Crysis 2

Crysis 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Crytek, published by Electronic Arts. It was the first game to showcase the CryEngine 3 game engine.Crysis Lives up to the original in terms of providing amazing graphics and pushing graphics cards to their limits.

The player assumes the role of a Force Recon Marine called Alcatraz. Similar to its predecessor, it provides freedom to customize weaponry and abilities. The game is set in a destroyed New York City which has since been evacuated due to alien infestation. Alcatraz gains ownership of the Nanosuit 2.0 from Army Delta Force officer Laurence "Prophet" Barnes, who returns from the original Crysis. CryNet Systems has been hunting Prophet to retrieve the suit, inadvertently pursuing Alcatraz, believing he is Prophet. The aliens use high-tech humanoid armored war machines that stalk Alcatraz through the ravaged New York City.

The new Nanosuit supports new and upgraded features. However, suit functionality has been streamlined; multiple modes can easily be used simultaneously whenever the user wishes. This is decidedly different than the first game, in which the suit was generally limited to a single mode at a time and multiple modes cannot be used simultaneously for more than a split-second. The first suit's Strength and Speed Modes have been combined into the new Power Mode, the suit binoculars function has been upgraded with an advanced Tactical mode, the Cloaking Device has been modified to allow increased sensory input and silent melee stealth kills and has been renamed to Stealth Mode, while the Armor Mode has been left with slightly restricted agility and an ever-decreasing energy level.

The game play overall is great and you wont be disappointed with the campaign providing you with hours of fun and stunning visuals. The great thing about this game is you don't need an amazing computer to run it as even if you don't meet the minimum system requirements Crytek have designed the game to still be able to run on lower resolutions and graphic settings. However, playing the game on high settings shows you the incredible time spent into making the game as life like as possible.
