    This game felt like that it came from the feature, the graphic was unbelievable. The gameplay was also good, but the story was just OK.

    OK. Yep fairly gorgeous graphics on the beaches. However a major bug spoils that a bit for you.

    Starting with bug No 1. There is a nasty, very nasty audio bug that completely ruins the sound. Crackling and reverb banging away until you can hardly work out what is going on. The only way I found to stop it was run the game in DX9, and that meant I could only get high graphics settings.    OK. Yep fairly gorgeous graphics on the beaches.

The only way I found to stop it was run the game in DX9, and that meant I could only get high graphics settings. Unless you are prepared to do a little mod to your installation, you need to run in DX10 to have very high settings.

    I didn't like the no-gravity stuff much. I got quite a few bugs in there and couldn't get out. After reloading game I saw that a door was meant to open.

    The maze in the ship meant I got lost a few times. I mean it was not too bad, but when you had to get the Tac-cannon I got lost. Searching and searching.

    Then we get to the final boss. I died and died and died and died and died and died and died. On top of that, Crysis let one if its ultimate bugs out on you. You fall through the deck of the destroyer. Re-load, same thing, re-load, same thing. Start the game again, OK, died and died and died and died, and falling through the deck, and falling through the deck, and falling through the deck. I just gave up, with the boss left alive to write this review for the benefit of others. Maybe I will try finish it again, but for now, I am fed up.

    Basically I would say this game isn't complete and EA have a lot of apologising to do. (I'd say quite poorly optimised as well.)    … Expand

    This game was very enjoyable, the graphics looked amazing for a 6 year old game and the story was interesting. The game play was pretty good but the AI was kind of bad and definitely needs improvement. Also, some weapons in the near end of the game did feel a bit too overpowered. I would definitely recommend this game

    Crysis' graphical beauty and freedom in gameplay would have made a more lasting impression had it not been for the game's disappointing and downright broken second half.

    - Good: Pushing hardware to maximum, Shooting
    - Mixed: Gameplay
    - Bad: Story, Linear, Monotonous

    Decent game but nothing more. Boring and monotonous after some time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Linear tactical sci-fi FPS that offers enhancements to weapons and options to sneak around enemies in later levels with big importance of using superpowers that are interesting addition.

    The game starts off as Far Cry exploration game but soon becomes Just Cause destroying everything and at the end Tomb Raider to find out about its fantasy elements. It is comparable to Metro features.

    Most levels can be solved with few options, there are more guns and ammo at the disposal when looting, it is not so tight on firepower, however you have limited slots for weapons. Fists, Pistols, 2 slots for anything else, like Shotgun, Assault rifle, Machinegun... Land bomb, Rocket launcher, Special weapon, Grenades. Player is regenerating himself.

    You can use guns of cars, boats or tanks, even fists boosted by super power, speed boost, invisibility, extra armour and weapon sights. Some levels are frustrating or hold you within closed area that will eventually open up as you kill the enemies around you.

    There is a solid story with FPS moments in cinematics, it is good vs evil fight, slowly showing its third faction to fight against. There was plenty of moments that kept me on the edge of survival, keeping the balance just right so player stoked with weapons will not become super strong. I played on Easy difficulty and I had few moments where it was frustrating to proceed and loaded over and over until I fought my way out. I had to learn to use all abilities to finish the game, so many features were not just optional.

    There is a dark room you need a light for, persistent enemy, you need specific gun to use. When you shoot enemy from hidden position, he jumps around to be hit harder or shoots where he last saw you since you can use invisibility, same goes for some enemies. Once enemy hits you in melee, the camera pulls to them, but mostly they hit very hard killing you, so most fights are rather fought from distance.

    At last, the graphics are nice, there are few issues with lighting or clipping and shaking textures. In the late game, there was big FPS drop when fighting multiple enemies. There are various environments; land, water or sky combats.

    It finished in less than 9 hours with few side objectives which were involved together in main story.

