Graphically, this is one of the shiniest games I've ever seen on console. Aside from that, like the first game, it is a pretty average FPS. You can now upgrade your NanoSuit, only by collecting crystals from killing aliens. Aliens that you take about half the game to actually more than five.

That's right. After all the trailers showing the alien invasion, there are entire three hour long sections where you spend the time fighting random soldiers instead of the aliens that are invading the city. The story is pretty average as you spend the entire time as a mute camera with a gun (No character) and all the other characters are as interesting and original as an alien invasion in a high profile American city.

This game is amazing, the single player campaign has a great plot of an alien invasion on earth and you the player must progress through levels getting closer to finding out more about the creater of the suit Hargreave. The amazing thing about story mode was the abilty to match a players style with weapon customization on the go when ever you like! As well as the suit custimazation, which you can unlock powers for by killing aliens.

The let down for me was the removal of vehicles in multiplayer, which are still there in the story mode. Multiplayers has still got many cool features with the arrival of the new guns, perks customization and the new create a class system that we got with the call of duty series. 4 Stars from me.

I was sceptical about how one of my all time favourite games Crysis would translate onto the console, as being known the world over for its tremendous need for excessive amounts of hardware on the PC; the type of power a console could not hope to come close to, and somehow I have come away impressed.

Graphically this is the best PS3 game Ive seen so far, the anti-aliasing is very good compared to a lot of the games that have come out recently (Black Ops in particular) which proved to be extremely disappointing. The lighting is brilliant, and the water is just as captivating as it was in the first game. I could drone on, but in essence, compared to Crysis 1 on PC, not as good, but in terms of console gaming, the best Ive seen.

When it comes to the game-play this game should not be taken for its attention to reality. On one hand the physics in the game are brilliant, and I stand impressed with the way the characters and objects interact the environment. Throwing around objects feels extremely realistic, and when sliding around to defect enemies down long hallways is ridiculously fun. In particular I noticed how the distance you can slide depends on the slope of the surface, making sliding down staircases stupidly amusing. If your looking to buy a game for its realistic weapons, this isn't the game for you. Although they all feel really nice to use, and all have recoil, and are even upgradeable on the spot which is awesome, but when looking down the scopes there is little to no movement. Now I assume this is to do with the fact that your wearing a super suit, but in the multiplayer particularly in the Sniper class, its very easy to shoot accurately. The way they have set the controls to work your nano suit are great, accept for trying to reach Select while in a tough game situation which can get irritating, I have no complaints about it otherwise.

The story is great, and I don't really want to ruin it, so ill leave the details out, but in summary, its mostly independent from the first, and new players will get along just fine with it.

The multiplayer is some of the most fun Ive had online since Counterstrike Source. The easy to use weapons, coupled with the nano suits abilities, and the inner city maps, make for one of the best online FPS experiences out there. If one were to draw comparisons, I would definitely have to bring up Halo, because that's the only thing remarkably close. If your a COD player, and buy this, give the different menu system and perks etc time to sink in, some of my friends found it hard at first, but a few hours later were having the time of their life. If your looking for Halo on the PS3, this is as close as your going to get at the moment.

Overall, the graphics are the best Ive seen for a shooter on the console, the game-play is ridiculously fun, the multiplayer is brilliant fun.

This is one of my favourite games I own on the PS3, and I recommend anyone who is a FPS fan to try it out, and even if your confused at first, stick it out, its worth every minute.
