Multiplat Crysis 2

[keeno 111]

I ****ing love this game. The campaign is amazing there is so many options and different ways you can go about combat. I love the story to.

The graphics are insane on 360 to havn't seen anything like it surprised they were able to pull it off. The areas are really huge and open want what it makes up for in crysis 1 instead of the mass open space there is alot of verticle space.

There is plenty of epic scenes and destruction aswell. I seriously loved the campaign. Getting on to multiplayer now.

Cant post....enjoying game too much

Have it on PS3, looks amazing.

Can't really get into it as I have to take off for the evening but the controls, sounds and picture is 10/10

Got if for nothing too after trading in Homefront

I traded NFS hot pursuit and paid $13 limited edition was surprising, i was happy with just getting a standard one

Crysis 1 always played liked the best FPS of this gen. It looks like C2 is as good as it, gameplay wise, whilst managing to significantly improve to cinematic aspect of Crysis at the same time. I'm looking forward to playing it this week.

Still have zero to little faith in multiplayer doing anything for me though.

I have this game. Amazing. Considering amputating a leg to get off work earlier. Love it

Will have this game in an hour or so. Can't wait. Just wish it was a few more than 12 players online, though by all accounts it works well with 12....?

Amazing game it really is, has set a benchmark in the graphics dept. Storyline is good and challenging. So far the mp is good but not sure if it will keep me playing...will see how it goes

Finally got around to spending a couple of hours playing multiplayer and it's surprisingly good. Very good. I say surprisingly because I was very skeptical about the lack of players. 6 v 6 has the real potential to become either a camp fest or a case of "just run and gun" but I can safely say this game is neither. I'd still prefer 12 v 12 but it works very well as is.

I think the best way to describe this game IMO is one word - Balanced. Besides the best graphics going in a FPS today, and they are gorgeous, so far everything seems to be really well balanced in the game which is making it a blast to play - The weapons, perks, map designs, energy and health regeneration, XP system.....nothing seems noticeably over-powered and there is a real emphasis on playing to your 'style' and using tactics. This is especially true when it comes to managing your energy level.

The maps are great and look awesome. They may be smallish but they don't really feel like it due to the lack of players, though in saying this, you don't have to worry about running around for an eternity looking for enemies, especially if you can use a radar well. There are three killstreaks at 3, 5 and 7 kills and the killstreaks change for different maps. There's one (at 5 kills I think) that's like a massive laser that comes down from the sky and slowly moves across the map taking out enemies in it's path....pretty cool. One thing though, you have to run over a dead enemy to get his tag for the kill to register in your killstreak (you can get a perk to bypass this though). Personally I don't mind that because it's the perfect counter to campers

I'll stop blabbing on now but just thought I'd throw my 2 cents out there for anyone thinking of getting the game. I haven't played the single player yet but by all accounts it's great. The game may take a little while to get used to as it adds a few new gameplay elements to the MP FPS genre, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun and definitely worth the money IMO.

*Just realised I've only tried Team Deathmatch I imagine the objective based game mode(s) will be kick ass too.

I dont know what list you were looking at, but the one on their site has NBA 2K10 and FIFA 10 on it. Plus Cricket: The Ashes but idk if thats the same game.
