Crysis 2 remains the greatest game in the series. It had both gameplay and story. The third game had gameplay but felt too much like I was watching a bad american movie, the first game didn't have as fun gameplay but had great story. But nothing beats Crysis 2, it had both.
NerdScicion Hm)) But Crysis 2 has the most interesting story. And Crysis 1 is the most - only cause it`s classic! +Photoreal IV in "First light" level)) That`s why: Crysis 2 > Crysis >> Crysis 3 & Warhead. PS Or... wait))) Are you think original Crysis story is the best? ;)
heck no! Its Crysis/Crysis Warhead > Crysis 2 > Crysis 3.....Its sad the way this series turned out after it went multiplatform.... If you compare Far Cry and first Crysis to Crysis 2 and Crysis 3, you can clearly see how much more linear and narrow level design Crysis sequels have....and thats all thanks to the fact that they were designed the console-limitations in mind.
Just bought this game tonight for $3 haha, playing my first Crysis game,I know that I am about 8 years or so late for thefirst one, but I am excited, just watching the trailers first and then playing for the first time....Oh yeah!
So many memories with Crysis 2 , loved playing it on the Xbox 360 👏👏👏 loved the menu theme from Hans Zimmer, used to sit and listen to it for so long 🎶
After reading the comments as to master chief vs prophet/Alcatraz nano suit, I'd say it is even. Both suits recharge health. Pointless argument. I will say playing Halo reminds me of a child's play PG rated paintball tournament. But the story is pretty good considering the franchise goes on forever. My 2 cents have been added.
The "Crysis" game series as a whole is one of the most flawless games with a very compelling storyline. It's so exciting. Everything to the soundtrack to the action is awesome. Out of thousands of games I've experienced, Crysis is number one.
Are you seriously saying the whole NY stuff is the most interesting setting? First, from all the places in the world, NY? That's like the less creative place nowadays. Second, and the most know error: Continuity, this game really doesn't connect with the first one except Prophet appears in the first minutes. Second, the aliens doesn't look the ones introduced in the first one, not even close, also, in the first one they made clear the aliens needed to change the environment to their needs, this isn't even mentioned here. Also, the fuck is wrong with the player? How hard is to remove the helmet and say "hey, I'm not fucking Prophet, stop shooting". And why we need to fight humans again? It was more than clear the alien thread in the first one, and in this everybody acts like they know nothing about it? This was just an eye candy game, want a good story, and it excels at it. Want a good story? Play the first one
EarnSomeRespectOT maybe storywise it was more interesting than the first game, but otherwise Crysis and Crysis Warhead were superior in every possible way.
David Escalante alcatraz cannot remove his nano suit otherwise he will die, its the very thing thats keeping him alive hence why you see that he has sustained huge injury's in the level where you are scanned. Propthet plays a huge role in crysis 2 story, he is the reason alcatraz is alive and did you know the voice that the suit emits is actaully prophet's voice giving you intructions lol, his mind was uploaded to the suit as stated at the end of the game. Prophet was also the one hargreav sent with secret instructions to find out what the alien threat was.
CrazyRobotPRODUCTIONS ALL nanosuit have detachable helmets (at least then can expose their face). Also, he can clearly speak at the end of the game, what stopped him at the beginning? Prophet himself have the helmet removed at the very beginning of both Crysis 1 and 2.
It had one of the best conclusions in a story driven series. When so many devs these days give in to their greed by releasing endless sequels and cliffhanger after cliffhanger, Crysis 3 delivered a cohesive story with a complete ending that did the games justice. I also think the beach scene was beautiful. The best gameplay goes to Crysis 1 easyI agree about the soundtrack, to an extent. But I think Crysis 3 had very good soundtrack too. "What are you prepared to sacrifice" is a very good track.
you can have 4 different perks equipped at one time, you purchase the perks using alien tissue samples you get from killing squid. There are12 perks to choose from. They are both specific and broad. e.g. one elongates all power drain(makes everything last longer) while another makes you stealth longer and shooting only drains a little. Of course this is single player, i dont know about multilayer. Thinkign of picking it up? I highly recommend this game.
Cloaking works by reflecting light off of the front of the nanosuit, and projecting what is behind the nanosuit on the front. This creates a feeling of 'invisibility'. This can, and has, been done in real life. What is true though is that the weaponry would not become invisible, that is a huge pot hole in the tech.
@XcrazyX10 the engines actually very good because it has very good shooting mechanics and runs at 60fps on consoles whereas most engines run at 30fps on consoles
One of the greatest games I've ever played. Absolutely outstanding. And that's not just in the "Shooter" genre! I'm a fan of all genres! My favourite games are in fact Half Life, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Portal, Halo, Gears and Crysis 2! So from the perspective of someone who enjoys almost every game out there: This is by far, one of the best.
It's explained in the 'Crysis Comic' (I think, I haven't read it yet), look for it on Google. It's supposed to bridge the gap between Crysis 1 and 2. The aliens are the same species, but they use different tactics.
@Tanatbenbenpoppop I have to agree with you that the maps in Crysis 2 are smaller than those in Crysis 1 but I don't think this is due to the fact that the game is a console port rather it's a result of the game taking place in an urban environment. Unlike many if not most people I still think Crytek did a surprisingly good job moving Crysis into NYC. Like I said many people won't agree with me but in my eyes Crysis 2 is a well made urban version of Crysis with the same "iconic" gameplay.
Are you kidding me? Sure it was slow to start off with, but the story kept getting better and better the more you found out about alcatraz and the suit. The epicness of the game sealed the deal for me.
That's not the answer, Prophet was even more wounded and he still talked. Nomad was wounded too and he talked. They just didn't want him to talk because they didn't want him to.
A friend kind of said something about there being a comic that pretty much explains crysis 1/2 gap, that we don't get to play the main character again from what I hear.
anybody else see the huge gap in the story? where did prophet come from? what happened to raptor team after they went back to the island? wheres power struggle?
@piefish Still Crysis 2 needed Way more development time. I love how they created the Ceph to look like, But, It felt like an Alien budget film to me. Already Crysis 1 Last battle on the Battlecruiser with that enormous Ceph Warship and Prophet's survival impressed me and got me hyped for the squeal . They gave u a new protagonist Who is Muted and Has no Background. They ruin the squeal with limted sandbox roaming and decent story without Nomad. You get Happy ending when game finishes
@lightholeAAA A mix of composers did it, most of it was done by Borislav Slavov. Funny name yes but he's the one that made the song in it called "SOS New York" which I'd say goes down as the best piece in Crysis 2
@metznimbo29 I, personally, played both Crysis and ive loved them both, crysis 2 was the perfect sequel, it was very action packed and the story picked up perfectly.
I have both Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I think while Crysis 3 does has better graphics, Crysis 2 is more exciting to play. The background music makes it so intense! And it has more levels.
His body was heavily wounded during his insertion. The nanosuit is the only thing keeping him alive. He is like a Big Daddy from Bioshock or a quarian from Mass Effect.
@cutiepe2ce It's nothing like skyline...and the reason the Ceph units are different is cause they're in a different part of the world. You know how the American army is not the same as the Korean army? Like that. The Ceph in the first game used robotics, in crysis 2 they used a ground force and air support plus the spore.
Crysis 2 the most graphical game ever, Crysis 2 the most badass soundtrack ever, Crysis 2 epic gameplay, Crysis 2 best camera movement in history of gaming... Crysis 2 is probably one of the most epic games ever made!!! Bf3 has more realistic graphic but Crysis 2 has more graphical graphic its hard to understand that, but Crysis 2 has the best graphic ever, and Crysis 3 will have them too... The nanosuit is the best suit ever better than Iron man!!!!!!!!
Maximum Epicness Enabled!Please use headphones and loud the volume for enjoy this.For me it's the best trailer that I have seen in my life.And believe me I have seen many trailers...
I finish Crysis 2 and im playing it again,now i wana play crysis 1 ^^ The story,grafics,music,shooting,evreeeythig about this game is AWSOME..and fact this is my first game for ps3 makes it even better :)
Crysis 2 MP was still better than CoD, not quite up to Crysis 1 MP, however the single player campaign was an enjoyable experience and has the best and most kickass theme for a modern FPS I have heard. The score is great, I wish they put a few more scores int he game as bad ass too.
@pilotfan101 I wonder if it's weird that video game trailers are always better than movie trailers. Assassin's Creed: Revelations (both trailers) Killzone 3 Bioshock Bioshock Infinite Metal Gear Solid 4 Holy balls.
Get it, nothing much happens on the island after that from what crysis 2 tells you. Prophet is the only one that came back alive, something about the suits fucking up their wearers over time. These aren't spoilers, you get this info right at the start of the game. Game play for me personally was better in this one, more focussed, less runing around, more evaluating options in a smaller, but way more varied and malleable space. Streamlined suit powers.
I want that suit, in my opinion it's better than Iron-Man's, yeah Tony Stark can fly in it but whenever his suit gets shot how much repairing will he have to do? And I believe it's on a par with Master Chief's. Master chief has a stronger over shield and armor lock but this has invisibility! Stealth is for me :D
@patmos09 no, in the multiplayer you level your armour, power, and stealth up to 12, and I was wondering if doing so actually improves their effectiveness, or just allows the opportunity to unlock a new perk?
I still think Crysis is better and more enjoyable. It has nothing to do with different genres I just evaluate them by how much fun I have playing them.
This game has the best music of the trilogy.
word bro
Giuliano Lopez Raffo Hans Zimmerman did some of it....
Giuliano Lopez Raffo Hans Zimmerman did some of it....
Vertiet Ryper Yup.
*best music in Gaming history
This game is a work of art.
yes

