    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.

    Nos encontramos ante un shooter militar que nos lleva a la ciudad de Nueva York tras una pandemia. Cómo en el primer juego, contamos con el traje que nos otorga variedad para afrontar las situaciones según como nos plazca.
    El gameplay es lo que se espera de un shooter moderno, existe variedad de armas, enemigos y cuenta con mapas semiabiertos donde todo se combina ofreciendo una gran experiencia. A nivel de historia nos encontraríamos con una narrativa similar a películas de Michael Bay, que no es sorprendente pero puede gustarte. El punto más destacable son los gráficos y las físicas del juego. Una gran sorpresa ha sido la banda sonora, que a pesar de estar muy limitada al género del juego, ha sabido compenetrarse de manera excelente.
    A nivel personal, he disfrutado mucho recorriendo las calles de Manhattan, el juego cuenta con un hermoso diseño de arte. Lo malo es que al final es un shooter y está limitado a sus propias mecánicas, ir avanzando y despejando zonas mientras avanzamos en la trama.

    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.

    You play as a soldier who gets mangled pretty early on and stuffed into a super suit in order to do...something, for....some reason to a dickish military leader.

    That wasn't to avoid spoilers, I really have no idea what was happening most of the time. You just go in and shoot enemies while people yell at you through an ear piece. It felt like a real Call of Duty rip-off.

    The only unique thing about this game is the suit powers, which sound great-but don't work very well in practice. Every power uses the same energy pool and even with the upgrades that drains pretty quickly. So you're usually better off cloaking through a group of enemies and then hiding for a minute to recharge before repeating. Not that fun.

    The shooting also felt a bit off, probably because most of the guns seem to do very little damage.

    It continues the trend from Crysis 1, which I always forget that I didn't enjoy. The graphics were so lauded at the time that no one mentions the fact that there are far better shooting games from that time period and definitely since then.

    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!

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.

    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

There were a few boring missions where this ability played a huge role making me extremely frustrated towards the end of the game. I will however give the game 2 points for exciting action scenes and excellent alien AI, which made for some interesting battles. Its a shame such a wonderful premise as failed to capture gamers in which could of been a game of the generation. Crysis 2 has turned into a play once never to see again game. I would only recommend a rent at best. 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.

    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]
