Alcatraz, Destiny's A Bitch
Crisis 2 Is a game where you play as a man, who cannot scream, who constantly has has to take order from people or the maximum suit.
The thing that makes me go back to this game again and again, is the music because it's great and feel like good summer movie action score.
The acting is just hamining it up enough, to feel like it's stupid fun action movie.
It's also has the feeling of progress in every level, you know what you're doing and in every loading screen between level, you see on a map where you are, so you always know, okay I'm going for this objective now.
Those two are the biggest elements that makes the game stand out in my memory. The greatest summer Blockbuster feeling, like a good Michael Bay movie.
The graphics looks great to this day, sadly I cannot say the same for the enemy AI, they do not feel threatening, They are just a little too stupid, when fighting, and because of Stealth being so over powered, you can basically you just go to the exit in some levels, Which i respect, but does awaken the question, What am I doing here.
The combat is satisfying enough and has some good sounds, when you kill an enemy , and the Gun look big and threatening with good sounds.
It does have one of half-life original sins going on, where people are talking to the main character, but nothing comes out and it never stops being irritating, but that is the choice, the developer made.
It's a dumb summer Blockbuster. Sometimes that's all I need.

Crisis 2 in the video game industry
After installing Crysis 2 I normally go to the settings graphics, where I waited two surprises.
Surprise number one - the graphics settings: 1. good graphics 2 . maximum graphics 3 . extreme graphics 4 . burn computer
Surprise number 2 - the graphics settings can not be adjusted. "Setup 3D" is present, but it is not active. I regarded it as "Fuff! We have two years of this schedule sculptured. Come and check it out. "
Very reluctant to kill people, while we fought with aliens. Me tried to use, and I saw on their insolent persons they will use me and throw out. But the story did not give options, and the main character posed as Gordon Freeman, simultaneously collecting other people's badges and reading correspondence of Aunt Tara with Uncle Hardgriv. I trusted the one person who one third of the game led me through enemy ambushes.
Developers have tried to steal, oh, take something of the best games of the genre. From HALO took indication suit and the concept of monsters. From Half-Life 2 took alien turret and urban destruction. True invisibility in full (including FPS) - their innovation. Also in the scene is used to receive, "Go do it, otherwise you will not pass". For example, at the end of the game, in the spore generator gate will not open until you kill monsters in front of them. Had to cut all .
Separately say about glitches. Can look in the internet - door is closed, the character freezes, the NPC does not do what they should. Usually helps to restart the level, but not always.
Along with other fashion features done in Crysis 2 added delayed cursor. Percentage of not the strongest in the world of computers among gamers represent? So all of them due to lack of power this feature is enhanced. Buffeting the cursor so strong, that you can forget of fast mouse action.
Toward the middle of the game know that the suit is not so cool. No matter how hard you try, you still going several times on the verge of death. In general, "The suit helps those who help themselves".
Corridor path of game 7 out of 10. In the first part of the sandbox were bigger.
So, what we have: Acceptable schedule (yes, I saw this game on the highest setting) and resource consumption at the level of program for performance testing. Head of Crytek Cevat Yerli "Graphics, whether it's lighting or shadows, puts you in a different emotional context and drives the immersion, and immersion is effectively the number one thing we can use to help you buy into the world." Ie we must immerse themselves in the atmosphere of delusional story, uncalled nary interest, and look at the downtrodden memory space through raw HDR.
From the pros: 1. I stopped several times to admire Manhattan. 2. intelligent monsters. Pursue the enemy, and not leave their comrades in trouble. 3. opportunity to progress through the game in stealth mode.