    Story 3/5 - more of background to what is happening and gripping by the end, however very predictable.
    Combat 5/5 - its main feature is shooting, you always get the challenge and options, requires you to use tactics.
    Replayability 1/5 - after you finished, you know all your abilities and enemy weaknesses, same way, same ending.
    Graphics 4/5 - as stated above, nice, minor issues, unpleasant clipping, fading and light effects.    … Expand

The game is full of glitches including suicidal enimes (saw enemy jeep crash for no reason and saw a enemy solider walk off a bridge to scream in horror). The game doesn't seem that well thought out either you have a choice to pick up almost anything thing and use it as a weapon, but why? Wen you have many type of guns. Also I'm not sure why every enemy solider has to be shot so many times before they die. I understand I'm wearing a supersuit and you will fight others in them as well but the regular wimpy koreans?

AI wise, this game is lacking, the biggest problem about the Nano-suit that i mentioned before is that the enemies hav no way of counteracting it. (especially the cloaking ability, that enemies can never detect, which you will fall back on so much as to the point it turns into a crutch). Some will also say the AI is great because they will attack you en mass use cover and turrets and once and a while lob a grenade. Except thats not great AI, thats average AI, and its nothing i havnt experienced before, especially since i play F.E.A.R. Half-Life and Halo. Considering how technically impressive this game is i expected so much more in the AI department. Lastly, while the physics were usually solid, there were to many glitches and "WTF" moments that just took away from the whole experience and stole you away from an otherwise mezmorizing enviroment (which was mainly the incredible graphics). To wrap everything up, this game is stuck in the past. Everything, other then the graphics, is something you've seen and done before and none of it is done all that well.

I would consider myself a skilled player and am not finding delta setting too hard (having completed on Hard) so I think Crytek have gone for a good difficulty balance - there are few 'throw eveything at you' moments in this one. I like the guns, I like the explosions and hell I even like the graphics (set on low due to my poor little CPU). Getting to take out bad guys with AA guns is pretty rock and roll too. The wide-open levels mean you can take set-pieces in manby ways, sniping enemies at distance, or stealthing in behind them and chucking a grenade into the midst. There's plenty of raw flying-lead action, though the adrenaline level will vary hugely dependent on how you choose to play the game. But then, something odd happens.. Suddenly and inexplicably in the last third of the game, the fun literally plummets away in a matter of moments.... from challenging, interactive and intellectually rewarding gameplay, you are plunged into the most deadening, challengeless drudgery imaginable. Take the 'spaceship' sequence from 'prey' and make it even longer, more boring and confusing and you are there. The scenery does change, and there are one or two more decent gun battles, but by this time the damage is done - crytek have decided that the last few parts of the game will involve playing the game from vehicles that only a robin reliant owner would find exciting, and your enemies are now drab, idiotic aliens that, in indoor environments will pretty much sit there and let you shoot them (yes even on Hard). The tactics, excellent enemy AI and mixture of stealth and frenetic blasting is finally replaced by a linear walk-and-shotgun affair with an ending that feels like a 3D representation of something I played on the Commodore 64 about 20 years ago. And I'm not talking Chuckie Egg or something good - we're talking free-with-the-computer level. Of course I had to get my moneysworth and finish the damn thing, which after a few tries and a fair bit of boredom later, was all done, the ending sequence doing little more than using a cliche to set us up for Crysis 2. The first part of the game lives up to the promises, its just a shame Crytek didnt sack whoever thought the part of the game was a good idea. Hopefully the patch will fix a dew bugs and make the graphics smoother, and there is definitely replay value in the earlier levels - but this IS NOT the world-beating mega-game that we have been marketed so carefully for the last go knows how long.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are amazing... I agree with most reviews here. When the game came out, this was possibly the best looking shooter ever. And it still holds up today to most modern games, definitely. But there was a point about 3/4 the way through, once the alien levels became introduced. All the way up to the tank run through the valley when the mountain was falling apart, i was enjoying the game quite a bit. But then it turned bad very quickly as the level design and gameplay became, I'm sad to say, stale.

