Not a huge fan of Origin but they're giving away this game cheap considering it's 40 dollars everywhere else. I know the game has mixed reviews but I figured it's worth picking up at that price considering I've never played the second one.

If it were steam I would probably actually buy this. Maybe next time...

I got this game awhile back for the same price. I remember someone saying it'd be better to spend your money on lunch. They were right.

I got it on sale during the Christms holidays. Pretty good game, but didn't really live up to the expectations since Crysis 1 was so awesome. But still worth a playthrough.

It gets 100x better in the second half. I was honestly bored with the beginning, but after the half way point it got really, really good. I'd say go for it for $12.

I didn't like it that much at launch, yet I still find myself playing it. The level design is really great - smaller sandboxes full of options... I love it. The awful story, cutscenes and forced scripted events are what ruin the game. The DX11 patch is incredible.

I'm replaying it right now, just finished the fifth level, and I might pick up Crysis 3 at launch...

After playing it for a bit I understand while people were mad about this one. It's pretty decent but it doesn't have the wow factor that Crysis 1 had. The graphics look like a smoothed out console port which is fine but also underwhelming. So far still fun though and I'm not arguing with the price.

There were some pretty epic WOW moments for me (the central park part for example).

The graphics don't look like a console port at all once you get the official DX11 patch and the official HD texture pack. The game looks better than the first and it is one of, if not the best looking game out right now.

Why would you buy it twice? You could say that for any game.

Why would you buy it twice? You could say that for any game.

I bought Minecraft 4 times, once for me, once for a friend, for the missis and the ipad version. It was worth the price every time. I also baught 3 copies of Guild Wars 2 for me and a couple of friends, and same for a few other games last year.

Many people do buy games twice, weather it be for multiple systems, a gift for someone else. The reason doesnt matter, its still $12 more than I would pay if I had to buy it again.

I think I've been spoiled recently becasue I've also been playing The Witcher 2 maxed out as well.

It felt somehow a step back from crysis 1. The first levels are really boring and full of videogames cliches. The story goes nowhere and the character models look worse than in previous game. Graphics use more advanced technology, but it doesn't look as impressive. It just doesn't feel like Crysis... it's like, apart from the suit (which actually is not all that gameplay changing this time around, given the linearity of the game), it could have any other name than Crysis 2.

wow - for once the UK actually gets better pricing - the sale is a "games for under £5" deal, which works out something around $8

My brother loved the first one and was very disappointed with Cyrsis 2, as it seems many people were. Doesn't inspire confidence in the game for me.

If I were you I would wait till tomorrow. For what I gather tomorrow Amazon will sell Crysis Pack (1, Warhead and 2) for $18.00. $13, if you have the $5 coupon.

Origin actually had Crysis and Crysis 2 on sale for $5 earlier. It wasn't the maximum edition but the maximum edition for Crysis 2 is useless anyways.

I think it doesn't look as impressive because it's a city environment that we see all the time. Also, I can't stand when people knock Crysis 2 for being linear. Crysis was linear as hell too. You couldn't always go off the beaten path and when you could there was nothing out there to make it worthwhile. People over-exaggerate how open world Crysis really is.

Crysis 2 definitely offers more options in combat. I recently discovered the joy of kicking cars off bridges or garages on top of the enemy.

The city environment is incredible too. It's like being in the middle of a Roland Emmerich flick.

Lot of gamers will probably hate me on this but I truly enjoyed Crysis 2 alot more than Crysis 1.

It wasnt Crysis 1 but it was a very solid game. A lot better than most FPS's these days.
