Crysis (PC)

This is a lovely, stunning FPS that has an engaging plotline in my opinion. An asteroid crashes down to Earth, next to North Korea. The North Korean Government seals off the area, claiming the mysteries of the asteroid for themselves. The asteroid suddenly bursts open, revealing a colossal, 2km high alien ship. The ship generates an immense force sphere, freezing a vast portion of the island and drastically altering the global weather system. The ...

Anyway, you're there because some archaeologists found something a bit weird; then they went missing and now the North Korean's are quarantining the area. Your fellow Delta Force team members get kidnapped by large, metallic octopus creatures. You then come to a huge mountain which is the alien mothership. ...

...damage. The best thing about crysis is that, gameplay is unique. What you do and how you do will have an effect on the further playing of the game. For example how you approach the enemy each time will have a different affect on you. The enemy AI won't react the same way in each time you encounter him. The Surrounding you play in is very active. It's full of movement. You'll see leaves swing in the direction of the wind, shadows move according ...
...which I find awesome in Crysis is that, how it lets us choose our own path to the objective. You don't always have to take the road which you're given. You can go along side the shore, take the woods to get better cover and camouflage. This allows you to ambush your enemy and give them some kick ass!. So each time when you play the same scenario, You'll get a different experience. And you'll never know what you'll expect cuz you're taking different ...

WOW this is the best game I have ever played! After reading that I needed a pc equivalent of a nuclear reactor to play this I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that my mid range PC copes with it brilliantly! (3.4Ghz Dual Core, 3GB ram, ATI 3850) The graphics are fantastic, I think mine are more or less set to medium, and it still looks amazing. And then there's the gameplay which is superb with a massive variety from huge tank battles to ...

I have only played the single player campaign which is quite short but intense with a massive variety. If the multiplayer is anywhere near as good as single player then it will also be great.

Crysis seems to be one of the most anticipated PC games in this part of the year. Does it live up to its hype? Well? Yes and No I'll start off with a bit of back story. You play as Nomad who is part of the US Delta force, they are a squad kitted out with futuristic nanosuits which give them all sorts of abilities (more on that later) Delta force are called in because a group of American archaeologists have been captured by the North Korean Army ...

Crysis (PC) Review by SondarPwnage Crysis is the sci-fi story of one nano-suited armed US special forces operative. A solid interesting and enganging story which is fleshed out with open ended gameplay and, my personal favourite addition, vehicles. This game shines. Armed with the latest in US army technology, the nano suit, gives you nearly superhuman powers. Cloak, extra defensive, extra strength all give a whole new dynamic to the gameplay. ...

Something huge and beyond comprehension. Also a range of veichles make an apperance including jeeps helicopters VTOLs and tanks. SO much fun! A long campaign, including mission editor ...

Crysis is a tech-demo, that turned out to become a full game with a sequel. The graphics are... strong. It requires a strong system, and it IS worth it. The whole beauty of the island is something that you need to see. Also the effects are good, stealth looks... stealth-ish and the small things are important too like watching leaves get moved when you walk. If there was music, I didn't notice it unless it was supposed to make a dramatic effect. It ...
...to hear people while in stealth mode, hiding in a bush. The game isn't the Fallout 3 type of long, but it's long enough to get fun out of it. There is a small chance of people trying to change the controls. It's almost perfect (almost because of glitches). Now the bad things. In one part of the game when you get out into the snowy island part, you can't use your good guns - they won't have ANY use against the enemies. You will have to use the annoying ...

Crysis has been hailed for ages, hyped up and named "game of the year" by many. Its high-end and is meant to be the first game to fully use the new Direct x 10 power and thus requires a Direct x 10 card for the best results. It still "works" on old machines tho, including ones without Direct x 10 cards. My machine has a 1 gb 7950 GTX which is DX9, not 10. They say you wont be able to run this game on max settings and fully appreciate it until some ...
...Its true, im only running on medium-low settings, but it still looks good. The story line im not 100% sure on yet. You are a special op's operative with a nano suit, which gives you special powers or augments your human abilities, eg."Maximum" strength, maximum speed, cloak, shield. Each has its own goodness, but cloak is the one you will use yourself or you will soon be out-gunned and dead. Maximum Strength allows you to punch tree's, buidlings, ...

Yeh sure the story is like something straight out of a B-Movie from the 80's, but it is still captivating and an enjoyable experience it has its flaws sure, the forced driving stages really suck and the system requirements are mental.

However there is still a lot of fun to be had on a mid range xp pc ...

The nano-suit allows you to become super-strong, super-fast, super-tough and if that isn't enough, you can choose to become invisible! This is an extremely fun game, with in insane amount ...

I'm not into games like this, Supernatural stuff and like that. The environment was great, with a good graphic card you get the feeling that you are in the game. Another good thing is that you can pick up every item in the game and shoot down threes that makes the game real. It was a bit hard to complete but after 7 houers of hard work it came to an end. The end was a bit wierd but the game was good pretty good. ...
