I say this as a huge fan of the original Crysis and Crysis Warhead, which were two of my favorite games. In fact, I just played them both over the weekend on Delta difficulty in preparation for Crysis 2. Despite selling over three million units of the original Crysis on PC, Crysis 2 was clearly developed for consoles first and PC second. This review assumes that you played and enjoyed the original Crysis, and may not be as useful to someone unfamiliar with the series. The review system here includes two GTX 480 in SLI, a i7 920 @ 4.1 ghz, and a 2560x1600 monitor. ***GRAPHICS*** The graphics were one of the main strengths of the original game, and Crysis 2 has turned them into a weakness. There are NO configuration options, just preset settings, and you can only choose from "High," "Very High," and "Extreme." Unfortunately, Extreme looks...

While the game is not worse than most other available first person shooter games, it has lost most of the appeal that original Crysis series have, namely: 1. NO EDITOR INCLUDED! and apparently the company has no plans to release one - that means that most of the replay value for the game is lost. Forget about downloadable levels, forget about custom terrains, forget about all the fun and tweaking you could do with the editor. Once you go over couple of hours worth of run-of-the-mill game-play and saturate yourself with run-of-the-mill multiplayer, you are done. Is it worth $60.00? NO WAY! 2. All open environment of Crysis 2 is gone - you play just another fancy corridor shooter with most actions scripted and unchangeable and all your movement restricted by closed doors, road blocks, fences and such. The fact that the stage for the game is Manhattan makes no excuse - many other games, notably Prototype that take place in precisely the...

All hemmed in like Darksiders, no more free roaming, no more Gamesaves anywhere, it is now a console game by EA. Edit: My beef is not on the graphics but the gameplay. What is wrong with 'Consolitis'? The linearity. This game now runs on Rails. You might as well rename it Time-Crysis. Shoot off-screen or aim to screen-edges to reload. What next EA? Insert quarters for time extensions? There are also convenient Ammo Dumps for you. Gone are when the Artificial Intelligence has enemies ganging up to flush you out. Their grenade tosses? LOL. Every obstacle shielding you is blast-proof. They have watered down the A-Grade Crysis, peeled off the brand and slapped it on another bottle. An inferior product. |
