Crysis

Actually everyone knows this game is non-playable. But now after 13 years later when we look at those visuals that amazing graphics, physics... I was shocking. Absolutely better than todays Ultra settings PUBG. How can this game can be playable at that time? Just like the GTA IV. These are the biggest games of those times.

Just wanted to say that this is one of the top 10 games I've ever played.

It's simply amazing how much graphics that have been crammed into this game, and it's even less than the newer versions.

It was one of the few games that I played (I didn't play for many years so games and hardware have improved greatly since then!) after I got a decent setup with a so-so GPU (and some time later I got an even better one!) and I was blown away of the graphics. The level of details are astonishing, vibrant, alive, and yes, frightening aliens as they just jump at you (This is where a Trainer helps you from smashing your keyboard - Cheating, you betcha, but saves nerves, and possibly your peripherals from a beating).

With mentioned newer GPU (ATI/AMD), I re-experienced the game, but this time with Eyefinity and 3 monitors - Sensational! Same, but a world of a difference in game feel. You get so much peripheral vision with a multi-monitor setup - This was what I wanted people to know, as for a reason for this review.

Forget single monitor (unless you have one of those large ulta-wide ones) - You haven't gamed until you've gamed on a multi-monitor setup.

Anywhoo, what more is grate with this game is the length of it.

You play a handful of missions and thinking it'll end soon, but it will keep you occupied for hours on end as the missions keep piling up, one after the other.

Personally, I'm not much for fighting aliens in games, but these are somewhat of an exception since they're, well, what the game's all about.

Some appear near impossible to kill, and I never go for the highest game mode, and it's taken me hours to complete some missions, and thankfully it's no 3 tries & "Game Over" like many games, so you can skip quite a lot of boring bits (like when you have to re-do a whole level) and jump back into the saddle.

It's easy to miss out on some mission objectives that are explained to you (or rather the character), especially if English isn't your native tongue, so some levels seem quite straight forward, but can be very difficult to remember some keywords that were spoken and put that into the current task at hand, as some solutions might be not so obvious to find.

You'll get there, eventually if/when you encounter such obstacles.

This game is just too underrated here on IMDb. Even if everything else was not good, the graphic detail is amazing enough for Crysis to get a high rating. Gamespot was right to give this a 9.5 and say its visually stunning and filled with intelligent gameplay and easily one of the greatest shooters ever made.

If you don't see it getting sold much in gaming shops, this is because the game demands a very fast PC and a really good graphic card. Don't buy this game before you get one of the newest PCs and graphic cards, but if you buy special edition, you can watch a DVD about the making of the game and listen to the awesome soundtrack by Inon Zur.

One of the big things about this game is the gameplay. It is heaps of fun and beyond the basic gameplay Call of Duty Modern Warfare features. You can grab a soldier and throw him into a house and make it collapse. Like in Half Life 2, you can even grab any object you want eg, book, teapot, magazine, chair, table, bottle, even a live chicken etc. It makes the action really intense, and the physics to look terrific. Your nano-suit can switch modes to maximum speed, maximum armour, cloaking, and maximum strength (makes you throw soldiers further away and lift larger objects and jump as high as in Halo) I saw what Halo 3 originally got. 9.8? Never! I enjoyed Halo 2, but Halo 3 is no different than the others. Only that graphics are improved. Gameplay is like what it was in 2003. Just a simple shoot 'em up. Crysis is something original. Crysis is twenty times better than Halo. Even Call Of Duty 4 had rather decent game-play, unlike Halo 3. the AI in this game are smart. When you punch them, they react realistically. Their heads don't just get knocked back. You see their reactions from their face, how they open their mouths and close their eyes. When they are alert, they look everywhere around, so if you are playing stealth, you have to be careful.

The story is not bad at all. I am a lot into story lines in games and films. Crysis does not have an original plot. Aliens attack Earth, but the structuring is great and it flows very well, with many twists. US archaeologists have discovered something on an island not far from Korea. Their last transmission indicated that that the Koreans taken control of the island and took them hostage. You are sent by a squad of US Special Forces. You wear nano-suits for the operation. Once you're there, you find out about aliens and eventually fight them (I haven't got up to that part yet.). And the aliens are trying to ice the planet (literally).

The landscape in this game is beautiful. It is much similar to Far Cry. When you swim, you can see fish underwater. This is a free-roam game, so along the way if you explore you may encounter strange secrets as part of secondary objects (if you look hard for Badowsky after going over a waterfall you might get slightly shocked by what you see). The game encourages exploration not only for different enemy tactics but also to see if you can discover a few small secrets.

Overall, it is a great game. Almost perfect as a matter of fact. My only complaint is that enemies absorb a bit too much damage. I'm not saying it is too hard, but they have to be shot at least three times to die using an assault rifle. Buy this game, if you have a good PC. This is one of the coolest games around.

Well designed and fun to play, Crysis is first and foremost focused on its graphics and visuals and they are truly something to behold. If you have a pc capable of handling it, max settings will still make your jaw drop all these years later. The CryEngine is a marvelous beast. The combat, shooting, and open design is fun too, and it's always fun to cloak and terrorize the enemy patrols. And the aliens are cool and mysterious. The game suffers from an awful climax though and a story that's quite clearly an afterthought, and the enemy AI at times are not the smartest tools in the shed. Still worth a play through.

Of all FPS, this definitively goes in my top 10 best FPS I have ever played. I don't know where to start… well, let's see: Great graphics, great gameplay, great design of costumes, characters, weapons, vehicles and aliens. Good music score, and voice talents. Also cool sound effects. The story is interesting, an alien meteor falls on Lingshan islands, which was taken over by north Korean army (well, I think it was that good old "let's pick a country for a villain" principle), so a special army team is sent to save American scientist and to investigate the meteor. Team's specialty is their suits called 'Nanosuit'. The suit is one of the main points in the game. It's is an advanced combat suit that can make you stronger, faster and adaptable to environment, which is cool, but the usage of each and every one of suit's skills is pretty short, so you need to use them wisely. The gameplay is, well pretty easy, you need to get use to it. But, once you get use to it, you are about to witness a great, action packed adventure, during fighting with north Koreans. The fight with them is pretty good practice, but when aliens appears, you better get prepared, they are tough. Grab the console and enjoy yourself, the game is badass.
