Its not the setting that I like, I think both games settings are great. It was brave of them to have a setting so unlike the first game, but I just think the gameplay and controls have been refined a hell of alot. Crysis to me looks current gen, but doesnt feel it, when playing, whereas Crysis 2 does. You move so damn slow in Crysis and you try and stay in cloak mode and advance slowly and the second you unlock you get spotted from f**king miles away by an enemy you cant even see making all that slow progress a complete waste of time. If you do manage to get up close to take a few guys out youve only got a shitty melee move and no stealth kill option.
I enjoyed Crysis but I found myself just giving up on the stealthy approach and just letting all hell break loose because it always ultimately ended up like that anyway and playing stealthily didnt feel rewarding to me in that game. If anything it felt like a chore. In this game its great planning your attacks.
