Crysis 2 review

Crysis 2, the new sequel to first game, Crysis has been a huge success. The game features a new character, Alcatraz, which again has the help of his best friend, the nanosuit. The nanosuit will help you maximize your armor, speed and strength. The nanosuit also has another feature called Cloak, which lets you go invisible. Invisibility is important in some cases, such as stealth kills. The game also features new weapons and attachments. A very new feature that I found pretty satisfying was Nano Catalyst. Nano Catalyst are points that help you upgrade your suit in some areas, such as armor enhancement. Now, to talk about graphics, it obviously has some pretty good graphics. But something people notice is that the graphics are only Direct X 09, not Direct X 11, like most people were expecting. Their was supposed to be a Direct X 11 patch, but Crytek denied it, so C'est dommage! Also, the game had some graphical bugs like the weapon not showing up in your hands at some time, but overall, the game has no doubt the best graphics ever. To understand the storyline, you'd have to play all the games to understand it. That's what I like about video games, you have to own all of them to understand the story sometimes. Anyway, New York is attacked by aliens and takes pretty heavy damage. The nanosuit actually is a pretty major invention and is needed to help fight off the invasion. Seriously, take my word, if it wasn't for the nanosuit, you'd be dead within an hour of gameplay. Unfortunately, Prophet is contaminated by the alien disease and dies. I find this game pretty enjoyable, except for some glitches and other stuff. Overall, this game was definitely worth the 7 years in development. Well done Crytek! I give Crysis 2 a 9.5/10.
