Crysis 2 takes place in 2023,[9] three years after the events of the first game, in a destroyed New York City[10] which has since been evacuated due to alien infestation.
On the other hand, the reviewers criticized the story, noting "the dialogue often feels over the top and the characters feel flat and uninteresting. Unlike the original Crysis, which allowed the user to extensively change various graphical settings, Crysis 2 at launch provided fewer options. [66][67] Due to an unresolved bug in Crysis 2, DirectX 11 mode does not function properly on Windows 8. CELL forces, led by Commander Dominic Lockhart, attack Alcatraz, believing him to be Prophet. Alcatraz successfully turns the spire's bio-weapon against the Ceph, causing the death of all the Ceph in the city. And it's not even that the final version of the game gets leaked, you know? Alcatraz, while unconscious, communicates with Prophet, whose memories, experiences, and personality had been stored in the suit. On August 23, 2023, a United States Marine Corps Force Recon unit is deployed into New York City to extract former Crynet employee Doctor Nathan Gould, who may have vital information on combating the Ceph, the alien race that is trying to destroy humanity. Believing Alcatraz is Prophet, Gould contacts Alcatraz and asks him to meet up at Gould's lab. "Developer Crytek has a deserved reputation for pushing gaming hardware to the brink, and its debut work on PS3 is first-rate," it says.

They concluded that "it would simply be a shame not to call this the best action game so far this year. Alcatraz assaults the floating section of Central Park, and makes his way to the alien spire at its center, which serves as a dispersal point for the alien spores. Thus, Alcatraz has a short period of time to end the conflict with the Ceph before the missile is launched.
