And its ...............what exactly?

It was hard not to be completely impressed when the first images and videos of Crysis appeared about 18 months ago. Scenes of lush jungles and towering alien war machines looked light-years beyond what seemed possible. Of course, the two questions that revolved around Crysis since its announcement were whether it would deliver on those visuals and whether it would deliver a game worthy of those fancy graphics. It turns out that the answer to both those questions is a resounding yes, as Germany's Crytek has proven that its 2004 hit Far Cry was no fluke. In fact, it was just the beginning from this studio. With its sophomore effort, Crytek has managed to deliver an incredibly advanced and exciting first-person shooter that practically rewrites the rules for the entire genre.


Welcome to the prettiest jungle that you have ever seen in a game. Notice that it's starting to snow?

Crysis is an alien invasion game set in the year 2020. An archeological team on a remote Pacific island is captured by an invasion force of North Koreans, and your US Special Forces team is dispatched to investigate and rescue the scientists. Clad in high-tech nanosuits capable of boosting your strength, speed, and armor, as well as cloaking you temporarily to the enemy, you're parachuted into a tropical paradise that's crawling with intelligent enemies and something else that's tearing both the North Koreans and US forces to shreds.


Crysis rewards smart, fast thinking.


The firefights are stunning, as well as challenging, whether you're tackling North Korean soldiers or alien war machines.

the gunplay and ballistics modeling make this shooter feel as if you're handling real weapons. Trying to hit a target at long engagement ranges is challenging thanks to weapon recoil and other factors. The North Koreans are encased in body armor, so they take some time to gun down, unless you aim for the head, which usually puts them on the ground. At your disposal is a variety of firearms, like shotguns and assault rifles. One of the neat aspects of the game is that you can fix up your weapons on the fly, adding scopes, silencers, and grenade launchers, provided you've found them. There are trade-offs for each add-on. Silencers let you take down guys quietly, though they reduce bullet damage, meaning you've got to make every shot count. Or flashlights mounted on your weapons might help you out in dark levels, but will give you away.

It's not just infantry combat, as you can hop into almost every vehicle in the game, as well as take part in an incredible tank battle.



Hope that review is good enough

Yea it's abit of a resource eater i'm afraid, 2 gig minimum on memory or you get freeze ups. I only have a gig at the mo and can play though i get loss in the game.

I gotta say the more i play this the more problems i find with it. Super suit is pointless the voice you hear every time you change the super suit's objective gets annoying real quick, there is no real bullet accuracy, the environments are really well done in fact to well as its a nightmare to find enemy bodies to loot for ammo in long grass, also the bodies disappear extremely quick.
There are some good points like I mentioned the environment is well made, also you can interact with almost everything like; throwing boxes, drums and outboard motors at the enemy, shooting out tires and fuel tanks on jeeps, trees fall down or break up when you shoot them so there are some real interesting parts to the game.

If i were to choose between this or CoD 4 I'd pick CoD 4 it maybe only a short game but i think the online part would keep me interested in it longer than Crysis ever would.

I just tried cod4, bit like a superduper counterstrike on the 1st level.
