Recently completed Crysis 2 and I have to say it was quite amazing most of the time and frustrating during other times, I will give you a short list of pros and cons to do with Crysis 2.
Pros:
- Graphics - Probably the best I've seen, especially the lighting, detail of the maps and water.
- Variety of weapons - There is quite a few more weapons for you to use compared to the previous Crysis
- Story - One of the biggest let downs in the previous Crysis was it's story, I thought Crysis 2's story was well thought out.
- Customization - The ability to upgrade your suit to what best fits you is a great idea and it's all done in realtime.
- Gameplay - There's a real sense of freedom and you can approach any scenario and work out what you think will work best, stealthily or run in guns blazin' or you can use tactical advisor to help you choose.
- Graphics settings - Unlike the 1st Crysis where you had many different options for graphics, in Crysis 2 you get high, very high or extreme, that's it. Not even a setting for AA. Luckily, someone has made a program so you can tweak these individual settings here http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=33008
- Glitches - Every game has them and so does this one. 1st one I cam across was multiplayer, you log in, type the CD key and it says it's already in use. Seems like a lot of people have this same problem and the way to fix it is to login, go back to singleplayer and login again, worked for me. Another glitch I found cause me to crash where I brought the stealth enhance upgrade while cloaked.
- Physics - Don't get me wrong, physics in Crysis 2 are pretty amazing most of the time but sometimes you get real odd physics glitches, especially with ragdolls where they'll just freeze in mid-air or when they get stuck in something.
- Bloom! - Lot's of it and it can get really bright, not a bad problem but it can get extremely bright in some case.
My rating: 9/10
That's about it and overall Crysis 2 is a very good FPS which everyone should have a go at.
