Crysis 2 (PC DVD)

You can tell when developers have really put their efforts and creativity into a game. This game is one of those kinds of games. I'll replay a game IF two things apply:1. you can replay the game using what you've earned in your first playthrough.2. the game rocks.Not only have I played this game though like 4 times, I was playing two different games at the same time (one game on normal, the other using the HD pack on hard setting). I would play through it again. The game is a blast and very well made.

I just played the single player campaign, but I had a great time and it was just the right length. The missions were fun, and the difficulty was just right.

The most interesting thing about Crysis 2 is it's playing fields: tall buildings, big open vertical environments, and dilapidated crumbling structures. There's an incredible verticality to the proceedings that make this shooter feel like none other. Otherwise, it's about what you'd expect; a lot of fun, but not exactly though-provoking. The story is interesting, especially your character, who is essentially a walking corpse that was randomly chosen off of the battlefield. He has no connection to events and is sorta like Mater from Cars 2; always being mistaken for someone else, but he adapts so well no one can really tell the difference. You want fun shooter action, but you're tired of the twitch, rail-shooter gameplay of COD? Crysis 2 will entertain the hell out of you. Want a thought-provoking sci-fi adventure? Look elsewhere.

Big Frog Gifts Storefront sold us the pirated product through Amazon. When it arrived it had the different picture on the box, not the one shown on Amazon website. We had many games purchased and completely forgot about Crysis 2. We even forgot to install it. Then I found it in my son's room and decided to try it out. After installation the software didn't create the icons on desktop and never asked the installation code. I had to dig inside of the files to find the autorun and installation files. Guess what?! It asked for the activation and codes never worked. I contacted Electronic Arts and Origin. None of them recognized the code the seller provided for the game. Too bad I can not return it and get the refund. It has been more than 30 days. :((

I am using this Product as a single player or I could multiplayer use as well.

Admittedly I'm a little late coming on board with Crysis 2... I've read the previous reviews and noticed a lot of mixed opinions on the game, so far that reason I decided to hold off until it hit the bargain bin. Typically when a game starts getting mixed reviews like that, my experience is that the game will end up being a mixed bag of both good features and areas that need improvement.Actually my experience with this one has been that of being pleasantly surprised. The machine I'm running it on is an AMD FX 8 core processor and Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti Boost, so I was able to take advantage of the DX11 patch and HiRes add-on. That being said, graphics wise the game definitely is a looker... I want to refrain too much from comparing it to the original as this is a completely different environment. Suffice to say that if the player has the ability to run it at maximum settings with the add-ons, I don't think there are many that would honestly claim to be disappointed with the results! :-) Likewise sound and soundtrack are also excellent. Player interface is pretty much standard for the genre, so no great surprises there.Personally, I think the reason for most of the criticism with this game is that there is a rather large disconnect from the original Crysis. First, there is the storyline. For those who played Crysis 1 (You have played it, haven't you?), Prophet was seen heading back to the island to finish off the job that he started in dealing with the alien threat. Now he shows up in New York as the carrier of an alien virus, handing off his suit to a new protagonist named Alcatraz, and the world seems to be going to hell in a hand-basket around him. What the hell happened in between the two games? Certainly could have been handled better.The other big disconnect is that this game went from a relatively open-ended game-play style to something much more linear. While I do tend to prefer the former, the fact that this storyline is more focused is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. Think in terms of the Half-Life series, and that is overall what this game feels like. One thing this game does offer however, and this is a carryover from the other Crysis, is that it still allows plenty of latitude on how to approach a given combat. Do you prefer to be stealthy and take out your opponent with a knife? Sniper on the rooftops? Classic run and gun? Any of these styles are possible.The suit options have been streamlined such that things before that required manual activation like Strength mode, are now automatic. There really is only the choice between stealth and armor now. It does allow for upgrades however as the player is able to harvest alien biomass for integration into the suit.Gameplay itself is fun though pretty standard at this point. There was some criticism of the game's AI, but I felt that it was overall pretty typical of the genre. In other words, they are capable of mounting a reasonably competent defense when attacked, but will generally go back to milling around like nothing happened when things quiet down. Another criticism is that the environment isn't breakable... mostly true. Glass and small objects can be broken, and other objects like crates can be tossed around. Does get a little silly however when firing say the main gun from a tank at a search light and all it does is spin around.Now, I do personally have one major criticism of the game, and for me this is a big one. The version of Crysis 2 that I got was the "EA Classics" release... meaning it was a reissue. The game had NONE of the patches included. Furthermore, I could tell during the install that once again Electronic Arts had released the initial game without sufficient play-testing and as such when this game was originally released it had a lot of bugs. It actually took me three tries to correctly install the game and get it to patch properly. After two years, this really should have been a non-issue and is inexcusably sloppy on the part of EA. If there is one thing that annoys me to no end is to be a "pay-in" beta tester (meaning that the software is released to the public before being fully tested and relies on customer input to resolve problems), and is the primary reason I don't buy initial releases anymore, preferring to wait a few months until they can chase all the bugs out. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect the game to work without major issues (crashing, freezing, failure to patch, etc.) out of the box. EA has become really bad about this in the last few years, and honestly I was about ready to hang it up on them. Fortunately I was able to get everything to work in the end.If I were to sum up Crysis 2 in a sentence, it would be "been there, done that". Definitely a fun game, and when working correctly a solid first-person shooter that is definitely worth a look at especially since it can be got on the cheap these days. Unfortunately there is nothing about it that really stands out from the genre, and for those looking for the type of bleeding edge innovations and technology that put the Crytek team on the map, don't expect much from this package. In short, it's the sort of game for people like me who are looking for a decent first person shooter "fix" without spending a lot of money or brainpower to get it!

