A Powerhouse of a Game.

When Crysis 2 was first announced, I was excited. However, soon after that I found out that Crytek was releasing it on consoles..which I wasn't excited for. The first Crysis was a revolutionary PC game, bringing most PC's at the time to their knees, and I think a lot of people were expecting this game to do the same. However I would can say this with 100% certainty, that this game is the best looking game out on consoles right now. Even surpassing Killzone 3.
Story - 8/10
This is the only lacking part of the game, unfortunately I think Crytek got a bit lazy and gave us a silent main character (works well for Half-Life, not this game). Now the first half of this game is pretty average. Its not until you get about half-way done with the game when it really starts to pick up. Large-scale human vs alien battles, buildings collapsing all around you. It almost plays like a movie.
Gameplay - 10/10
Very, very fun gameplay. Like they said, you have dozens of ways of approaching missions in this game, ranging from stealthy take-downs to to going balls-out Rambo on them. The nano-catalyst system is pretty cool as well, allowing you to switch up your powers (sorta).
Graphics - 10/10
Like I said before, these are the best looking graphics on the consoles right now. Truly beautiful, even if most of the game takes place in a partially destroyed New York, lol.
Multiplayer - 9/10
If you're looking for an alternative to Call of Duty or Halo, then this is your game. I've played the multiplayer for several hours, and I'm still having fun with it. Nothing is really overpowered, and the game made camper's lives very, VERY hard. While it is a fun multiplayer experience, it is not for everyone.
