Its hard to add anything more to what other positive reviews have already said. If you have the right box, it really blows you away. It does have a similar feel to Farcry, but the suit makes the game feel fresh and new. If you can run it well, you'd be a fool to skip it. Even on the hard setting, I wish it was a bit more difficult at times, but thats minor. If you don't use quicksave and only rely on the auto saves, that certainly can up the ante forcing you to really be careful to progress.

Fantastic game. Its hard to say if I enjoyed it more the COD4 or Gear of War, the other big holiday releases. All 3 of them are just great. Buy em all=)

simply one of the best shooters ever!

If u like first person shooters or wanna like it, you have to try this game as you can't go wrong with it! The only bad thing about it is its requirements! i personally had to do full system upgrade to what i used to call a monster gaming machine that turns to be a puppy prior the ultimate upgrade!

What can I say?... AMAZING!

Ok, so there's a lot of hype about this game on the net. It's all true! Crysis is amazing! The detail is out of this world. I just finished it and must say, the ending is a little less than climactic. Crytek is making it as part of a trilogy series, so there is more goodness to come from Crytek. If you haven't looked into it already, it's a pretty hefty game. You'll need a very modern, very fast system to handle it well. I have an Athlon X2 5600+, 2GB DDR2 800, and ATI's Radeon 2900XT 512MB Video card, and I have to set the game to medium spec with no AA in order to play without much lag. Sometimes even at those settings it jitters a little. I do have a large screen and like to set my resolution high, so that makes a difference too, though. Any other game, this system will eat it for lunch, so I was a little dissapointed at the performance, but that's what you get with a game as intense as this one.
If your system can hack it, Crysis is a definate buy! Probably the best PC game I've played yet. (And that's a pretty good portfolio.)

Crysis, one word amazing

I have read so many reviews, Most of the people that have the bad reviews should be shot, just because you don't have the money to invest into a computer doesn't mean you have to give this a bad rating. I have never played Farcry in my life. As I currently attending SCAD for Animation, I needed I decent computer intel duo core 6600 4 gigs of ram 660 watt power supply, 2900 pro and Fire Gl v7300 ( fire gl card rendering card not graphics) I am playing Crysis on high detail, going to sell my 4 gigs and get 8 gigs on then vista to play on directx 10. People should Also Buy SMART go to Newegg. The amount of time the team put in this was 4 years. So don't even complain enjoy the so to be masterpiece. The AI was incredible, graphics are amazing I definately was impressed all throughout

Crysis good even on 6+ year old computers

I have an old computer with a 2.01GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a Geforce 7600 GS, twin 80GB hard drives. And ran in 800x600.
And on the lowest settings, the game looks and acts beautifully.

Sure there's no shadows or light beams, but the Singleplayer Demo has convinced me it's good enough for the full version.

There was a few times it froze in places. But it never locked up on me.
I recommend this to any FPS fan out there. To give this game a chance, even if their computer is not as good as these top of the line ones.

Could be great, but way too buggy and powerhungry

This game was not ready for release. Maybe after a few patches it will work. Here are the problems-

1. Disc errors. My PC for some reason will not accept the Crysis disc as original and thinks it's a backup. Never had this problem with any other disc. So I have to keep trying to start the game. Usually it will start after 10 attempts.

2. The Korean enemies are bulletproof. Unlike great gameplay with the COD series, you can shoot the enemy point blank with 10 rounds and they will not go down. It's ridiculous. I even shot a few enemy soldiers with a tank when they were about 50 yards away and they didn't even flinch while their world exploded around them and they were directly in the sights.

3. Another bug is revealed when an enemy soldier will just stand there and stare at you as if you are not there (no, cloaking is not on). It's as if something in the game has not triggered for them to see you yet. Sure it makes an easy kill, but shows you the game is not ready for prime time.

4. The famous "cave block" bug on level 2. At the end of the level there is a cave you need to get through in order to proceed. Well, it doesn't let you and I was stuck until someone let me download their save for level 3. Ridiculous.

5. Game is far too powerhungry. I have a decent videocard (7800GT) and at the highest settings allowed the game looks far worse than COD4 and runs much slower.

All in all I would NOT buy Crysis now, but wait 1 year or more for the following reasons.

1. Let them fix the game first with patches
2. It will be cheaper then
3. You might have a system that it will look good on by then

It shows a lot of promise, but Crysis was released a bit too early.

Crysis--Game of the Year Quality

I thought that, contrary to other reviews, that this game was magnificent. The detail that they put into it is so deep and realistic that you can easily loose yourself in it.
I had no problems with glitches or anything of the sort, but I do have a pretty good system. If you have Vista, then I think the only problem you ll have is with Vista s current level of stability, nothing to do with the game.
The only con that I found with this game was that to play it you had to install the Game-Comrade thing... but that was easily overcome by creating a shortcut to the .exe file and placing that on your desktop.
The zero-gravity fighting just went to show how intensely they focused on the physics of the game. When you shot, you moved backwards and your gun lifted up further than it did outside, where there is gravity.
Overall, I found this game to be a very unique and very well created game. Full of intensity and thoughtful tactics. I would highly recommend this game to any serious gamer;however, I think that it would be too intense for a casual gamer.

This is fun for awhile great graphics but boring

This game has great graphics and is entertaining but gets old real quick. If you have played FarCry then this game just feels like you have been through it before. Don't get me wrong it's a good game it just lacks innovation. Then on the other hand if your a FarCry nut then this game is for you (but I would not pay full price for it I fell cheated). Also you don't need all that impressive of a pc to run it. I have 3 gig ram and geforce 7900 gs 256mb graphics and run it just fine on medium and it still looks impressive.

Good Shooter

This will not dissapoint fans of FPS games.
(It requires a pretty stout rig to run at maximum.I have 3.5mhz intell. proc. two 8800 evga ultras running sli and 2gb.of patriot pc 9200 and I could not run it at max.)
Still,it is dazzling visually and has a decent story line.I really enjoyed it.However,I thought it would have been better if it had been longer.The trend seems to be to shorter games.I wish that would stop.The value of a good game goes way up if it takes a long time to finish.

Great game

my computer specs
dual core extreme
8800 gtx oc 756
2 gig of system ram
striped drives for performance.

just like farcry was a beast and really tested current systems at it's release... cyrsis does not dissapoint. I suspect it will be a benchmark tool for years to come.

With my new nvidia 8800 gtx video card the game plays flawless... at high settings. But with my two X1600 500 meg video cards installed in Crossfire mode the game was playable at medium.

This game will test your computer system's mettle... and then some.

visually the game does not dissapoint in any way.
Audio is great
Story seems its weak link for me.

It is an open ended begining where they unfold the plot as they go...

choice of voices for the North korean army may be offensive as they speak with a very poor american accent. It is funny at times some of the things they say but I could see how one could take offense. but who knows maybe I'm seeing something that isn't really there.

A turn off for me is that a human soldier takes 3 to 4 rounds square in the chest and still stands... even if body armor is used they are not going to be on thier feet.

AI of the soldiers seems to go hot and cold... sometimes they stike of brilliant... others... not so much. Quite a few times I would find myself flanked and suprised.

In the age of games hiring proffesional novilists to come up with story lines.. character development... etc. I expected more. Not to say that the unfolding story is bad. It just could use some more character development at the begining.

overall great game... and I'm pretty picky :)
