    Crysis Warhead. On the other side of the island. The addition of the original Crysis came out and not worse, but not much better. The gameplay itself has become more dynamic, but the plot has become a little worse. In general, positive emotions remained after the passage of the story of Psycho.

    great game, just the physics sensitivity that should be better because I feel that Crysis 1 has better physics than this werhead

    Great shooter with interesting story, graphics and gameplay. Anyway the main game was still a little bit better.

    I recommend it only if it's on a really good promotion... I had only played Crysis when it launched and I bought this one for R$20 (4USD). Honestly, today I don't think it's worth it... I finished the campaign in less than 5 hours and the game ended lol.
    The game is good, a sequel to 1, nice story, good gameplay, but I recommend waiting for the price to drop.

    More of the Crysis? Yes please! Warhead is in some ways even better than the original game.

    Неплохое ответвление серии, но менее голивудское и интересное чем оригинал.

    If you like the original Crysis, Warhead is a great expansion. The story is shorter, but more intense. The graphics even slightly polished. All the good things stayed the same, but there is more of it to enjoy.

    Crysis Warhead I went to PC with maximum graphics preset, and the first Crysis I went to Xbox360. Therefore, I was very surprised at the beauty I saw. I can't believe it was 12 years ago. But there are traditional problems. For example, I have a monitor UltraWide and during cut scenes I had black stripes, and on the sides of the monitor, outside the borders of 16:9 they are not.

Seriously Crytek how could you do that? Graphically, although the game looks better, it is made on CryEngine 2 and it feels. Yes, and the wheel of nanosuit modes is not necessary, because you still use only 2 modes. The plot is as usual simple, but here it already organically complements the original story. It is felt that the addition was made only a couple of months, the duration of the game - about 4 hours at the middle level. Also in the last third of the game, cat scenes are literally stretched. But still I can recommend Warhead, I liked it much more than the original.… Expand

    Un'ottima esperienza parallela al primo crysis con un personaggio estremamente carismatico e storia travolgente e ritmo sostenuto per tutta la durata circa 6/8 ore e anche più se si esplora e la rigiocabiltà è assicurata con i vari livelli di difficoltà

    Crysis Warhead, también conocido como Crysis 1.5, es un Must-Play al igual que el primer Crysis. Practicamente es igual en todos los apartados a la primera entrega, pero hay que destacar la adición de mucha más acción y dinamismo. La introducción de nuevas mecánicas le da una frescura merecida al gameplay. Es el punto justo de sal que le faltaba a Crysis 1.

    "9/10 – Fantastic.
    An extremely good product.
    These games leave me with something outstanding to remember them by, ideas for single-player or multiplayer, clever characters and writing, noteworthy graphics and sound, or some combination thereof. It is close to being perfect/amazing, but doesn't quite hit that mark."

ИИ остался абсолютно на том же уровне, что и был в первой части, такой же имбовый, такой же хреновый. Оружия по прежнему мало, но благодаря тому, что стрельба приятно ощущается и игра быстро проходится , стволы не успевают приесться. В общем и целом, игра на 2 головы выше первой части, играется гораздо интереснее и приятнее, разрабы проделали хорошую работу над ошибками,за исключением ИИ конечно.… Expand

    Same as the first one, with different point of view in story.
    Still awesome :) Still playable, still beautiful :)
    Not 10/10 because is little bit too short.

    Considering this is an expansion, it's a great addition to the original game. It improves on a lot of aspects of its gameplay and mechanics. A lot more action and fast paced badassery gives you way more opportunities to exploit your suit powers to the max and hone your tactical skills.

    It feels like a somewhat significant downgrade in the graphics department, however. It looks a lot more bland than its predecessor and some graphical features like anisotropic filtering don't work. The view distance is horrible with objects popping up 2 metres in front of you. I had to fiddle for hours with console commands and config files, tweaking graphical settings to make the game look acceptable.

    The story is pretty forgettable and doesn't add much to the original, but as I said, this is an expansion and it more than makes up for the story with it's amazingly fun gameplay.    … Expand

    Excellent dlc for the original Crysis, interesting character, familiar sandbox shooter. A great addition to the original, albeit a short one. Psycho is the best character in the whole franchise.

    A nice little spin-off that helped expand the story from the first story, this game may have not really introduced anything new but still had an emotional story and awesome action game play. The ending to this game's story was only the tip of the iceberg and small taste of the even more epic story waiting in store from the sequels!

    You play as Psycho a teammate of Nomad at events parallel to Main game. If you haven't played the main game before, events will be confusing. So it's meant to be played after Crysis. Other than Crysis itself it is without bugs or crashes, better graphics, smoother framerate! My run lasted for 9 hours and I consider this just about right for a shooter.

    Amazing expantion to the original Crysis. With possibly even better graphics yet a bit better optimized if I remember correctly. Crazy fun action and level design. This is how quality expansions should be. Remember the legendary game because you will never see another one like it.

    First off, considering that this game is only $30 it's deffinately worth the money(if your computer is NASA quality that is...). Still, I had fun in it's short campaign and the eye candy is simpley stunning just like the original. Don't blow $60 on some other game, if you just want to shoot stuff and have it look awsome, then I would recomend Crysis Warhead.

    For me personally this is the best Crysis game. It is almost crazy, how fast this rollercoaster is. From the start until the end you are just having tons of fun. A perfect stand-alone dlc.

The game was considered more "optimized" than its predecessor, on which i disagree, it just had uglier graphics.

And no one complains about it. But i digress.

    The game is not much differerent than the original Crysis, but i didn't like the gameplay as much. It is worth a playthrough if you own the original, otherwise, skip it and play the original first instead.    … Expand

    7½ years after release, I get around to playing it. I find it much improved over Crysis, and it is a standalone expansion, not a sequel. I keep thinking I haven't had this much fun playing a single-player game since Call of Duty 4.

    The original Crysis may have given you the basic tools, but Warhead allows you to really use them, and while its previous titles made it clear that Crytek knew technology like few others, it's this strange off-shoot Warhead that proves it's no slouch when it comes to level design and set-pieces either.

    For $30, Crysis Warhead is an incredible value, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better shooter on the PC this year. The single-player campaign is tight and superb, and the multiplayer portion delivers something that you can just in and play and have fun with.

    Warhead honestly is the finest burst of action gaming released so far this year, and if you're canny then you'll be able to pick it up for a mere £15 from online retailers. It's a five hour tour-de-force that's plugged the holes in Crysis with diamonds.