Exellent game with all that you would expect of Crysis and more. Can't wait to get into Crysis 3. Thank you.

when i got my crysis in the mail i was so excited but then was left with major disappointment.after the painfully long installation i go to enter the product key and it gives me "this key is invalid" message. thinking i had just messed up typing it i try it again. and again. and again.obnoxious. i gave up. deleted it and bought it off of steam.fantastic game.

Perfetto e come descritto.Non mi ha deluso in nessuna delle mie aspettative.Gioco di azione molto bello e con scenari sempre più incredibili se si acquistano le sue espansioni.. penso di seguire tutte le sue nuove uscite

I loved the original Crysis a lot, the graphics were insane and gameplay very free-roam style. Crysis 2 is a different take on what was originally a very enthusiast orientated game. So being brutally honest, number 2 does feel like it was perhaps born on a console, in essence, if you like the more Hollywood movie experience with a pre-defined script and plot and path (a'la modern warfare etc) then this game will actually suit you a lot better than Crysis original ever will. This might not suit all tastes, however. I gave it time though, and with addition of the texture packs its true power is unleashed. It isn't as gritty as Crysis 1 in some ways, and the graphics are sort of, well 'different' (you can add a mod to suit your own taste if you want a darker game) but what really shines in this game is the completeness. The game is now more orientated and accessible to the non-pro or occasional gamer; movement and the changing of suit modes, for example, is a lot more straight forward. Its been simplified, and is less simulator like than Crysis, but somehow it ends up providing an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. One thing I would say is that you can enjoy the blockbuster experience, you can even add your mods, but I would avoid playing on the easiest difficulties if you can avoid it, for it will only shorten the experience. In short, don't steam roller the game, don't play with subtitles, don't skip cut-scenes and I think many players will find it manages to do the FPS thing better than any of the COD series have in years.

Le jeu est effectivement en français malgré l'import anglais et il est arrivé rapidement.J'ai offert ce jeu à mon conjoint pour le changer des classiques Battlefield/Call of Duty.Il a été agréablement surpris par ce jeu assez complet avec différents niveaux. Aprés plusieurs heures de jeux, il n'en a pas encore fait le tour.Je n'y ai pas joué mais je pense que c'est un bon jeu avec un bon rapport qualité/prix.

Nach gescheitem spielen muss ich sagen, dass das im Interface und in der allgemeinen "Spielart" sehr gut ist. Es ist besser als der erste Teil in dieser hinsicht.Jedoch muss ich leider sagen das es mir zu kurz war.Ich hab das Spiel Standardmäßig wie immer direkt auf der härtesten Schwierigkeitsstufe gestartet und hatte es nach gerademal knappen 10 Stunden Spielzeit schon durch. Freitag bekommen. Samstag gestartet und ca 3 Stunden gespielt. Sonntag nochmal ca 5 Stunden gespielt und am Montag dann zuende durchgemacht.Von der Handlung her ganz ok aber der erste Teil war da etwas besser. Ansonsten war auch hier die Handlung ziemlich gut und recht ergänzend zum ersten Teil.Der Nano-Suit hat mir hier besser gefallen, man konnte mehr mit ihm arbeiten und bisschen mit dem Nano-Suit rumspielen. Auch die möglichkeit ihm upgrades durch die "Alien"zellen zu verpassen hat mir gut gefallen.Was mit ein wenig gefehlt hat war die Handlung mit den "Aliens", es war ziemlich spät wo dann mal mehr "Aliens" kamen und dann war das noch zu schnell vorbei.Auch töten konnte man die "Aliens" zu schnell. Kaum Unterschied zu den Soldaten, eben mal ein Headshot und dann war es soweit eigentlich auch schon vorbei.Das einzige "Problem", wobei auch die kein wirkliches Problem waren, waren die größeren "Maschinen" die auch diese "Kleberaketen", die erst nach einer gewissen "Aufladung" explodieren, schiesen konnten.Im Allgemeinen aber ein gutes Spiel. Auch wenn es so eine kurze Spieldauer bei mir hatte, hat sich der Kauf auf jedenfall gelohnt, immerhin kann man es ja mehrfach spielen und die "Souveniers" und alles besorgen.

Crysisは初代もプレイしました。グラフィックは初代Crysisに比べると不自然な空気感を感じますが、やはりCryEngineはすごい描写力を持っていると思います。リプレイ性も高いこともこのゲームの魅力だと思います。正面突破するのもよし、高い建物に登って敵の背後に回り込んでもよしと割と自由に行動できます。私は何度もプレイしています。またナノスーツの操作性もよくなりました。特にキーボードでモードを切り替えられるのは良いですね。テンポの良いFPSはで遊んでいて気持ちが良いです。ただ、敵AIがおかしな行動をしたりやたら固かったり（セフを除けばヘッドショットでは一撃ですが）と少し「え？」と思うことも・・。武器のカスタマイズ性（たとえばSCARにスナイパースコープを付けられない）も減少していることも残念です。ストーリーについては前作からつながっているようですが、やや強引過ぎるかな？という印象を受けました。ナノスーツが主人公なの？というぐらい本来の主人公（アルカトラズ）の影は薄いです。それに結末としては「あの方」が復活（入れ替わる？）など自分としては納得できない部分もありましたね。しかし、FPSとしてここ最近ない面白さを持っていますし、買って損はしないと思います。
