Crysis 2 Review

Ten years ago first person shooters were the most popular games on the market. Every gaming company was trying to get through a new FPS because people simply just loved them. All other genre took second fiddle. But all good things come to an end, and the gaming market is fickle, just like any other market today.

FPS suddenly died and their dominance is nothing more than a memory. No one knows, or cares why this happened. Perhaps gamers became more evolved and no longer found excitement in simply running around like a mercenary killing indiscriminately. Maybe gamers were intelligent human beings after all and wanted to think and use their brain power when playing a game. They didn't want to switch off, even when it was time to relax.

Crysis 2 does little to bring any new elements to an already saturated market. Besides, everyone played the first episode. There is nothing creative or exciting in the second series of this game. The developers have done nothing outstanding in any way of graphics, gameplay, or other to make Crysis 2 a much sought after game.

However, there is no denying Crysis 2 does have beautiful aesthetic graphics and the scenes are carefully crafted to deliver an entertaining and enjoyable game. Regardless on which platform you play Crysis 2, it delivers what you expect. If you enjoy first person shooters then Crysis 2 is the most modern game in that category and you can't go far wrong from choosing this enticing game.

The story may not be exceptionally well thought out. It may behave a lot like its predecessor, and it may not be the most exciting FPS you ever played. But generally, the game is well rounded, and provides fans with an above average gaming experience. The action as in the first one, is superb. There is plenty of action as you proceed through the levels causing mayhem. You can perform a vast array of movements and acrobatics and the controls are easy to master. Your weapons provide an extensive range of firepower and you will really love using them. There is something about killing aliens. Gamers, from children to grown adults, love doing this. What is it about aliens?

You can follow one of two game styles. Either you can proceed cautiously, using sniper and surprise attacks on your enemies. The other option is to use overwhelming fire power and storm your way to victory. The risk is that you can die a lot quicker, but many people opt for this method as it relieves that pent up stress you never quite got rid of, because you play games in your free time, instead of going to the gym.

Regardless of your favorite genre, Crysis 2 will bring back fond memories of yesteryear, and even if you were playing it for the first time, it will make you want to go back and play the first release. The music and soundtrack is much improved, even though the first one wasn't all that bad. The graphics are better, the controls are smoother. Your gameplay is better, but that does not mean Crysis 1 was bad in any way.

Simply get the game and play it.
