    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.

    MAXIMUM shooter!

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    What a shooter! I love FPS, that's my favorite genre. I played a LOTE of FPS, and I can tell you people - this is the BEST looking game - period. The graphics are simply AMAZING. This new game engine Cry engine 3 has a lot of potential. I finished this game for 2 times and finishing it on the hardest mode right now. Great sound effects and just wish that my monitor could have 3D - now that would be something. Great voice acting. So overall, play Crysis 2 - You REALLY won't be disappointed.

    Two BIG thumbs UP!!!

    Not a bad game by any stretch, very pretty and quiet playable but nothing new

    The story is a mess and I never really felt engaged with it during the game, most of the mission are: get to this checkpoint, flick this switch, etc so nothing new.

    Each map section offers a number of possible ways to complete it, I mostly assassinated, silenced headshot and sniped until I was discovered (usually due to an assassination failing for no reason) and then letting rip. The other options usually left you over exposed or facing too many enemies at once.

    I think if I was to replay I might try to sneak past everyone but I bought this as a shooter not a stealth game. The thing that attracted me to the game was the ability rig a level with explosives, distract a soldier, set off the explosives, kick over cars rip off a M/C gun from a jeep and let rip into the remaining enemies but this type of dynamic play wasn't really possible (or at least not worth the risk and time).

    Part of the reason was the level design wasn't set up for this and the enemy AI spotted you for no reason. The balance of assassination vs the 'Tactical Options' was also pretty weak and unrewarding.

    The game does look good but I did find enemies walking in walls and other glitches, the enemy AI was also nothing special and as an example they would always go and stand over a dead body so a snipers dream.

    I've only briefly played the multiplayer but it feels like a poor copy of MW2 with invisibility.

    It was not a bad game by any stretch, very pretty and quiet playable but no where no as interesting as Dead Space 2. It feels half way between MW2 in looks and play style and Reach in terms of being a super soldier and level design but I think both these games do these things better.

    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.

    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!

      The name of the seventh mission "Dead Man Walking" means that the character you play as (Alcatraz) is technically a walking corpse throughout the campaign.

      When 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.
