Then the Prophet who are frustrated with his situation that has been attacked by a virus, leaving the high-tech armor Nano Suit 2 to Alcatraz and then committed suicide. Alcatraz adventure begins.


Gameplay 

This game has gameplay that gives us the freedom in the face of a variety of combat situations in the game area which is less extensive with the previous series. But the design area is now more detailed and has many high places so that we can apply more tactics in attacking the enemy. if it was gunfire from the front, side slip to the side and rear, or even from top to more easily wipe out the enemy.

And keep in mind, the enemy AI in this game is quite clever, they also will try to find the best angle to attack kita.Bahkan they will also fire a signal to summon reinforcements. But sometimes they look dazed or stuk. In this game, we will be dealing with some of the characteristics of the enemy, such as the CELL troops who have sophisticated tactics and weaponry, the example helicopter, car combat. Then the alien has a quick and agile movements. And there is also equipped Alien armor so we also need heavy weapons to eliminate it.


However this is not intimidating, with the ability of High-Tech Nano Suit 2, which is used by Alcatraz, making the game a fun style. We can use the couple as Stealth ability which can make us remove ourselves, Armor that can make us invulnerable to bullets, Visor that can track enemy positions and weapons and ammunition are scattered in the game, the Power which can make us run faster and even jump higher. In Crysis Nano Suit 2 with the latest, more simplified control mechanism. As in the Space key to jump will take us to jump higher and so also with the Shift key to run that will automatically be run faster without the need to activate the ability of Power.

Intense gunfight going back encountered in Crysis 2, we can also take refuge to a variety of objects scattered on the game environment. But keep in mind the object can be destroyed if fired constantly. In the shelter, we just need to get closer to the object and pressing the right mouse button to aim and shoot enemies from behind the object.


Weapon customization features also can still be found in this game to improve the accuracy of the shot, the destructive, long range shooting with various types of weapon accessories, such as silencers mensematkan, binoculars, laser sights, until the extra ammunition clip. Besides, now we can also customize the Nano Suit with several new capabilities, such as tracking direction perluru who fired the enemy so that we can avoid it, increases your armor to reduce the pain when landing from a height, muffled sound of footsteps when you run, or speed up the regeneration of health and energy Nano Suit. To be able to unlock that ability, we need to collect points Nano Catalst can be obtained by eliminating the Alien.     

One thing that is interesting again, this game also presents many scenes in the game with the Hollywood style. It is enough to give a sense of horror to the situation of the game environment as alien invasions, such as when touring the streets of New York is destroyed, the scene suddenly appear alien aircraft that pass over the sky, the subway is bouncing and causing a massive explosion, high-rise buildings sky that burned and collapsed to menguncang road. Shocks in the game just feels to us because the game screen also rocked.


Graphic  

By using CryEngine 3, animation and particle explosions look real then it is also natural-looking puddle up lighting effects also appear realistic. The design was presented luxury game area with various kinds of objects that were created to be destroyed and can diinteraksi, such as barrels of chemicals that can explode when shot up to an ATM machine that we can access and spend money. When the game is launched and until this article was written, this game is only equipped with a DirectX 9 alone was visible luxury. While DirectX 11 is still in the stage of quality workmanship that will promise the graphics are certainly more stunning and more realistic anymore. This game also has dipaking with 3D features are of course also requires hardware support to be able to enjoy it.
