne doit surtout pas être trop long sous peine d'entraîner une lassitude certaine. Dans sa catégorie, Crysis 2 est l'un des plus longs mais sans aucune longueur.

    Presque aussi beau que sur PC, Crysis 2 le magnifique est à peine moins magnifique sur 360 et je ne pense pas qu'on pouvait faire mieux, vu l'âge de la console. Uncharted 3 sur PS3 reste plus impressionnant par ses graphismes évidemment mais Crysis 2 n'est vraiment pas loin. Le prix à payer (car il y en a un...) est une fluidité très correcte laquelle en quelques endroits se laisse aller à une certaine fatigue mais rien de rédhibitoire.

    Crysis 2 s'inspire sensiblement d'un Call of Duty ou d'un Halo mais pour en reprendre les meilleurs éléments et les accommoder à sa façon et c'est là que la nanocombinaison entre en scène : on peut alterner à sa guise entre deux approches très différentes : bourrine ou furtive et les niveaux assez vastes (pour un jeu hollywoodien de ce genre) réservent quelques options tactiques supplémentaires. Rien à voir avec un monde réellement ouvert donc mais des possibilités intéressantes.

    Les combats sont furieux et spectaculaires, épiques parfois, la mise en scène en met plein les yeux, le son est particulièrement soigné (comme la VF d'ailleurs) de même que la musique. C'est très maniable et bien pensé avec finalement assez peu de scripts. L'histoire se signale par sa nullité, elle a du être gribouillée sur un coin de table au restaurant par des convives qui venaient de rouler sous la table. Quelques bugs (coupures de dialogues au début d'un niveau parfois, lA qui se fait péter la gueule sur sa grenade et qui a du mal à trouver son chemin) mais globalement c'est du beau et du bon travail.    … Expand

It does feel more linear than the first Crysis, but it does have its fair share of large environments. The Nanosuit powers and large environments add strategy to the combat. The checkpoint system is really bad. And there are a couple bugs and glitches but I doubt it was easy trying to bring a like this on 7 year old console hardware.

The first major trouble is the story, now dont get me wrong I love rich and diverse, well written stories but Crysis 2's story just went waaaaay over my head. After replaying it several times I still do not understand it and after reading wiki's, watching videos and asking people I know about it I still cannot fathom it. The general gist is that it is 3 years since the original Crysis game, New York has been attacked by a plague known as the Manhattan Virus and the US government has contracted C.E.L.L to look after the place whilst a cure is found. However after Prophet contracts the virus he saves a dying marine named Alcatraz and gives him the Nanosuit before killing himself. Alcatraz must complete the mission Prophet set out to do before he dies which involves destroying the Ceph that live underneath Central Park and are the source of the Manhattan Virus. Crysis 2 is visually mind boggling, even on consoles. The game looks amazing during the day but at night it looks a little worse for wear with the bland colour palette really showing and looking rather ugly. It also brings back a slightly stripped down version of the same gameplay used in Crysis 1, you lose a couple of suit powers but its nothing major and you still feel like you are wearing a Nanosuit.
    Crysis 2 is not as good as Crysis 1 but it is still a fantastic game and one that any FPS player should experience, even if you cant afford the supercomputer needed to run it on the superior PC version of the game.    … Expand

Felt the campaign was just long enough to always hold my attention and not make me hope the end is soon. The problems are in my opinion the Geth which are just not as fun to fight as soilders, and taking about the big walker units is just annoying on the hardest difficulty. Multiplayer is perfectly serviceable but failed to hold my attention like COD4 or COD:MW2 which I previously played extensively.

    But it's New York, so i easily forgive Crytek on that one. The Singleplayer features a campaign that will take you about 11-13 hours to complete and it features New York's most iconic and coolest locations. Fighting off enemies in for example Lower Manhattan, Grand Central station and Times Square gives a satisfying feeling and it actually gives me the urge to instantly hop on a plane and go there.
    The story is OK but it lacks a bit of character development, a flaw that i found in almost every Crytek game to date. If you can live with this though, you will have a great time with this game, the nanosuit is without a doubt one of the coolest pieces of armor i have ever encountered in a shooter game, allowing you to switch quickly from cloak to armor mode with speed and strength mode being assigned automatically when you need them. This to me is a vast improvement over the control system in the previous installments of Crysis which speeds up the gameplay substantially. Having the nanosuit gives you multiple options to engage the enemy, making the singleplayer a fun experience where no situation is exactly the same.
    The AI could be better with enemies walking into walls from time to time but this happens rarely and it does not ruin the experience by any measure. The graphics is where this game truly stands apart from the crowd though. I was very surprised that Crytek was able to squeeze enough juice out the Xbox to produce graphics as pretty as this. I still think it is the best looking console game to date, with Battlefield 3 and Far Cry 3 as close contenders.
    Multiplayer is fun but i was slightly disappointed to find out it was infantry only gameplay, being a Crysis Wars player on PC i was hoping for some airplane and vehicle gameplay.
    Multiplayer also features killstreaks with a twist, when you kill a player you have to pick up his dog tag to build up your killstreak, which mostly takes care of the camping issue that comes along with giving players rewards for getting consecutive kills. The killstreaks do not overwhelm the gun on gun gameplay though. Multiplayer also feautures with all it's functions, allowing you to tweak different functions to suit your needs. While it is not addictive like CoD or Battlefield, it is fun to play an hour or two nonetheless.
    All in all, this game is worth every dollar/euro/pound you spend on it, which probably won't be much since you can find it in most discount bins nowadays.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never played the original crysis. I played this for 360 and it left me with mixed feelings, however most of these were positive. First there is the amazing graphic which really blow other games out of the water, Then there is the story which is interesting and creates a realistic sense of urgency for the situation at hand. Unfortunately the start of the tale is fairly stale with blandish characters and situations however they really pick up and the story starts and interesting roller-coaster in the last third as you start to realize the real scale of things. Then it stops, the last boss battle is anticlimactic to say the least (consists of several elite units) and the ending begs for the sequel on the horizon next year. The multiplayer is good but too me not overly amazing, its perfectly fun but I'd rather play the campaign than the the multiplayer in most occasions. Overall a great game without the need to play the first, with a campaign which includes a slow start that gives way to fun missions and an increasingly exciting story which ends too quickly with perfectly serviceable multiplayer , a good buy for the interesting sci fi setting and prelude to the sure to be amazing sequel.… Expand

    Taking control of the ultimate soldier has never been more entertaining. The gameplay and controls of Crysis 2 are outstanding and rate among the best in the genre. Graphics and sound are incredible, the post-apocalyptic atmosphere hasn't been this good since Fallout 3. The unique Crysis 2 is much more than a typical shooter.

    Swapping a picture-perfect landscape for New York's urban sprawl could have been disastrous, but Crytek has found variety in the setting, guiding the player through blue-grey skyscrapers, leafy green parks, rooftops at sunset and industrial harbours. [May 2011, p.90]
