Crysis 2

OH-MY-GOD!

I'll tell you this is you are looking for a new benchmark ball buster then look no further. The game is absolutely breath takingly gorgeous! Holy Shit man!
As with The Crytek 3 engine it is extremely GPU dependent. So you don't really need that beefed up of a processor you just need a nice GPU. Keep that in mind when setting your graphics settings.

But the game is just awesome. Gameplay is improved in a lot of little nifty ways than Crysis 1. First off there is no more Strength mode. Strength is only actively used for super jump, which instead of having to switch to strength mode you just hold down space, sprinting and power kicks. You use Q and E to switch between armor and stealth. IMO this helps the game play a lot. It was a little annoying in the first game to have to keep switching between the three. Now you just have to keep a watchful eye on your energy when stuck in a tricky situation. Down to 20 energy and absolutely need your Maximum Armor....Do I sprint...will I make it to that cover? Will Armor fail on me half way there and I'll get pummeled. These are the situations the game brings you into and requires you to think about your attack every time. Speaking of which when approaching new areas you usually do so from elevated areas or dimly lit areas. Giving you the option of going into Tactical mode with your visor, scoping the area and tagging enemies locations.

Meh...I usually just jump down in stealth mode and start wrecking havoc. This game is most certainly a must buy if you're a die hard FPS fan like myself. The musical Score is just...mmm mmmm mmmmmm GOOD! The opening scene will have you going "OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY TEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE" Like a kid in a candy store. The music just adds to that effect.

Solid 9.8 Mongeese bites. EA and Crytek hit gold with this one.
