When posing the question "Does it run Crysis ?" to console owners, considering it was a PC-only title, the answer would always be unequivocally, " no" . But now PS3 and Xbox 360 owners need no longer feel left out as the sequel to 2007's Crysis is finally here and available on consoles.

Large and detailed environments; Very high-res textures; Solid score and voice acting; Environments offer different tactical options to take down enemies; Suit abilities are fun to use and can be upgraded; Great looking maps; Nicely balanced combat; Campaign is a decent length

Yes there is a story here but it mainly involves being sent from one place to the next by a rotating cast of characters; Lighting effects are nothing impressive; Audio glitches and inconsistensies; Towards the end it devolves into basic FPS combat; Limited customization options; Difficulty is fairly...

It's no secret that first-person shooters have stagnated. Carbon copies with shinier textures continue to sell incredibly well. Like these clones, Crysis 2 does little to create new material in the genre, though it cobbles together disparate gameplay elements that do create a level of interest that...

Players can creatively traverse levels; Highly polished presentation

Story is not gripping; Can become redundant

-

+ Phenomenal Graphics and Scenery; + Nanosuit Abilities Create Fun; Tactical Battles

- Erratic Enemy AI

Furthermore, the twelve maps are graphically just as impressive as the single player campaign, with a variety of iconic locations such as the financial district of Wall Street, or the Statue of Liberty, providing a plethora of tactical options.

The fact it is the best looking shooter on PlayStation 3; Tons of weapon variation and tactical opportunity; The rewarding multiplayer component

The unexciting campaign; Stealth mode feels cheap; The erratic A.I.

If you play first-person shooters on your PC, the very mention of the original Crysis brings to mind lush jungle beauty brought to life by a graphics engine so impressive and flexible that it remains the visual benchmark to which all other PC games are held.

Nanosuit and big levels offer plenty of flexibility; Powerful depiction of a devastated city; The second half is stuffed with awesome; memorable battles; Good-sized campaign and full-featured multiplayer offer lots of lasting value; Outstanding soundtrack

Poor AI detracts from the excitement; Some annoying bugs; The first few hours drag

Crytek's Nanosuited sequel is a stellar sci-fi shooter, featuring a gripping single-player campaign, action-packed multiplayer, and some jaw-dropping visuals.

Gripping campaign that plays out across 10+ hours; looks incredible in 3D; great balance of sci-fi and real-world; multiplayer is awesome

With Crysis 2, Crytek is making a long-awaited opening towards the console audience. The German developer of PC posterboys Far Cry and Crysis is going multiplatform for the first time in its existence, but, unfortunately, it also shows… Don't panic, though, dear readers, because Crysis 2 is still a...

If Crysis was known for one thing, it was amazing graphics. That was with good reason, as the game didn't offer much else. While it boasted a few interesting ideas, the game felt imbalanced, had bizarre difficulty spikes, and felt more like a tech demo than an actual game.

I'm just going to come right out and say it: I never played the original Crysis. I didn't have the super computer needed to run the game at a reasonable frame rate so if you're looking for an across-the-board comparison between the two titles, you might want to look somewhere else.

Crysis 2 ticks all the right boxes, with a lengthy campaign that packs plenty of replay value and multiplayer options that are bound to prove a big hit. If only the suit's powers were managed a little better, and the AI was up to scratch, we'd be recommending this outright.
