    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Very much more of the same, this time with more of a concentration on the alien invasion aspect. It's a little tougher, and therefore more reliant on stealth than the previous game but otherwise it will all be very familiar to fans. Crysis 3 is from the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of sequels so if you liked the second instalment, you'll like this.

    Good game, but not as good as 1 &2. If u are a fan of the series u still need to play it but will feel that it is a drop off from Crysis 2.

    As good as crysis 1 and crysis 2, this game is pretty satisfying, though the final boss is a little bit hard.

    Este es el juego con mejores gráficos de la generación anterior, flipe cuando hice la misión "Welcome to the jungle", no podía creer que mi consola desplegara esa calidad gráfica, lo malo es que no engancha como los anteriores y la historia no te engancha, pero aun asi amerita mínimo una renta para ver lo que es capaz de hacer la consola!!!

    The Crysis brand of shooters may not be for everyone, but for any fan of the series, Crysis 3 is, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy.

    Overall, I haven't put nearly as many hours into the Crysis series as I have into Halo or Destiny, but I do come back to it regularly. And I hope to see the franchise continue in the future.    … Expand

    The gameplay just feels like another call of duty clone. Sure, it's a bit futuristic and you can activate stuff like stealth, but the way the guns shoot and how quickly you can kill or die in multiplayer feels like Call of Duty to me. The graphics are great, but that alone doesn't make it a fun game to play.

    Story.
    About 20 yrs after the events of crysis 2, you awaken in a world overrun by the croupt Cell corporation that controls the worlds energy. You are still in NY and it's now a urban jungle in a dome. But why? What is Cell hiding? The story is well written, simple but great. Prothet is a great protagonist and he now talks which gives him the depth he needed. Side characters like his comrade friend Pysho is great, and all feel human.

    Graphics.
    Absolute beautiful. Makes next gen look outdated. The grass is amazing, the water the way it ripples during footsteps and gunfire, explosion how the thick black smoke comes. Everything is amazing. The colours are beautiful. The gun textures are great. I'm surprised that a game that is 5.5gbs which runs 60fps on the Xbox 360 can look this great. Facial animations are top notch, the Ceph look amazing.

    Sound
    The voice acting is great. Prothet sounds cool and robotic. The footsteps from enimies and yourself are great, the way you can enhance sound by looking through your visor on an enimies in the distance is cool. The metal cutting sound that the Ceph makes when their moving, or when they are mumbling to eachother. The chatter amongst Cell guards. Are all very well done. The guns sound amazing. This game is awesome with headphones. Truly a movie like experience. The soundtrack is great.

    Content.
    This game on the hardest difficulty is will make it about 10hrs long if you find all the collectibles, look for alternative paths, upgrades. 7 missions, the maps on the later levels are truly enormous. Side activities to do during your main quest too. Like helping fellow soldiers stuck in a car, then reward you with a weapon if you want.

    Gameplay.
    Stealth, hack, assault, ambush, snipe? What do you want to do? You can jump 3 metres high, or slam your fist into the earth the ground shock enimies, you can straggly dispatch them with a knife. Or you can use your bow, kill them with normal carbon, or explosions, eletricute them. You can kick cars into them. The gameplay is near endless, so much you can do, all skills can be improved to maximise it's efficientcy. Cloak and armour are back and can also be enhanced. Car driving, or tanks is optional if you find one throughout the map. All handle well.

    Overall it's hard to find a fault in this game. It's high production value, sets the bar high. The game is highly replay able. The only downside it's shorter then crysis 2 buy a good few hours and the story can be a bit over dramatic at times. But still a amazing package.    … Expand

The driving sections in this game were truly awful and i had to force myself to play through these sections despite them being only 5-10 minutes long. overall this game provided a mediocre experience that lasted only around 5 hours. there are definitely better shooters available on the market.
    I wasn't able to play multiplayer as there was no one playing and the only matches i was able to join either ended abruptly due to disconnections or were so laggy the hit detection didn't register. The game is really stunning though. the environments are great to look at, the effects are top notch and the grass realistically sways in the breeze. but graphics don't mean anything if the game is not a ton of fun to play.    … Expand

    Several times I would shot the enemy in stealth mode, or with the bow and they would find me. How can that be if they can't see me? For example: Trying to get to the Damn, I'm in a cave way up high and shot an exploding tip arrow. The enemy knows exactly were it came from and starts throwing grenades.

    Crysis 3 gives us a really good looking game, but is there enough substance to fill this beautiful world? The story starts off right where Crysis 2 ended. Psycho frees Prophet from Cell in hopes he will aid the rebels in their war. I would say the plot is the best of series, as you actually care about the two main protagonist. It is really short, but I rather say, "short but sweet". ButCrysis 3 gives us a really good looking game, but is there enough substance to fill this beautiful world?

But the real reason you play Crysis is the gameplay, and the third installment doesn't make any drastic changes, but it is still a whole lot of fun. The bow is very fun to use but is slightly overpowering. The game looks and runs beautifully, maybe one of the best looking games of this generation. It also sounds really good as well, every gun sounds powerful and all the voice acting is top notch. The multiplayer is very standard, you have the typical team deathmatch, capture the flag, and king of the hill. The mode that stands out is Hunter mode, which is similar to Halo's flood mode. A couple players start off with the bow and permanent camouflage, and must hunt the other players. Crysis 3 moves the franchise forward, not a leap, but more of a step forward.… Expand

There are a few fun parts, don't get me wrong, I think Crytek have put 65% into graphics, and split the rest between gameplay and story, which is not a good idea! it is almost impossible to be stealthy without using the cloaking device, and because the cloaking device needs to recharge every now and then, when you come out of it, your almost instantly spotted and fired upon! the worst part is, your almost forced to go stealthy through a large part of the game.

The main addition to this game is the bow, and holy crap it is fun to use. With 4 different arrowheads and 3 settings for draw-strength that can be changed in the fly, the bow can change from a lightweight stealth weapon for picking off soldiers into an electrified javelin of death when facing the Ceph. Pulling back an arrow and letting it fly never, ever got old. Ever. Overall, the weapons are excellent. And I'll say it one more time: The bow is AMAZING.

    The gameplay offers a diverse set of ways to approach each mission from quiet stealth to armored rampage, although sometimes it is a little too tempting to simply go invisible and just pick off each enemy that crosses your path. The game still allows you to play your way, which is a refreshing change from other linear FPS games of late. At the end of the day, a powered biosuit that can turn invisible and utilise super-armour is undeniably badass.

    The story is more straightforward than the last game, and I was happy with the conclusion. Some players have complained about the short length of the campaign, but I feel that the variety of gameplay negates this aspect. I didn't feel that it was particularly short once I'd reached the end. It felt like a good length for the game.

    Finally, the multiplayer. The multiplayer won't make a dent in CoD's fanbase, but it's unique aspects make it a fun addition to the game. The ability to use stealth and Air Stomps is great, and the fact that opponents are markedly more intelligent and mobile than the campaign AI means that getting a kill with the bow is much more satisfying. The game modes are tailored to fit the Crysis universe, and each of them allows for a different playstyle to thrive.    … Expand

    To start, Crysis 3 feels like glorified DLC... Everything from the launch icon is the same. The menus. everything. I have played limited multiplayer but that feels the same. Single player makes me feel boxed in the map. This game is not the best. I feel you should pay 30 dollars instead of 60. Get only if you like Crysis. If you want to try it out get Crysis 2.
