It’s the Nanosuit which is the single greatest feature of Crysis 2, as it elevates your character above the level of his prey and makes available impressive, emergent tactics.
#CRYSIS 2 PC COVER PLUS#
On the plus side, he does get a fancy new Nanosuit that lets him turn invisible, shrug off bullets, flip cars with a single punch and a whole lot more besides.
When Alcatraz’s squad is all but wiped out, it falls to him to complete the mission on his own – and that’s just for starters. They aren’t sure what they’re supposed to be rescuing him from, but it quickly becomes apparent than an alien invasion is underway, that CryNet mercenary forces have seized most of the city and that a mysterious disease has wiped out most of the populace. Both platforms tell the same story of a US marine, Alcatraz, whose squad is sent to rescue a scientist from New York. It also saves us from having to repeat some of the flaws we spotted in our Crysis 2 Xbox 360 review that are universal across both platforms, such as the idiocy of the plot-holes and dullness of the characters.Ĭontent-wise there’s no difference between Crysis 2 on PC and consoles. None of these issues are of critical importance, and Crysis 2 never collapses under the weight of them, but they're worth mentioning because they strip the title of some of its sheen. One of the most recurring issues was a physics glitch that struck when we power-kicked enemies sometimes, with the recoil somehow throwing us 50 feet to the right. On PC the enemies seemed keener to jump on their own grenades, however. The Xbox 360 enemies seemed prone to running back and forth in circles, vaulting repeatedly over the same concrete barriers. There are a number of flaws that are consistent across both platforms, especially regarding the AI, although there are subtle differences. The latter is gloriously slick, so that flipping between tactics and suit powers feels more like experimenting with bits of a toy box than slogging through yet another modern shooter. The former is marred by the speed of the interface and the frustration of long-distance combat fought with thumbsticks. Really going from console to PC is like playing two entirely separate games.
That may seem an obvious statement and the reasons for it are similarly blatant – mainly that the graphics and controls are both immeasurably improved – but it’s still astonishing just how much better it is on PC. We may as well be blunt and say outright that Crysis 2 is a lot better on PC than on consoles. Crysis 2 PC Review Publisher: Electronic Arts
