Well made it to Rank 10 and I have to say Im not imprssed with this demo.
Graphics:
Ive seen and heard how great the all mighty Crysis Engine is...and I expected to be blown away..but really..to me theres nothing really special Im seeing here. The water over the HUD is cool but its the same animation over and over. Maybe this map wasnt the best for graphics but like my buddy said "it reminds me of crackdown". Also whats with the framerate dropping so badly in the "battle view" mode thing..what ever the hell its called...
Sound:
The words and phrases said by other players is a joke. By that I mean, for an example, in Bad Company or even COD you get allie players yelling things like "reloading" or "we got a man down". Normaly they sound convincing and can help draw you deeper in the game. With this demo..its really just laughable (is that a real word). Also the sound effects in the game just plain suck. It reminds me of the Goldeneye game for the Wii were guns dont have a distinguished sound.
Gameplay:
The gameplay seems to be ok...when your not having lag issues. From what a lot of people Ive played with and a lot of friends who have tried and gave up on the demo...the lag is pathetic. It ranges from little lag to a time a full 2 sec delay. I know all game have lag but when a game features the COD killcam and even the kill cam is lagged...something is really wrong. Also I dont know if its just me or not but the control pads button sensitivity is off. Ill try to hit the down button and instead pull out my grenade. I dont have this problem with other games.
Map:
The map itself is cool. There isnt a real corner or area where a team can have the upper hand. Multiple paths to get to another area. Overall I really like the map itself.
Final Score: 7/10
I know this is a demo..so dont flame for this. But a demo is suppose to represent the final product. Medal of Honor showed how terrible the game was going to be..while Bad Company 's demo was so good my buddy bought an xbox just for it. The lag and hit detection will more then likely be worked out..hopfully before the games release.
My big complaint is...It doesnt feel like anything new. I honestly felt like i was playing Shadowrun and Blacklight: tango down. I actually played a game of Blacklight after playing crysis 2 and...well...still enjoyed Blacklight..and really dont care about Crysis..I cant explain it but...tho the graphics arent the same...the games feels the same..Same sorta look/style..
So this is my review...hope it helps..
btw..someone needs to tell the GDI that Crysis stole their ION Cannon Satellite.
