Its definitely not your typical FPS but in my opinion after playing this and Homefront, Crysis 2 is easily the better choice (if you had to pick). They're both very different. Crysis2 has a lot more room for skillful gameplay than majority of the shooters I've every played due to the armor/suit cloaking and various other abilities, wide range of weapons and attachments, and especially the fact that it has 3 fixed killstreaks and a health/energy meter that if not used properly will surely get you killed. SOOO... since I rambled on for a bit, I'd say since Battlefield 3 isn't coming out for a while and BLOPS (lol) in my opinion has lost its go to game appeal for myself, that buying Crysis 2 would be a good choice and won't leave you with regret. The campaign is short but a great one and the multiplayer is where I think you can get a lot of entertainment hours and a good challenge given that its far from the typical FPS. Sorry if that was confusing or indirect, but my simple answer had I not gone on the tangent would be yes, worth it.
