From the makers of Far Cry, Crysis offers FPS fans the best-looking, most highly-evolving gameplay, requiring the player to use adaptive tactics and total customization of weapons and armor to survive in dynamic, hostile environments.
Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the North Korean Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island. The ship generates an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion of the island and drastically alters the global weather system. Now the US and North Korea must join forces to battle the alien menace. With hope rapidly fading, you must fight epic battles through tropical jungle, frozen landscapes, and finally into the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G showdown. Next-generation graphics that define state of the art, with scalable options to deliver solid performance on older machines Choose your own path through the open world of Crysis -- destroying obstacles, driving vehicles from VTOL's to boats and using the environment itself against your enemies Full-featured multiplayer for up to 32 players with real-time armor and weapons customization

Summary: Crytek HITS ANOTHER HOMERUN
Comment: FAR CRY was one of the best FPS games ever sold. It created such a following that can only be compared to that of UNREAL and the original HALF-LIFE. CRYTEK, the developer of both FAR CRY and CRYSIS, clearly did not rest on its laurels. CRYSIS is an *EVEN BETTER GAME* in many aspects.
And topping FAR CRY is NOT an easy task...
Graphically the game is GORGEOUS! (Both DX10 and DX9 compatible). Moving in the jungle is just unbelievable: the natural foliage, the game of light and shadow, the clear flowing water...The weapons are exceptionally well designed (familiar shapes but mostly futuristic) and their muzzle flashes add to the game realism. Replenishing your ammo is almost never a problem, provided you are frugal with your sniper bullets. A nice cross-genre touch: most weapons are enhanceable with targeting-lasers, sniper-sights and silencers.
The "weapon" you will enjoy more is, of course, the nanite-muscle-suit, a kind of augmenting exoskeleton that serves as both armor and turning you into a super-human. Throwing your enemies over the tree tops can be really fun - and their limp movements and shouted insults are totally realistic! Speaking of realism, wait to reach the zero-gravity levels: the weapons' kick will propel you backwards - as it should!
And, importantly, CRYSIS is much more graphically stable than, say, FEAR-PERSEUS MANDATE or BIOSHOCK, although graphically clearly superior.
The sound has also been well worked on. There are a number of moments where sound clues are the warning you will get. The sound of an enemy crawling towards you is not a good omen...So get rid of those old headphones and plug in a good set of speakers.
The levels are beautifully designed and the AI PHENOMENAL! I had a group of enemies flank me as I was engaged with their comrade who was left as bait! Shoot an enemy from cover only to watch him seek cover as well - until he or one of his comrades spot your position!
Overall, the gameplay controls is very similar to that of FAR CRY (and most FPS nowadays). I do have to point out that movement is precise and effective. Running is fast whereas crouching is stealthy. For longer distances, vehicles become available.
The game also sports a multiplayer - although it may require seriously lowering the video specs to avoid lagging.
That is the main problem with CRYSIS: it is excessively demanding in hardware! Short of an expensive uber-computer one will not experience the full potential of the game without glitches. When VALVE can do miracles even with 2004 computers, this is poor workmanship, and it cost them a star.
Now, this game (being an EA release) sports ...SecuROM. Usually I subtract at least two stars from games burdening us with such dangerous security routines. However, I liked the game so much I felt torn - and decided to make a more generous exception. So, if you are boycotting SecuROM games, be warned, otherwise:
RECOMMENDED!

Summary: awesome game but problems
Comment: 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.

Summary: This game made me loose my face
Comment: Seriously jaw dropping game. Tons of fun and absolutely beautiful graphics. Overall the full game is a little on the short side but I feel that the Ultra-intense ride that it takes you on is more than worth it.
I really loved the original Far Cry and although Csysis is different and more futuristic it still has all of my favorite elements.
The maps and enviroments seem like they might be a tad bit smaller than those in Far Cry but they are still vast and allow you a certain amount of freedom to accomplish missions in different ways.
I can't wait for the addon 'Warheads".