Visually Stunning
Having never played the first "Crysis," I went into "Crysis 2" without any preconceived notions, but I was familiar with its basic premise. After reading various reviews, I decided to jump into the fray, and I'm glad I did. Set in a war-torn New York City in 2023, the game weaves an intriguing narrative as you assume the role of Alcatraz, a soldier embodying a powerful nanosuit while combating an alien infestation.
The gameplay is predominantly a first-person shooter, which feels both familiar and refreshing. While the campaign has a linear design, there's enough exploration to make searching for collectibles and trinkets worthwhile. I'd describe it as a blend between "Call of Duty" and "Half-Life 2"; there's a strong focus on action and narrative, albeit sans the gravity gun. The nanosuit's different abilities enhance the experience significantly-using stealth, rushing at enemies, or creating a temporary shield can lead to some genuinely exhilarating moments. The enemies range from military soldiers to sci-fi aliens with impressive vehicles, reminiscent of "War of the Worlds," which adds a unique flair to the typical firefight.
Level design is solid, with various environments that keep the gameplay feeling fresh. While it may not reach the legendary heights of franchise campaigns like "Halo," it certainly does its job in holding your interest throughout.
Now, let's talk about the graphics. "Crysis 2" is over a decade old, yet it still boasts some of the best visuals in the gaming world, thanks to Crytek's powerful graphics engine. It makes the environment come to life, showcasing incredible details in the scenery and weaponry. You can't help but admire the vibrant colors and realistic textures that enhance immersion.
Soundwise, the game excels. The gun sound effects are on point, setting a gold standard for how firearms should sound in any first-person shooter. You'll feel every shot fired, which adds to the thrill of combat. Not to mention, the score is composed by none other than Hans Zimmer, elevating the game's cinematic quality to new heights.
However, "Crysis 2" does have its drawbacks. While it's a strong title, it struggles to completely match the level design and gameplay loop of its competitors. The narrative, while engaging enough, didn't fully resonate with me since my lack of background from the first game left me a bit disconnected from the story and characters. Alcatraz's journey, while exciting, could have used more depth to make it truly memorable.
The weapon system is another area where I found some frustration. There are numerous versions of the same gun, which can be overwhelming and make it challenging to determine the best option for various situations. While more choice can be good in theory, it feels a bit cluttered in practice.
Overall, "Crysis 2" is a strong 8/10-its gorgeous graphics, solid gameplay, and memorable sound effects create an enjoyable experience. I'm excited to see what "Crysis 4" has in store and whether it can build on the strengths of its predecessors. If you're looking for a compelling shooter to dive into, this one should be on your radar.

CRYSIS 2: Best Alien Invasion FPS Game
CRYSIS 2 (2011) is a thrilling sequel to the amazing first game, however this game was the first one of the series that I actually played. This game was an incredible experience, amazing graphics, intense and thrilling story. Playing the game in the Crysis nano exo suit makes for an awesome gameplay.
While an alien invasion in New York City isn't a new concept, the game mechanics and style made it an incredibly thrilling experience and not your everyday invasion story.
"Set 3 years after the original game. Fight the aliens, following the protagonist in a new type of jungle; New York, the urban jungle."
Crysis 2 is one of the best FPS around, with some of the best game graphics to boot. This game was a super exciting and memorable experience. An excellent game. Play this if you enjoy FPS games or hyper realistic sci-fi games about alien invasions.

Video game of the year when it was released
To me Crysis 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. The storyline is a 10/10, the music is a 10/10 (I believe it won best storyline and music for a video game of the year). The main song is in fact on my music playlist as I am addicted to it - as are thousands of other fans. I only wish that you could run around the map a little bit more (it's not an open world style), it's just too specific for me. The graphics are a 10/10 just like all other Crytek games. I thoroughly enjoyed it and actually like it better than Crysis 1. It's a must play in my mind. The storyline however is quite short so don't expect to play for weeks. If your going to play it then go for PC version, it's not as resource heavy as the first Crysis and will run easily on most modern computers. So yeah...Enjoy!
Did you know
- TriviaThe name of the seventh mission "Dead Man Walking" means that the character you play as (Alcatraz) is technically a walking corpse throughout the campaign.
- GoofsWhen the nano-suit shows Mr. Gould a video of the suit memory, it does so in third person. It should be doing so in first person.
