So I received Crysis 2 earlier today through the post and I was pretty excited. Launched it, started playing the fairly stale campaign, though I enjoyed the open air 'kill these people however you want' areas.

Then I got to meet gould and needed to leave the house, so I quit the game.

When I come back to the game, the game puts me in the elevator, trapped, with no way to exit it. I basically have to sit there, forever. Or start the game again.

This would be of minor annoyance, however I also receive regular and frequent main menu freezes. I mean complete hangs, where I have to CAD to get out of it.

But it's not just 'main menu' freezes as I found out later. They also happen between rounds of multiplayer, multiplayer that was extremely frustrating due to the 'key in use' issue. I would love to apply the fix, but honestly, Crysis 2 doesn't allow me to spend that amount of time on the main menu before completely hanging.

The best part? I'm supposed to be reviewing this game for a major outlet. I don't know what to write other than "Crysis 2 fails as a videogame before you even leave the main menu"