    The end boss felt like it was very last minute, and left me quite disappointed. As memory serves, it reminded much like the end of Borderlands, a great buildup to a huge letdown. I have since played Crysis 2 and thought exactly the same thing as the 1st, except this time it was immediate, like I was being thrown right back in to the worst parts of it's predecessor. Uninteresting level design and gameplay with awesome looking graphics, which only goes so far, and then you lose interest.

    Second half comes after the essence of the plot is fully revealed and then the game somehow becomes a poorly made, arcade shooter. No skill, no thinking, just moving the mouse and clicking. It's awfully boring. This par is 2/10.

    Wow, the graphics! Otherwise, I was slightly disappointed, not a bad game, but hyped. The lack of realism was my main gripe, example: helicopters that just materialise right above you, take 3 anti-tank missiles to kill, and can find you as if wallhacking. I had some CTDs and other bugs. I did not like some parts, eg the old-school boss fights.

    Crysis was the subject of seemingly unending hype a few years ago, and the cover art was plastered in every game store everywhere. Expecting a mediocre run-and-gun FPS like Battlefield: Call of Honor, I waited for the price to drop... and it only took 4 years! For starters, the game wouldn't run because of incompatibility with Windows 8. This is apparently a copy protection issue but ICrysis was the subject of seemingly unending hype a few years ago, and the cover art was plastered in every game store everywhere. Expecting a mediocre run-and-gun FPS like Battlefield: Call of Honor, I waited for the price to drop... and it only took 4 years! For starters, the game wouldn't run because of incompatibility with Windows 8. This is apparently a copy protection issue but I (eventually) found a workaround. The game starts out as a Korean killing simulator with generic-as-hell weapons such as the "precision rifle" and the "shotgun". Some weapons have different firing modes and you can swap attachments for guns (e.g. scopes, silencers) after you take them off guns you find. Fortunately, the game spices things up with a "nano suit", which is a very poorly-designed super-duper-ninja suit in that it only has enough battery to power one 'ability' at a time, and only for a very short duration. Luckily, it charges quickly as well, so the skilled player must switch modes and find cover frequently to survive. The game at first looks like a non-linear exploration type game like Far Cry (even has a huge Jungle map to boot) but it becomes clear that you get very few optional objectives, and they're almost always along the way to your primary objective. The driving mechanics are a bit odd and vehicles generally have fewer hit points than I expected from playing the Battlefield series. On a number of occasions, hitting a small obstacle at low speed made my jeeps and trucks explode like a nuclear bomb on wheels. The choice of vehicles is limited and generic but they all have nitro boosters for some reason. They are not nearly as fun to drive like in other FPS games like Arma or, of course, Battlefield because they're just not flexible enough. The worst part of this entire game, though, is the fact that every scene absolutely-positively-and-with-no-argument MUST be completed in the precise way the level designers made it. For example, new paths open only after going to specific dead ends or killing a certain number of enemies. There are certain parts of the game in which you have absolutely no indication of where to go, making the latter even worse. If you have any intuition as a gamer, scrap it. The things a gamer expects to work to get to the next passage never do, and often cause you to die. And if you die after the direction is revealed, after loading you STILL have to go back to those dead ends and wait for the same scripted events to happen for the path to be open. The worst was when you knew which parts of the final boss to target and destroyed them before the scripted dialogue -- only to have them regenerate for you to destroy again when the scripted event is over. In short, this game is overly scripted and you get virtually no choice. During "team combat" scenes, it's clear that only some enemies are supposed to be killed by you, and the rest by the AI. In other cases, enemies spawn infinitely, making most of the game an exercise in running past enemies or cloaking while they're shooting at you (which hilariously confuses them.) The graphics are pretty nice (especially later on) but the engine is horrendously inefficient, and you will lose frames massively despite this game being 4 years old already, even on medium settings. After spending most of the time dying for FOOLISHLY playing as though you had any freedom, and not did exactly what the level designers want, the game is actually pretty short. It's a shame, too, since they obviously worked very hard on designing the graphics for the later stages. There's absolutely no incentive to explore, except to get a bit of ammo -- and in many missions you lose the previous guns you had worked so hard to find only to start with a pistol. Overall, I'd give this game a 3/5 because it's obviously more creative and interesting than the same crappy recycled Call of Honor campaigns we've suffered through for half a decade, but at the same time, you have to do a lot of boring and frustrating experimentation to see how particular parts are SUPPOSED to be finished, not how they COULD HAVE been finished had the level designers not been so narrow-minded.… Expand