Crysis 2 remains the greatest game in the series. It had both gameplay and story. The third game had gameplay but felt too much like I was watching a bad american movie, the first game didn't have as fun gameplay but had great story.
But nothing beats Crysis 2, it had both.
Bad American movie? A bad movie is just a bad movie no matter the circumstance but yeah Crysis 2 is the best one.
Well said man, Crysis 2 is my favorite too, so many memories ❤
Crysis 2 > Crysis 1 > Crysis 3! Best game!
For me : Crysis 1 > Crysis 3 > Crysis 2 > Crysis Warhead
NerdScicion Hm)) But Crysis 2 has the most interesting story. And Crysis 1 is the most - only cause it`s classic! +Photoreal IV in "First light" level))
That`s why: Crysis 2 > Crysis >> Crysis 3 & Warhead.
PS Or... wait))) Are you think original Crysis story is the best? ;)
Crysis 1, 2 and 3 are the best for me. I love this game.
heck no!
Its Crysis/Crysis Warhead > Crysis 2 > Crysis 3.....Its sad the way this series turned out after it went multiplatform....
If you compare Far Cry and first Crysis to Crysis 2 and Crysis 3, you can clearly see how much more linear and narrow level design Crysis sequels have....and thats all thanks to the fact that they were designed the console-limitations in mind.
crysis 1 is easily the best, better story, better lenght better characters. then warhead crysis 3 and crysis 2.
this video is full of goosebumps
2007/2011 graphic in crysis still better than 2016.
still better than 2019
still better than 2020

