Graphics are great, but if you took the maps and put them in killzone3 it would be great also, it's the map design not the game engine. And I'd have to say considering everything that the Crysis2 engine sucks, because of it's AI and character animations. We are talking lame, Killzone3, Uncharted2, all the recent games had vastly supperior animations and AI. But i'm still enjoying the game, it has a Half Life 2 feel to it, but after seeing one too many 'limbo deaths' ( dead guys stuck in a limbo pose), I stopped taking the game seriously. And the aliens don't do anything for me either. So maybe an 8-8.5 so far (near the hive) because I am enjoying it. By comparison, Red Dead was a solid 10 for me, Killzone3 was a 9.2 but I haven't tried the multiplayer yet.
