Short description
The world has been ravaged by a series of climatic disasters and society is on the verge of total breakdown. Now the aliens have returned, with a full invasion force bent on nothing less than the total annihilation of mankind, starting by trying to rip the heart out of Earth’s most iconic city.
In New York, terrifying alien invaders stalk the streets and a nightmare plague strikes down the city’s myriad inhabitants with brutal epidemic speed. The city’s systems are in chaos, its streets and skyline are smashed and in flaming ruin. This is New York City like you’ve never seen it before.
Neither paramilitary law enforcement nor the might of the US military machine can stand against the invaders, and all who choose not to flee are dead men walking. Just to survive in this maelstrom of death will require technology beyond anything any modern soldier has ever seen.
One man will inherit that means to survive. One supersoldier, wielding the combat enhancement technology of the future with Nanosuit 2, will make the last stand to save humanity from destruction in the urban jungle that is New York City.
Long description
The Nanosuit moves from lush island jungles to the gritty streets of New York in this sequel to Crytek’s ground-breaking first-person shooter.
EA’s Crysis set a new visual standard for PC gaming, creating dense jungle landscapes and gorgeous scenery for players to tear through in their high-powered Nanosuit packed with superhuman powers such as incredible strength and speed. Its sequel brings a drastic change of pace by leaving behind colourful jungles in favour of the more urban feel of New York City. With alien invaders now roaming the streets, players must use their superhuman powers to deal with the threat across the city.
The trusty Nanosuit has been given a healthy upgrade, allowing players to alter their tactics at a moment’s notice by switching between multiple abilities in real-time. Alien force intelligence has also been upgraded, seeing enemies use group tactics and give realistic responses to each threat. Players can take their Nanosuit online to fight against other super-powered opponents across the globe.
Crysis 2 marks a drastic change of scenery for the classic first-person shooter, but keeps the same dynamic combat and super-human abilities that made the original so compelling.