They don't make trailers like these anymore.
This why this game is my favorite shooter
i want the password
3 Years later and I return to watch this. Take note Game Developers/ Publishers this is how you market a game.
its a good trailer but the game was poorly maketed
If I had a nanosuit, I'd show NYPD and LAPD who's the boss.
The best game of the history
I grew up with this game. First video game I ever played. Childhood memories just run through me :'k

Fun fact: the NY bedbug problem could be adequately described based on the dialogue from this trailer.

It is from the game score, the track is called Insertion. :)
Cloaking works by reflecting light off of the front of the nanosuit, and projecting what is behind the nanosuit on the front. This creates a feeling of 'invisibility'.
This can, and has, been done in real life. What is true though is that the weaponry would not become invisible, that is a huge pot hole in the tech.
The song actually tells a lot of what's happening in the Crysis 2 universe, and i also think it goes pretty much with the trailer :)
Old but sweet
Yes, there is such a comic, it is hoverer hard to find on the Internet. You can find their plot on Crysis wiki, though.
Agreed! I think it's the music soundstracks that goes along with the game which makes it so great :p

Guys from Crytek really got a talent! In some new sequel of this game they just need to improve multiplayer, and Crysis will be a perfect!
crysis movie needs to be made

games evolve so fast.. i can still remember the days i played good old super mario.. imagine 10 years from now
@PoisonSapphire I agree nothing is more graphically awe inspiring than a lush jungle setting on Cryengine.
@midnightsnake44 would take years to render animation that good into an entire movie
I bought Crysis 2 a while back, but this makes me want to replay the entire game over again.
nomad died on his return to that island at the end of crysis 1 . read the books or the crysis wiki, you will find it there
When you level up your armour/stealth/power, does this actually make them more effective, for example levelling up armour makes it last longer?
Despite the age it still looks good
Are you kidding me? Sure it was slow to start off with, but the story kept getting better and better the more you found out about alcatraz and the suit. The epicness of the game sealed the deal for me.

Apparently you are at least. It stands for Mech Warrior. You should try out the new MW being released soon.
I have both Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I think while Crysis 3 does has better graphics, Crysis 2 is more exciting to play. The background music makes it so intense! And it has more levels.
In Mass Effect you have more control, you make the storyline, and you change it. But yeah, in Crysis you feel like a Boss!
Is this game worth buying? Looks like a fun FPS, and I've heard it's the best of the trilogy :)
His body was heavily wounded during his insertion. The nanosuit is the only thing keeping him alive. He is like a Big Daddy from Bioshock or a quarian from Mass Effect.
Agreed. Thanks for supporting me.
@gamebakers i ran it with clearly lower specs at hardcore graphics with no problem,so you will be able as well
I was going to get Battlefield 3, but since this doesn't have a stupid online pass, I'm going for it and the story is really unique for an FPS!
@cutiepe2ce It's nothing like skyline...and the reason the Ceph units are different is cause they're in a different part of the world.

Crysis 2 - By far the best in game Music ever. Hans Zimmer you are a God.
If you enjoyed this one and haven't played the first like allot of people, I really recommend it, it's even better in my opinion.

I hope that Crysis 3 explains why the Ceph in the first game look a lot different that in the second.
I still think Crysis is better and more enjoyable. It has nothing to do with different genres I just evaluate them by how much fun I have playing them.
@thevilkids yes, if your PC have enough power, it can run on Win XP. In fact, Battlefield 3 is the only "big" shooter that won't run on XP.
