Good, but not THAT good.

Yeah it's pretty to look at. But for an engine requiring SkyNet it's not THAT pretty.

The ragdoll physics are horrible and the A.I. is not impressive. The enemy hit points are beyond grotesque; an enemy with no armor can easily take an entire clip to the chest and stand up and start firing back.

What's "new" about this game, though I don't think anything is, is the nano-suit. But ask yourself this: You have a weapon and are looking at an enemy you wanna kill. You have multiple ways of engaging thanks to nano-suit. What do you do? You fire the weapon. I bet you don't pick "maximum strength" jump onto the roof, bang through it, land behind the enemy and switch to "maximum armor" pick the weapon and fire it. You have options that don't add gameplay because they are, simply, unnecessary.

The variety is extremely poor; one type of Korean soldier and the same jeep over, over and over again. They probably spent 12.216 man-hours designing a rock in this game but it shows; there is absolutely no variety.

The story of the game? Just like the rest of them.

If you're thinking about buying this item, you obviously know that has the best graphics of any game to date. But the gameplay is fun as well, and some of the later levels with the aliens are pretty sweet too. Play the demo, the first half of the game is very similar to that.

Preformance:

I run this game at high on everything except objects quality (which i scale back to medium) and 2x anti-aliasing, at 1280x1024 (SXGA) resolution. Getting 30-44 fps average in non combat, and 6-20 fps in combat.

Rig:
3.2 GHz Pentium 4 with hyperthreading
XFX Nvidia 8800 GT alpha dog edition (not the xxx variant)
... and, well, that's all that you really need to know for your performance benchmarks.

Simply Awesome

This is a great game overall. The graphics and audio makes the game.
One hang up, after you are into the game 3/4 of the way, the load/save times become unbearable. I'm talking 10-20 minutes to load/save a game. I'm still waiting for a PC game to come out without hang-ups and need for patches. People pay a lot of money for these games and should be hassle free out of the box.
Hopefully a patch will be out soon and I can finish this awesome game!

Great Game Story not so much

Anyway Crysis is an amazing game instead of COD4's strict linearity you get moreless the exact opposite. You can play this game anyway you want if you wanted to you could get through a large amount of the game with little or no combat. The only bad part is after you discover the aliens and then it plays like COD4 not a bad thing but after playing Crysis for 5, 6 hours its kinda deppressing. And remember there is a demo so I say try it see if you like the gameplay and its also a great way to see if your computer can run it. Oh and the story is pretty much the PC's equal to Halo series on the console its really really bad. But it gets you to more Korean killing action the important part of the game.

Outstanding

I played this with my Alienware PC and it was outstanding. The graphics are the best I've seen. Smooth gameplay. Already wish there was a sequel.

Not all it was cracked up to be

Whilst it held my interest all the way through and was fun to play, it had several drawbacks. Installation was too fiddly, as I had to tune the game to optimise it for my system - even though it is a fairly high-end rig. This led to sub-optimal settings, which made the system not as good as the graphics on Far Cry and certainly far slower. This leads on to the next point; it was Far Cry with a different slant (eg invisibility, which made it too easy), which also led to my general feeling of "it was OK". I hope Far Cry 2 will address these things and return the 'wow' factor I got with Far Cry.

Great game, but a few annoying flaws

Crysis is an amazing game, well worth the money, but has a few annoying, near-fatal flaws. First up, the hardware issues. I have a 8800 GTS with nForce something-or-other motherboard (pretty new) and a Intel quad-core CPU (not Extreme), and I can run semi-stably on medium, becoming choppy on some parts. I'd really like to experience the best of it's graphics, but I hardly have the budget. Second, the story was blah and crapped out at times, also too short. The ending was too much of a Halo 2. Third, the multiplayer was absolutely horrible. It is still a great game, and hopefully the multiplayer issues can be fixed.

The more you play the more you love!

I waited a year for this game as well. After playing Far Cry, I couldn't wait for Crysis. At first I didn't like this game very much. I have a duo core 3.0 ghz; 2g ram; 8800 gtx in sli; Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty 5.1 Surround. A must-have to really enjoy this game. As I have played this game over the last six months I have gotten really good at operating the nano suit and weapons. Now I have to say that this game is the best shooter game I have EVER played! Call of Duty 4 is a extreme close second. I have all the EA Battlefield games as well as Tom Clancy series. After the patches and some tweaks in the game set up-I just love this game now! Trees falling down, buildings blowing up, blowing up vehicles and helicopters,and on and on. UNLIMITED ways to accomplish your missions in maps that a HUGH!

The physics and realism is unmatched. And sound effects are the best I've heard out of any game.

This game has cause people to love it or be dissapointed with it. Which ever camp you're in you have to accept that FPS gaming developers aren't going to let up. If you are a serious gamer your wallet better back it up!

Se ya on the Battlefield!

Crysis a new step up in gaming

Excellent graphics and very challenging game play. The game sets your misions, but to a great extent it leaves how you accomplish the mission to your own ingenuity.

awesome game but problems

obviously with graphics this beautiful there is going to be high system specs required. playing on a gaming pc no shooter compares except call of duty 4. it is a great game with great graphics. pretty much this game is perfect. there are however sdome issues. it took awhile patching it and stuff to get around cursor issues and game crashes. but a game this sweet deserves the time. this is a worthy game to spend your time on. go kill those commy north koreans, you wont regret it.
