While we know a lot of you are now just passing the time until Battlefield 3, it's far from the only big shooter in Electronic Arts' stable. Yesterday saw the launch of Crytek's latest offering, Crysis 2 and we're happy to report that it's looking pretty good.

Here at AusGamers, we're well aware that there's still a large element of our community that expects more out of their first person shooters than a half-baked console-port and most of us here share that same view. So once again, we've put seasoned multiplayer shooter veteran Nachos on the case, to give Crysis 2 a thorough critique.

Being a Crysis game and a first-person shooter, it is still best played on the PC and, thankfully, Crytek has paid a decent amount of respect to its roots. Crytek has done an admirable job of walking that fine line between a multiplatform experience and giving PC gamers some love.

Check out the full very in-depth Crysis 2 review here on for the complete low-down from a PC-centric perspective. And if you own a console, don't be scared off, as this write-up comes from the perspective of having played both the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game at length.
