Well nearly four years later after much waiting we are on the brink of Crysis 2. It's predecssor will forever remain the ultimate benchmarking game; many a machine have tried and failed to effectively run the first Crysis at the sixty frames per second of legend mark. After four years many gamers wonder if Crysis 2 will follow in it's footsteps and spur any to go out and buy newer PC's. I for one can say that for what its worth both Crysis 1 and 2 are truly visually stimulating and if you plan on playing these games I suggest doing so on a machine of the highest caliber or on console if that is out of your reach.
Currently there is a multi-player demo out available for download (PC, PS3, XBOX360) and is free to play to satiate that itchy trigger finger of your. After much prodding and coaxing from people asking me about the game I figured I would set aside some time to give it a go and take a break from my other games and boy am I glad I did. The scenery and game play is simply breathtaking; I am positive without a doubt that this game will prove to be a strong competitor in the FPS genre this year against COD, Battlefield,and Halo franchises. The PC demo features two maps Skyline & Pier 17, coupled with two multi-player game modes to play: Team Instant Action and Crash Site. Team Instant Action pits two teams against one another in a team deathmatch style, while Crash Site has players defending alien drop pods like control points.
Feel free to head over to http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/1/demo for further information related to the demo and any questions you might have. If you don't have access to trying out this game for yourself I recommend making friends with someone who does because this is one experience you do not want to miss. With that being said be forewarned the learning curve for this game is pretty steep as you will pretty much be thrown head first into battle so there isn't much prep time to get acclimated to the flow of the game but once you get the hang of its subtle nuances i'm sure you be racking up headshots in no time. Not much else to say since its only a demo thats available so far so; full game release is slated for March 22. Cya in game....^_^