When i first jumped in i was excited and tried to kill off koreans in fancy ways until i realised all i had to to was shoot-take cover-stealth-repeat. This made me use maximum speed through the bushes and palmtrees whenever i could just to get to the next checkpoint to see if it would get better. It didnt. It got tons of worse. After the koreans came the koreans in nanosuits, you could especially tell they were koreans since they had the same behaviour as their comrades without the fancy suit. The following tankdriving and shooting was nothing special. Beautiful interiors of the alien mothership completely ruined by predatorlookalike aliens. I was happy when i finally get out of there to see the frozen jungle. Had looked forward to that. When i got out of the snowy weather and starting to drive away from the bubble i got really worried. And not without reason. Only thing left in the game was some flying through valleys and some running about at the carrier. That hunterboss on the ship looked kickass but was a complete letdown like everything else. And the bigger spaceshipfight defied all logic. How could that not blow the carrier out of the sea? Holy crap, i have not been this dissapointed for a long time.

The gameplay is lousy, the story is non existent, and there are so many blatant ripoffs of other games in it, that its basically nothing but a showcase for CryTek's artiistic flair.

    Those who are unaffected by the massive hype surrounding the release of this supposed photo-realistic game will probably see Crysis as a rehash of old, tried and tested but now boring gameplay mixed with a graphics engine that looks nice but seems to have completely missed the point that the graphics are there to assist the gameplay, not the other way around.

My problem is not that I can't run it on high settings, but that medium settings look awful. Some of the textures look really poor but the worst thing for me is the insane amount of aliasing. Jaggies really spoil games for me and Crysis is full of them unless you have the hardware to turn AA on. Additionally, it gives me an average framerate only of around 20fps. Now, I'm not just complaining because someone made a game that I can't play as it was meant to be played, but i know that my PC is capable of more than this. I can run COD4 with all the graphics settings cranked up to full and it runs like a dream and looks beautiful, averaging about 45fps.

Don't even TRY shooting from long range unless you have a sniper rifle, note to Crytek: I don't care that I'm using a regular rifle, a dozen shots to the head will kill anyone from any distance. The suit adds a nice element of strategy to the otherwise repetitive gameplay. But the mechanic of go here, get ambushed twice on the way, break through a checkpoint, get into enemy base, get X information, destroy X gets EXTREMELY boring after about the second time through.

It seems kind of arbitrary therefore, like anything might suffice. It makes for a somewhat meaningless world where I never got the sense that I was killing REAL people for any REAL reason. Sure, this is an FPS, true, but the genre has been kind of stagnant since DOOM and Half-Life. Some attempt at innovation in game play and storytelling would have been refreshing. Perhaps some sense (illusion, even) of choice and consequence, non-linearity or ethical ambiguity would increase replayability value. Particularly considering that this game has been heralded as something quite special. However, there is little here that isn't monotonous and somewhat dull considering. For example, I found the cloaking ability to be far less rewarding than traditional sneaking. Almost a simplification of it... a shortcut, so that I needn't be too bothered. Similarly, simply running advances in AI and Physics in to game play represents more of an inclusion of feature sets the industry has come to expect more than it does design innovation. A mere addition of available, expected technologies on top of the game rather than a well-thought over design decision that actually alters the feel of the game for a specifically intended goal/reason consistent with the overall game. So, what redeeming qualities does the game have? The music is indeed nice, but nothing special or unique. The graphics... the graphics while indeed shiny, are not blinding for this reviewer: While the graphics are certainly impressive in a technical sense, artistic direction is lacking. Simultaneously, the environments tend to be unvaried and very reminiscent of Far Cry. Nevertheless some people will see the graphics as a reason to purchase and play through the, probably short, plot. It isn't enough for me and it's interesting to ponder what, if any, reason a person might have to come back and play this in 5 years time.… Expand
