lol, yep, just contacted Steam regarding a refund for my pre order of Crysis 2...... 
The final straw was using my gamespy id (InFlicT666) in the game only to be told the user name cant have numbers at the start... Like mine doesn't. WTF?

Here's what happened to me:
Started the demo from Steam, watched lengthy promo/tutorial.
It could have been summarised thus:
E = Stealth
Q = Armour
The suit energy level depletes with use
Watch out for power-ups & bonuses.
Went to try demo, as far as I can recall I've never had a gamespy account so I thought I'd create a new account.
15 minutes later the 'Creating Account' window is still up, I couldn't exit so started Task manager and shut crysis demo down. This gave me a BSOD.
Try again, this time my router froze up, red led instead of a a green one. Disconnect DC plug and power up/reset router again.
Tried again, managed to skip the tutorial and attempted to create an account again but it tells me my e-mail address is already in use so I request password retrieval as I have no record anywhere of an account with either Gamespy or Mycrisis.com
'Server busy'
Not really impressed so far.
And I didn't realise it was a multiplayer demo otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, I'm only really interested in the single player game at this stage.
I'll wait awhile and see what everybody thinks of it before purchasing.

Well, it's ok, but so far I'm not feeling the 'wow!' factor I remember from Crysis 1. The first evidence of it being a console port came at startup, during the brightness adjustment:
I really had my hopes up, even knowing it might be a port. And now after playing it a while, I'm pretty convinced it is a port, the graphics just don't seem that impressive, not horrible, but nothing like the trailers, and it didn't seem much better than what we had four years ago. I think I might reinstall Crysis 1 for a comparison. So far the maps have been small, no freedom to just wander around aimlessly for hours exploring stuff - more evidence of a console port, since consoles probably can't handle huge maps. And another thing I don't like - no way to do a quick save.....because consoles don't have F keys
Oh well. To be fair though, it's still fun. It's just missing something.

Taking notes here....
Still undecided.
btw, Play.com are offering it, in stock now, for 27 quid, which means it's 3 quid cheaper than Steam and you get a hard copy.

I'm finding that after getting past my initial disappointment over what it's not (a modern, DX11 native PC game, and a sequel that would top Crysis 1), I'm enjoying it for what it is, 4 year old gaming technology maybe, but we had fun with games back then, it just wasn't dumbed down to console standards. There's a lot of nice explosions, gapping holes in buildings with smoke billowing out after explosions. I entered a big room in a skyscraper just as all the windows blew out from an explosion outside, and then the wind came blowing in, whistling and moving stuff around inside. That was well done. It has little details, machines you can activate for no useful reason - copy machines, computer monitors, telephones, ATM's that spit out money etc, every time I walk past a copier I'm compelled to activate it, even when there's action happening in the vicinity that should have all my focus, I just have to turn on the copier
