Crysis 2 on console is better than Crysis on PC
The Crysis and The Sims franchises were for years a PC staples as both the games were made for the mouse and keyboard of a computer and did not count spin-offs. For most of the time the two games remained on PCs.
Today, in the era of high-definition consoles, there are features that can handle whatever the PC games can throw at them and as a result there came games such as Crysis 2 and The Sims 3. These two games are now making way for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
Graphically, Crysis 2 looked beautiful than the original Crysis. It is set in New York and has done a great job in rendering the major landmarks of the city. There are several places captured with details such as the MetLife Building and the Grand Central Terminal.
The directional pad is superb and the controls are interesting. The left and the right direction pad allows the players to cycle through weapons. Killing enemies is not a big problem and avoiding their gunfire. In fact the the controls are almost transparent.
