What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It also follows on from the plot of Crysis 1 as well.
Crysis 2 has AMAZING graphics; this could easily pass as a game being released recently.
The gameplay for Crysis 2 is excellent; the guns feel heavy and sturdy, as does Alcatraz.
The game play has all of the regular FPS style features.
To add icing and a cherry to the cake, the story is well worth paying attention to, and the soundtrack is simply incredible.
As opposed to its predecessor, this installment in the franchise has excellent optimization that sees to it that 60 FPS is achievable through the whole game, thanks to the closed maps and downplay of tessellation.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
