Aaron gets stuck in to Crysis 2, the next benchmark-setting title from Crytek…

It really does look that good.

This is one fine looking title.

Play it, already!

This time, events take place in the urban sprawl of New York City.

Your objective is to aid a scientist named Nathan Gould.

Your mission doesnt start well, though, as your submarine is attacked and youre left for dead.

From then on, youre set loose in NY, with some groovy nanotech powers to play with.

This mixture of abilities is implemented brilliantly, and all modes are easy to activate.

Whats more, so accessible and useful are these that you soon develop an almost instinctive feel for them.

The options are all there, and often these involve good tactics and judicious use of your suits abilities.

Hopefully, this can be patched up a bit in future.

And when youve ploughed through the single player, theres always the multiplayer to go at too.

Crysis 2will be released on 25th March and can bepre-ordered from the Den Of Geek Store.
