After hearing what some people say about Crysis 2 I am debating about playing it or not but I am very glad I didn't listen to some of thos epeople. Crysis 2 is a great shooter with a nice twist on it. It's not your typical first person shooter because you just can't focus on killing, you got to focus on maintaining your suit as well so you can dominate on the battlefield. The online is fun as hell as well. So I am giving Crysis a very strong recommendation and strongly disagree with some reviews I've read on it.

Do those that plaed Crysis 2 agree with me?

Sorry, I don't agree, you said it on your post "you just can't focus on killing", for me is, no killing no fun end of the story. Should try MGS4 if you liked this so much, I HATE that game BTW

Good game, but I call waste on potential on this one. For starters it's way too easy: you can just activate cloak and walk past 90% of the enemies, even on Supersoldier difficulty. The story is boring and confusing and fails to keep you interested, it lacks focus and a proper conclusion. Boss fights are copy-paste and tedious and only a few weapons are truly useful. Enemy AI ranges from dumb (enemies standing around while you headshot their friends) to superhuman (enemies spotting you despite the cloak) with little middle ground. Also, when you replay the game on the hardest setting you keep all suit powerups, making the game even easier to breeze through. Graphics are impressive, although objects and texture popup is a big issue. I still liked the campaign well enough though, it's excessively linear and does absolutely nothing new but it's an adequate shooter with a decent pacing and a good arsenal of highly customizable weapons. Multiplayer is a laggy mess featuring invisible campers. Enough said. Then again, I bought this for the campaign.

I started it at the same time as Dragon Age, and I got hooked on that. So instead of playing Crysis, I have played DA and DA ll. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot once I play through Dragon Age ll though.

Laggy online? I played probably around 25-30 matches so far and 98 percent of them ran as smooth as possible so I am not to sure what you mean by "laggy mylitplayer". Could just be your connection

The campaign was what I bought the game for and it didn't disappoint. I understand that ultimately the game is a little flawed (story, A.I., difficulty) but it was engaging the whole way through and long too.

Ya I really enjoy Crysis 2. The suit puts a nice little twist on the multiplayer. The story was not absolutely amazing, but the campaign as a whole was fun. It is nice that you can play it really stealthy, all out guns blazing, or a hybrid of those two.

It's pretty good,graphics are excellent, but as others have said too easy,and linear unlike the PC original.

And how many times does New York have to be in a game,I'm sick of seeing the place.

Good game, it's about on par with Warhead, though the first game stands as the pinnacle of the series.

i dont really like it because for me all the suit powers do is make the game more frustrating. I can see y other people would like it tho, and the maps and campaign are all very good

This It is a very challenging game. While you can cloak past some areas of enemies, often they will detect you somehow and start firing at you, so that's not a completely realistic way of going through the entire campaign.

All my friends and a lot of people I've seen on youtube have the same issue with it: our bullets don't hit the target, while other people kill you in two shots. Add maximum armor to the mix and some people are virtually unkillable, even if you get the drop on them. It's a pity, cause controls are sharp and there's a good amount of customization, but I just can't play it. Good to hear you're having fun with it, though, maybe their servers just hate us europeans lol
