Crysis 2 gets first review score from OXM

Crysis 2 isn't here yet, but it's so close we can almost feel it right in our hands. Almost, but not quite. You know who's been lucky enough to actually do hold it in their hands? OXM. Yep, they got to play the game already, in effect giving the the opportunity to give out the first review score for the much-awaited FPS sequel.

 

 

So what rating did they give the game? An impressive and very curiousity-inducing 9/10. The latest issue of OXM justifies this score by saying that the "some of the most exciting, angry and satisfying action you'll ever have" comes from the nice balance served up by the multiplayer mode.

 

 

The single-player mode isn't about to be left out in all the fun, though. "As you progress, streets rupture, buildings tilt and fall," and as you find yourself in the middle of all this devastation (snuggled comfortably in your nanosuit), you'll find that it's "both massively empowering and intelligently balanced by the need to manage its energy levels."

Sounds pretty enticing stuff, indeed! You can check out the full review of OXM as soon as the magazine hits the stands this Thursday. Crysis 2 hits the market in a couple of weeks -- March 22nd for North America, and March 25th for Europe -- so be ready for more deluge of review scores and last-minute information from all over.

From what I've seen from the multiplayer demo so far it shows promise. I'm still debating between getting this on PS3 or PC. My PC can run this smoothly in hardcore but my friends are on the PS3. Also the "Server is full" message in most multiplayer lobbies in PC really ticks me off.

The MP demo is terrible so i'm not really sure how this got a 9/10. Guess the gaming standards are getting low.

Yo SickPuP, im assuming you tried the console MP demo? It was a beta to test out what people thought, the PC demo was nice and responsive and worked really well with the slickest graphics ive ever seen! (i thought). Havent tried the console demos, but I imagine Crytek ironed out most of the issues raised by players, so i would have thought the game is great. Also crytek are generally amazing at making games so I can safely assume this will be a no-brainer. Looking forward to buying my copy (in june :P)!!

i doubt he was talking about performance and more gameplay

the mp was decent, not brillant, they shouldve went further with the movement (sliding climbing element)

im more interested in the single player
is that foolish

i tend to enjoy Armageddon city type games

Well, it is a demo so I don't think every feature is there. Still gameplay is decent.

Too many people are basing the console demo opinions of the first demo that came out in january. Crytek put a new demo up recently and it is a vast improvement. The two maps were beautiful, and the game played very nicely (no lag whatsoever).
