First of all, in all platforms, the graphics look amazing. I don't know about you, but the PC graphics for this game is lightyears ahead of its console brothers. The faces look real. The lighting looks real. The water looks real. Heck, explosions make you feel warm and fuzzy. That is not to say that the graphics on consoles svck. They are freakin' great. Personally, I think Crysis 2 has the best graphics on the Xbox 360 to date! Perhaps the textures are a bit lacking, but it makes up for so many polygons, effects, particles -- basically, more things are happening on screen than your Halos or Call of Duties! We have to admit, that despite the lack of DX11, the game looks freakin' amazing.
Second, they are at the mercy of the -- *gasp* -- publisher! In this case, it is EA! You do know that EA is the one funding Crytek to create this game. This means that they can pressure or coerce Crytek to release earlier than expected, create console versions, and other things. They are also affected by politics.
Third, the gameplay! I don't know about you, but I'm tired of the usual Call of Duty gameplay, which forces you to run through a corridor and each firefight is an exercise of your fingers. Higher difficulties require faster fingers. In Crysis, you actually have to use your head! And you can also scale walls, go under ground and walk in plain sight! You can use objects in your environment to kill your foes! And you feel happy! Playing Crysis 2 makes me happy

My love letter:
Dear Crytek Team,
I love your game. I love that the stealth dynamics work and that I feel like a super soldier. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
I love the fact that you put a lot of work into your soundtracks and that there is one every level.
I would hug all of you if I could.
Thank you. Please stab COD already

Love,
Ian
