Ahh Crysis, the game no one thought could run on consoles. The sequel to the game that brought even the most powerful PC to it’s knees.

Crysis 2 has been on the radar of every action game fan for a while now, and with good reason. Graphically, it’s without a doubt the nicest looking game you will ever see. It also features one of the most unique features found in any FPS game…. the “suit”. If you haven’t seen or heard about it, you can cloak, beef up armour and perform leaps and bounds with reckless abandon (well… until your energy runs out).

You take the role of an everyday soldier with the extra help, set to do….. something in manhattan. I’ll be honest, the story was not exactly the most captivating aspect of the game, instead, I found myself drooling over the visuals and some of the best cut scenes I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Well, that and the very original level design. Imagine a small sandbox area, which when cleared, leads to another small sandbox area. Each with a variety of choices. “Should i snipe them all while cloaked? Should I sneak up behind them one by one? Or should I go to that turret over there and blast them all to hell?”

Online is another story. While its pretty decent, it really doesnt offer much in the way of originality. The cloak offers something new, but there are many unbalanced issues happening right now that it’s tough to recommend for more than a couple of nights.

At just shy of 8 hours, it was the perfect length for me, but if you want to try different ways of clearing levels (I wasn’t too interested), you might get more out of it.
