Review: Crysis 2, PS3

Diposting oleh nangsa on Senin, 28 Maret 2011

A stunningly beautiful first-person shooter that arguably improves on an already impressive original.

That should be more than enough to set shooter fans on the road to their nearest gaming store, but for those of you who can hang on for a little more detail, here goes.

Alien invasions, cataclysmic viral outbreaks and one incredible customisable nanosuit go a long way to making this one of the top console shooters on the market right now.

Whether you want to go out all guns blazing, play the stealth game or tactically use the environment and items around you, the gameplay choice on offer is superb within each level-based scenario.

Firefights are intense but the AI enemies in campaign mode aren't as impressive as expected and things can be a little 'buggy' at times. However Crytek has done a great job of squeezing extra performance out of the PS3. It is easily the best-looking shooter of the year with good physics and incredible lighting.

Crysis 2 certainly plays slicker than its predecessor - released exclusively for the PC - and the game also includes support for 3D televisions.

All the lush visuals are complimented superbly by Hans Zimmer's dramatic orchestral score. Better known for his work on soundtracks for Christopher Nolan films Inception and The Dark Knight, Zimmer is no stranger to video games having also contributed to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Throw in an accessible and entertaining multiplayer mode and you have a cracking shooter package to consume, with an overall experience that more than matches those pretty looks.
