AgentBLUE here, just thought I should let you know I have downloaded this demo and been diligently testing it just for you. If you liked Crysis one for, let's just face it, it's awesomeness. Then I can guarantee you will love this little gem of a demo.
The graphics, as expected are beautiful, there is so much detail you could even enjoy staring at a wall. What I have found too is that even though the graphics are phenomenal, my rig doesn't have a problem with the fast paced action that is the multiplayer demo, which was my biggest fear for this game. And by no means do I have an amazing gaming rig either.Since this is a multiplayer demo there is no campaign as yet, but from what I have gathered it is a continuation from Crysis where, /SPOILER/ aliens are flying overhead in a mass' that blot out the sun from the end of the campaign./SPOILER/
Only one word comes to mind when I think of the game play for the multiplayer demo, hectic. It is very fast paced in the two maps available, Skyline and Pier. Both these maps are quite small but by no means bad. The use of the nano-suit is still a major part of multiplayer, although it does provide a bit of a learning curve. I found my self speed-boosting in to walls and sometimes over jumping my target with super strength.
But don't fret, this learning curve is something that you can easily overcome. One of my favorite, and most hated, features of the nano-suite is the invisibility capabilities. There is nothing more annoying than turning around to see this blurred movement in your vision then find an enemy fist playing friends with your face.
One other thing I have loved in the multiplayer is getting a head shot killcam, the kill cam has the bullet time for any headshots you may gain. So in other words you get to watch the bullet as it flies into your head with the only thought while watching the shot is "This can't be good....."
Pro-Tip: make sure you turn the armor on as soon as you start shooting, without armour on, you don't last long.

So in all this is a fantastic demo for Crysis 2, it defiantly shows off the capabilities of the game and leaves you wanting more. Crytek have really nailed this game by making it with Cryengine3. Crysis and its graphics will again set the benchmark even higher for games and gaming rigs over the world. I know I will be buying this game when it is released in late March, possibly early April for Aus. I highly suggest keeping an eye on this game.
On a side note for any Australia gamers there are AUS servers for this demo that are hosted by Internode.
