The world has been ravaged by a series of climatic disasters and
society is on the verge of total breakdown. Now the aliens have
returned, with a full invasion force bent on nothing less than
the total annihilation of mankind, starting by trying to rip the
heart out of Earth’s most iconic city.
In New York, terrifying alien invaders stalk the streets and a
nightmare plague strikes down the city’s myriad inhabitants with
brutal epidemic speed. The city’s systems are in chaos, its
streets and skyline are smashed and in flaming ruin. This is New
York City like you’ve never seen it before.
Neither para law nor the might of the US
machine can stand against the invaders, and all who
choose not to flee are dead men walking. Just to survive in this
maelstrom of death will require technology beyond anything any
modern soldier has ever seen.
One man will inherit that means to survive. One supersoldier,
wielding the combat enhancement technology of the future with
Nanosuit 2, will make the last stand to save humanity from
destruction in the urban jungle that is New York City.
KEY FEATURES
New York New York: Crysis set the visual benchmark for PC games
that still stands today. Crysis 2 will redefine the benchmark on

urban jungle of New York City.

group coordination and group behaviour systems which give
realistic responses to your actions.

Multiplayer: World-renowned multi-player shooter
studio Crytek UK is going to reinvent multiplayer with the
dynamic intensity of Nanosuit 2. By using Nanosuit technology
the player has nearly unlimited ways to approach the dynamic
combat environment.
When Crysis came out in 2007, it was universally accled as the
most technologically advanced first-person shooter ever – a
status, you could argue, that it holds to this day. But not for
much longer, as Crysis 2 is coming – and destined to reach a much
larger audience, as it will be on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3,
as well as Crysis’ platform, the PC. And not only is it
jaw-droppingly high-tech, with astonishing graphics and
unprecedentedly flexible sandbox-style gameplay, but it also
manages to cram in a compelling storyline (no mean feat given
that, unlike almost all first-person shooters, it doesn’t force
you along a fixed path) and a variety of ground-breaking
multiplayer modes. If you seek the absolute state of the
first-person shooter art, you’ll find it in Crysis 2. Crysis 2
plays out in a very different environment from the jungle setting
of its predecessor: New York in 2023. It’s not exactly New York
as we currently know it, though: it has been evacuated following
an alien invasion, which has wreaked widespread havoc, damaging
and destroying many buildings, causing water-main rivers to run
down famous streets and so on. You take the controls of Alcatraz,
a Force Recon Marine equipped with version 2 of the fabled
Nanosuit, which has been extensively upgraded since Crysis.
Naturally, you’re a key part of the team of marines which is
attempting to rid New York of the huge, often mech-like aliens.
Nanosuit 2 still gives you the super-powers of your choice, but
has been extensively rejigged – Strength and Speed modes, for
example, have been combined into a new Power mode, and Cloak
mode, now enhanced with stealth melee kills and extra sensory
input, has become Infiltration. There are over 20 Nanosuit 2
modules, which let you shape it to your favoured play-style – be
it employing super-strength, speed and agility, stealth or a
combination of armour and heavy weapons. New modules include
Threat Awareness, which lets you see incoming bullet-trails
(handy if you’re being sniped), Proximity Alarm and Weapons
Spet (which speeds up your reloading).
Crysis 2’s multiplayer side is sure to attract a massive online
following, especially among those seeking something a bit
different. Although a classic Deathmatch-style mode, called
Instant Action, is present, along with Team Instant Action. The
other familiar mode is Capture The Relay. C Site is a King of
the Hill-type mode, but with a twist: each session starts with a
ship flying to a c-site, at which all the players converge.
And Assault is something completely new: an “asymmetric” mode, in
which soldiers without Nanosuits (but with machine-s) take on
a team with Nanosuits, but no weaponry other than pistols. The
Nanosuit-equipped players have to hack into terminals (making
them vulnerable), and Assault is a one-life mode, so is
tailor-made for the truly hardcore.
So, for the cognoscenti of first-person shooters, Crysis 2 is an
absolute must-buy. Who could resist that combination of
incredible, distinctive graphics, cutting-edge responsiveness and
general slickness, a rich storyline married to sandbox gameplay
that lets you choose your favoured fighting style, and
multiplayer which is varied enough to suit anyone?
