Closing Comments
Crysis 2 bears the weight of heavy expectations on its shoulders.

Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game. It's well animated and the effects are great, but light is always the star of the show.

Fantastic sound effects and positional audio are complimented by one of the best orchestral scores I've ever heard in a game.
