    I had a lot of fun when I played Crysis 2. There were a couple nagging issues, but overall it was a memorable experience. There's no doubt Crysis 2 is a beautiful game. This is the best looking game of this generation. The lighting effects are amazing. Enemy A.I. is smart and firefights are fun and challenging. The campaign takes about 9-10 to beat.

The campaign takes about 9-10 to beat. The story is slow to start out and can be difficult to follow but things really pull together in the end and I was left satisfied by the end. 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. It was a really great game and I loved every minute of it.… Expand

    Crysis 2 boasts great graphics and addicting gameplay, but suffers from a terribly linear and forgettable story. The aliens aren't memorable like the Covenant or the Reapers, they just felt like targets you had to shoot at. The story was pretty forgettable and Alcatraz is not a hero I will remember long after I finish this game.

    Crysis 2 is a very solid first-person shooter.

    The gameplay is solid with the Nanosuit mechanics stealing the show,allowing you to go invisible or become invulnerable for short periods of time.The gunplay is also solid,and the AI is smart. The graphics are unbelievable,pushing the 360 to it's limits.The framerate here is also solid. The sound design is decent,but the soundtrack    Crysis 2 is a very solid first-person shooter.

    Crysis 2 is personally for me the best part in the series. Yes 2 part moved away from the canons of the first part, but I have the gameplay of a linear corridor shooter closer than a sandbox, in which almost nothing works except partial destruction.

    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!

    I was really attracted by the excellent graphics and somewhat without technical problems, no frame drop, a unique game with a relatively good story

    _лучшее что происходило с игровой серией Crysis, считаю вторую часть золотой серединой, от начала до самого окончания захватывает, как сюжетом так и игровым процессом. Редкий случай, где недостатки "рельсовых" шутеров, преобразуются в достоинства боевика

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Crysis 2 is more than a cranked out first person shooter. It takes the time to enhance an already interesting Sci-fi game while tightening and tuning the elements that set it apart from the pack. Oh, and did I mention it's gorgeous to look at?

    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]
