My graphics are set to maximum, so you definitely won't have any problem
running it :)
I heard a rumour that Crysis 2 can run on a lower spec machine than
Crysis, I doubt it's true though...

It can be true, if you have the option of using lower settings almost
everywhere.

Even more strange: A friend of mine says he has 2 systems 1 running Vist
a
and the other slightly higher spec running win7 64bit. He says it runs
better on the Vista machine.

That's not especially strange.
I've seen game benchmarks where a quad-SLI system (which theoretically
should be 4x faster) comes out a few percent *slower* than a single GPU
system. I've seen processor benchmarks where older designs with lower
specs perform better than newer ones. It depends on what the task is.

It's definitely true. I still can't run Crysis smoothly, but the sequel
benchmarks fine on my machine.
How's the gameplay though? Is it fun?

This.
According to ZP, the game environment is less open-plan, which "makes it
ludicrously easy to steath straight past half of the enemies".

Game-play is more linear with inaccessible areas because you're in a city,
but that helps to concentrate on the mission at hand. You can also
overturn cars by kicking them which can be quite fun. Selecting cloak and
armor is a lot quicker with shortcut keys. Water physics are also
improved, most notable in the intro.
Cut-scenes are so well integrated into the action that I would rather call
them events than cut-scenes - and it is very well done integrating
seamlessly into the action. =)
I would have have preferred a more GTA-like open-ended approach, but I say
that about all games ;)
The only negative thing I can think of is that the leaves aren't as
detailed as in Crysis. But then again the roads and buildings are way
better than Crysis.
I want to get to know the Sandbox editor well, because there is a project
that I'd like to do with it =)

You should know better than to trust Yahtzee's opinion on gameplay ;)
He's extremely entertaining to listen to, but whether or not a game is
"fun" is so extremely subjective - and his biases are so extreme - that
it's like reading a movie review to find out if you'll enjoy the movie,
that is, an exercise in futility.

I find his opinions to be /usually/ quite insightful. I don't always
agree with him, but he's usually right.
