Pros: The game just looks amazing. This is defiantly a new direction CRYTEK is moving in with the look and feel of this game!!!

Cons: It is a 'MUST'; you need a good system to run this game'...............

CRYSIS 2 is really a new direction that 'CRYTEK' is moving in with the look & feel of this game. The motion of the shooter is so fluid you feel like your actually walking or running. As I stated in the 'CONS' of this game; which really isn't a CON. You 'NEED' a good running system to have this game play well.. That sure isn't anything new to anyone that has played the Crysis series.

The Single-player campaign is very exciting once you get the feel of the controls. The visuals of this game I just can't stop talking about for the fact they are just so beautiful. The multi-player is just as good. Several game types to choose but were do you find most people playing in; YUP, "TDM"..(TeamDeath Match).. Again, the visuals of the this game are just 'Mind-Blowing'.... If your a 'CRYSIS' fan... It is a must buy!!!!thumb.gif

There are 2 downloads for this game. 1# is DirectX 11 Ultra. (Need a V-card with active DX-11) and 2#
download is a 'High Res Textures' up-grade. (Need to run on Windows 64bit OS & your V-card must have 1 gig of memory or more for game to play in 'High Res') Downloads Found Here: http://secure.mycrysis.com/dx11
(NOTE: It's a must for '1' gig of memory on V-card... 2 gig mem card just flows or if your in 'SLI' or 'CrossFire'<<(what I'm on) with 2 GIGABYTE GV-R6850C-1g-DDR5 memory.

If you buy this game you need to register at http://www.mycrysis.com to create your Log-In 'I.D' for multi-player. More Tech questions can be answered at http://secure.mycrysis.com/support/

Pros: Fantastic Graphics, amazing soundtrack, good story, MP is fun

Cons: not as open as previous installement, bad support from Crytek

It's very great game, that's very underrated.

The Good:
- graphics are top notch, and a definite step from stock Crysis 1. The textures, lighting and tessellation are very impressive.
- soundtrack is great; I usually don't praise game soundtracks, but Hans Zimmer did a truly great job here
- SP story is captivating, and lengthy enough, although admittedly, it does begin slowly and later picks up a fast pace
- MP is fun, although it feels like a mix of COD and Halo;
- Great gameplay; the many weapons, perks and armor modes allow for a various tactics, which can result in nearly endless hours of MP

The Bad:
- The game is not as open as Crysis and Warhead, and this is natural since it takes place in a city and not a jungle.
- Crytek did not support the game properly, there have been no updates in the last several months, and the MP is currently plagued by bots.

Pros: Fun story mode,great graphics with/without patches

Cons: multiplayer is too fast paced, not alot of weapons, no tactics

I really think this is a fun game (story) but when it comes to multiplayer it becomes more of COD, its very fast paced, not a large selection of weapons, would you recommend the game to others? only if its on sale.
Crysis 2 (PC)
Description:

Crysis 2 is the sequel to one of the greatest PC first-person shooters yet created.

Story The world has been ravaged by a series of climatic disasters and society is on the verge of total breakdown. Now the aliens have returned, with a full invasion force bent on nothing less than the total annihilation of mankind, starting by trying to rip the heart out of Earth's most iconic city. In New York, terrifying alien invaders stalk the streets and a nightmare plague strikes down the city's myriad inhabitants with brutal epidemic speed. The city's systems are in chaos, its streets and skyline are smashed and in flaming ruin. This is New York City like you've never seen it before. Neither paramilitary law enforcement nor the might of the US military machine can stand against the invaders, and all who choose not to flee are dead men walking. Just to survive in this maelstrom of death will require technology beyond anything any modern soldier has ever seen. Yet one man will inherit that means to survive. One supersoldier, wielding the combat enhancement technology of the future with Nanosuit 2, will make the last stand to save humanity from destruction in the urban jungle that is New York City.
