Best FPS since Halo!
PostedDecember 5, 2009
You are Nomad, part of the U.S Special Forces. Your mission is to search and rescue, but what happens when the mission goes bad and it becomes a race for survival? Crysis for the PC has the potential to become the best FPS game out there! The best aspect of the game and what makes this come to life is the Nanosuit you are equiped with. This suit is the most deadly and powerful weapon in your arsenal. With the four different choices of Maximum Armor, Maximum Speed, Maximum Strength, and Stealth, you can overcome, adapt, and survive any encounter. The challenge presented in this game all depends on your mastery over the Nanosuit and it's modes. The graphics in this game are simply amazing! I have never seen anything like this, it's simply the most realistic thing. The length to this game is pretty good, it will keep you busy for a bit. The storyline is epic and will keep you guessing the whole way. The controls are great and very easy to learn. The interface is another great aspect of this game, you can interact with just about anything in this game. The sound is also great, with bullets and explosions giving you that nice and war like sound you want! Overall, I'd give this game a 10 out 10, and would recomend it to anyone who enjoys a great shooter!

Experiment and and be innovative
PostedAugust 8, 2009
Crysis has its potential to be the most exciting and innovative game ever created. Pitifully, it is the game that some players have missed the fun factors of it because of the following reasons. 1. The game does inform player to use the Nano Suit's (the suit that gives you special power such as super strength, super speed, and cloaking ability) power, such as using Maximum Strength to jump high and use Maximum Speed to move faster, but that is only some of the suit's capabilities. How can we possibly guess that you can knock off a person by tackling while using Maximum Speed? Did the game tell you that you can kill a guy instantly by punching to their head while using Maximum Strength? There are many possibilities hidden within the mechanics of this sandbox game. But the game has been a bit too uninformative against the player. 2. Some players just want the fun part of a game immediately. So those people might have not enjoyed the game because they could not figure out the various ways to play this game and the potential the game has. For example, C4 (a plastic bomb that can attach to a surface) can be turned into a grenade by attaching it to a throwable object such as a barrel. Another possibility is that you can do this terrorist suicide attack, which is basically about tackling by using a vehicle so you can blow up your enemy. Off coarse, you have to get out of the vehicle if you don’t want to get blown up with your enemies. 3. This has been mentioned by allot of reviewers, but it is true that the game’s requirement is pretty high even for today's standards. This may lead to a conclusion that Crysis's graphical achievement is unimpressive. Because some people say that requirement for this game is way higher than the quality of its graphics. For this reason, many people have avoided this game or gave up because the game runs so slow. So the player must experiment and be innovative at what ever he/she does in this game in order to enjoy what this game has to offer. If you have enough creativity, you could even enjoy the fight with the infamous aliens, which has been scolded by many players that they are boring and annoying to fight with. The game is also challenging, even though some may criticize that game is easy because the Cloak Mode is overpowered. The enemy AI tries to surround you constantly so that you can't just run up straight to them. In some stages you have a chance to use tanks and futuristic aircraft known as VTOL and explore some sort of alien hideout. Although the boss fights aren’t compelling because the first boss can be too easy and you would barely use the power of your Nano Suit. The game engine isn't perfect especially its physics program. You may even die from a slight collision with a movable object. But this happens only one or two times during the gameplay. But it may occur allot especially when the game is not patched. The sound design of Crysis is impressive. It really makes the gun fight realistic. You can almost feel its recoil shock when you hear the blasting sound of the firearms. Grass and other plants also make the sounds that deceive you to make you feel like you are actually in a jungle. The story of this game isn't really special. There isn't much character progression in this story. The story does not solve any major problems and it doesn't give any clear answers to the player. Even that being said, the story gives enough motivation to make the player progress through missions by giving some great looking cut scenes, which has realistic animations, stunning graphics/effects and good, if not great acting. To sum this up, Crysis is an excellent game that demands creative mind and innovation so that you can have hell of a fun within it. It is clear that the game developer Crytech has paid allot of attention to every elements in this sandbox game except for its story line and boss fights. So if you are willing to spend your time by experimenting to find out possible ways to beat the crap ou

Astounding
PostedSeptember 6, 2008
Crysis is definitely a game I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the FPS genre or a good adventure. Crysis shines in a number of area's. The most notable of these is its graphics. They are unmatched by ANYTHING yet seen on the market and will leave you in awe of the realistic feel of it. Everything looks stunningly real, no compromise. Crysis also brings a fun little twist of game play to the table: Adaption. The player must change the suits settings in real time (which is made very simple and easy to do) in accordance to the current situation. Each setting will serve them differently and is to be used when needed whether its defense, speed, strength, or stealth. Beware though, this games graphics will push your system to the limit. If you don't have a high end system your computer may have trouble or not run Crysis at all. The story is a Sci-Fi themed action laced adventure. Something strange is going on somewhere on this island... It's your job to find out. However I must say, the fact this game is a part of a trilogy does leave you thirsting for more. The story is thin at times and some times boorish. Other times you find yourself lost in the revelations to be found. As mentioned, the game play is based on adaption. This also pertains to difficulty. With the right tactics a player can take out a huge amount of opponents if he handles himself properly. The adaption makes for some satisfying and wonderful game play that any one would enjoy. Now early in the game you will probably be bored with some of the environments... One sea side crummy village to the next, all filled with angry Koreans. Not to worry, the game makes up for it later in some astounding areas and interiors. Overall I like Crysis. There are other games I like more, but Crysis is definitely some where in my favorites. The adaption is really in there, it's not just a gimmick, the graphics will take your breath away and the story will leave you dying for the sequel. There are two reasons to buy Crysis. Reason one is because everything written above makes for one kick ass game. Reason two is that if your PC can run it, you have just earned nerd bragging rights. Congratulations.
