Quick breakdown for you.
1. This does not play like Crysis or Warhead which were sandbox games. This game is more linear like Call of Duty.
2. Even on Extreme setting for graphics, the pc version is lacking in texture quality and certain affects terribly, HOWEVER, this is still a pretty game as the lighting affects, streamline of the framerate, and other differences in graphic design make this game its own artistic achievement when compared to the first. This will only get better if they upgrade the graphics with a patch.
3. Soldier AI is not as good as Crysis for some reason, but its still fun. This needs to be patched badly in my opinion. They still will come after you hard, but a lot of times you can shoot someone another solder 7 feet away will keep repeating "It must have been a false alarm".
4. This game is a lot more action oriented than the first as in its a lot more faster paced and explosive, which makes it stand out on its own.
5. The graphics, story, and pace pick up later in the game, due to story twists, and alien encounters, and definately are worth the price of admission.
6. I've only played multiplayer twice, but when I did it was really AWESOME. I didn't run into any cheaters and only had problems with my code key once.
7. Look at this game as a "new" type of Crysis game and not as in similar to the first and you will enjoy it, IMO.
