Crysis 2 - Maximum Edition

anti power fantasy game
weak ass fat whale cant do anything, game jank as hell, everything is slow and broken, nothing feels smooth
everything is clunky and unsatisfying, yes the music is good.

F**KING MASSIVE when Final Release 6 years ago, decided to buy Max Version for Nostalgic feeling.
better than Today Release of Course.

If you are okay with only checkpoint saving and infinite enemies in some parts of the game, then this is for you. I am not...I quit about 25% into the game.

still one of the finest and graphically pretty shooters ever made!

great fun! A++

Recommended solely for the theme song.

The suit goes hard ngl

A game that is extremely underrated and overhated. The Crytek Engine still holds up to this day. Oh and it's longer than the MWIII campaign as well.

I have played this game before but wanted to play it again since I had a good time with it. The game is a sequel to the game Crysis where the setting doesn't take place in an island but in the US in New York. You start as a soldier in a submarine then get saved by the Prophet who gives you the suit. In the game, you notice that the game is more linear-based instead of more open-world-like compared to the first one. The first game I liked more because of the multiple choices you could make to get to your objective by being stealthy or loud. In this game, you can use attachments for your gun by finding them on soldiers or near ammo crates that have guns with attachments like a silencer, scopes, and under barrels. You fight the Ceph in this game and when you kill them they drop nanonites that you use for modifications for your suit. There are 3 different types of upgrades you can use for 4 different things the suit upgrade can do. You can find collectibles in the game but I didn't bother getting them all because I have no reason to get them. You can drive vehicles like military vehicles. There are only 2 I can think of. The military jeep and the APC. Most of the time I play this game I go loud because I'm not good at stealth in this game. There are new weapons in the game like weapons that are most useful against the Ceph. There's the K-volt which is pretty much an SMG but uses electroshock ammo. Mk 60 which is a lmg you can use and get ammo for from ammo boxes and from soldiers that use the gun. The X-43 MIKE is a weapon that is mostly useful against Ceph for me since it does more damage than the other guns I use on them. There are probably other weapons but they're mostly the same. The OST for the game is done by Hans Zimmer, which needs no explanation if you already know him. After beating the game for the second time I give this game a 8 out of 10. I do recommend getting this game in case your wondering how the sequel is. I hope my review makes you think twice about getting the game. Have a good day.

gives me a bit flashbacks to back then. 6,5/10

Very good story, played before having Steam so I don't have all my wasted hours recorded. No longer open world, still good game.

Doesn't have the freedom of the original Crysis but it's a fine experience if you accept it for the console driven cinematic experience it is. The story is good, voice acting is great, music rocks.

I enjoyed this game.

Super game.

I liked Crysis a lot and also liked Crysis 2 a lot. There are things I liked better with Crysis than Crysis 2, but there are also areas where Crysis 2 is better. The main thing that Crysis 2 does better is to mix up the missions where you fight alien and human enemies. In Crysis, you fought humans in the first part, which was fun and fought flying aliens in the second part, which wasn't that fun. Crysis 2 doesn't have any flying aliens, but it does have plenty of aliens and the first ones showed up a couple of hours into the game. Even late in the game, you still get to fight some humans, though, which is a nice change. While the aliens are more fun to fight than in Crysis, they're still less fun to fight than humans and the armored aliens are even less fun, but then again, bullet sponge enemies are rarely fun.

Crysis 2 isn't as open as Crysis, since you're in a ruined Manhattan instead of an island, but I still felt like there were more than one way to get across the area. This, together with a few other things made the game feel like I had access to significantly more options than other, more linear, more restricted FPS games. Just the fact that you can jump really high and grab hold of ledges made this game much more fun. You can also pick up and throw various items, including a generous amount of explosive barrels.

What I don't like about Crysis 2 compared to Crysis is that they've seemed to reduce the number of suit powers. There is no speed power, instead you can simply sprint until you use up your energy. I think the enhanced strength power is always active, but can only be used with button prompts, like when you're near a car it says "press F to power kick". Not a lot of them to kick around and rarely in a spot where you can use it to tactical advantage. This makes it feel like you have less ways to play around with the suit powers than Crysis.

The two-weapon limit is a decision where I'm like "I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed", because I mainly play old-school shooters without this limitation. There are plenty of good weapons, but I would have liked to be able to carry at least 3 or 4 guns at any time. Perhaps there is a mod for that, since the main menu does have a Mods section.

Crysis 2 has much better endgame content than Crysis, but I got a bit tired of shooting aliens before it actually ended. Well, it wasn't too long and I had fun most of the way, so I definitely recommend this to people who liked Crysis or FPS games in general.

The best in the series, absolute masterpiece of a game!

It is still a fasinating pice of game! The movification did great for this. Yeah the previous was a big sand box, this is smaller .... but for a reason ... maybe because the constant tense of presure it was a better experience for me. This is a masterpice of FPS!

I cba to write. It's just good.
