Somehow, through technical sorcery by the hands of Cryteks super-nerds, Crysis 2 is not only possibly the most amazing-looking console game ever, but it even does so without creating a reality-s*cking singularity inside your PS3 or 360. It looks even better on PC, but whether it will stutter like Colin Firth depends on your machines muscle. Weve played all three versions of the game, but its hard to say how the average PC will handle it since we played on a mysteriously-specced mega-machine, but * +

wow was it crisp and luscious. So Cryisis 2, any way you play it, looks stunning in 2D. But hold your nanosuit-clad horses, because Cryteks how the heck did they do that CryEngine 3 also pulls off 3D so near-flawlessly we still cant believe it works the way it does. * +

How do we know this for sure? We have played through roughly 90 of the game in 3D on the 360. Our review wont be up until Tuesday, but for now we just wanted to share how this may just be the best 3D tech weve seen on any game. Yes, the 3D requires a compatible TV, but surprisingly it doesnt require those expensive active-shutter glasses. We wore crummy-old plastic polarized glasses, and after a comparison a55 essment, we think Crysis 2s 3D is miles ahead of Killzone 3s even with Killzone using * +

using those fancy-pants active-shutter glasses. With Killzone we noticed some significant jaggies that dont seem to synch well with the 3D, as well as some not-insignificant ghostly double images around much of the environment. It also hurt our eyes something fierce after only a couple of minutes. * +

With Crysis 2, while the 3D isnt utterly free of flicker or a slightly darkened screen, the effect is much, much cleaner. We were able to play the game continuously for hours with only slight eye discomfort (of course this will vary from person to person). The shocking thing is that the game seems to suffer next to zero image or framerate degradation. If its there, we couldnt detect it. So you can see why were in disbelief: Crysis 2, running on a 360, with a smooth framerate, in 3D, with the * +

(as far as we could see) graphical fidelity as 2D. Its astonishing. During the brief parts of the campaign that we played in 2D, we found ourselves jonesing to put it back in 3D like some heroin addict that needs to inject Horse straight into his eyeba11s. * +

So there you have it: the game looks unbelievable whether in 2D, 3D, or any platform of your choice. Is the game good? Youll have to wait until Tuesday for our review. * +
