» Thu Dec 31, 2009 7:44 am The Campaigns Storyline Is a very interesting tale which goes in-depth and leaves enough answers untold to leave the gamer guessing and thinking of possibilities of what it could be.
The Gameplay is good, Audio and Visual are both of High quality and complement each other in their two similar styles.
The things I disliked about the campaign was its lack of challenge, Not shooting against many enemies challenge, just simply puzzle solving and mental challenges. One prime example I have is when you were supposed to release the spore at the end of the game, Its an epic scene although there was no challenge innit. You just had to crawl with RT,LT,RT, then press A to jump off. There should of been a coding puzzle you had to solve after you jumped off or something it just didn't immerse me entirely just sitting back and watching Alcatraz take care of everything.
The Dumb A.I. makes the experience kind of Gamey. Its strange because Crytek were boasting about how intelligent their A.I. were yet they are stupid in comparisent to lets say MW2's A.I. yet Infinity mentioned nothing about A.I. since intelligent A.I. was sort of standard to them.
Lastly the fact that Cloak removes all challenge from the game completely, it renders supersoldier a walk in the park. Yes, you can make it hard on yourself by taking your time to kill all the A.I. in the Areas, but that is a false challenge, Its like me crawling to the shops instead of walking.
All in all i'll give the Campaign 7.5/10
The multiplayer is a somewhat familiar taste of multiplayer in the gaming industry but it has a few unique touches to it, the main touch is the nanosuit.
The multiplayer gameplay is good, The guns feel Powerful and the movement is very fluid.
Although the current lag issues and the guns balance being biased towards the fully automatics does somewhat render the experience slightly dull after a while due to the fact that the other weapons act as a penalty when you use them so you are somewhat compelled to use fully autos only.
Also the contribution of expereince of Cloak is questionable and the effects of Armour mode seem so insignificant that its almost not worth bothering with activating it anyway.
All in all I'll give the multiplayer 5.0/10
For Crysis 2 I'll give it a 6.0 All in all its a pretty good game, but due to the many issues regarding bugs and what not, it severely impacts the experience of the game, The campaign is fairly solid although the game as a whole lacks features that is nowadays expected of modern day FPS's.
