Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Preview:
From the makers of Far Cry comes the most technologically advanced video game ever made, with graphics to make you gasp and enemy artificial intelligence so clever it could give SkyNET a run for its money. With Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 now well established, Crysis has become the new milestone for PC graphics and first person shoot ‘em-ups. The premise of the game involves an alien landing on an island off North Korea, with you as the only person that can stop it. The incredibly realistic looking environments are the game’s initial draw, with some particularly stunning looking jungle locales. All the levels include dynamic effects to make them even more realistic (and dangerous) including earthquakes, breaking ice, landslides and tornadoes. Since the alien decides to flash freeze the entire island half way through the game, and the final sections end up in a zero gravity spaceship, it’s unlikely you’re going to get tired of the same old environments.

As in Far Cry, there’s no strict level structure and you’re able to explore the island however you want; choosing to go in all guns blazing or taking a more stealthy approach. You can also customise your weapons to suit your preferred style of play with silencers, telescopic sights, laser sightings and more. Your special armour can also be modified as you go, so that you make less noise as you move, run faster, jump higher, recover energy or just take damage better and make use of heavier weapons. Naturally the game also includes an extensive multiplayer mode, but it is the stunning, near photorealistic, graphics and game world which is most certain to claim the game’s name in PC gaming history.

Rating: - pretty but flawed
I was really looking forward to playing Crysis but untimately disapointed. The game looks good but only as good as FAR CRY and no where near as good as COD 4. The enemy are not at all realistic and appear to be bullet proof. When trying to line up on them they perform a sort of side stepping dance routine moving backwards and forwards, which no human could match, whilst returning fire. Sometimes they stand still and aim up into the sky right in front of you. Not sure why. I once put a whole mag into ... Read More

Rating: - Forget Benchmarks, enjoy the game!
This game can be as graphically demanding as you want it to be. It has made a quantum leap in terms of aesthetics for a game and near completely destructive/interactive environments.
A lot has been made of the island levels, but the scale of this game in undeniable, it is a long journey into the depths of this island and there are no short cuts getting back either.
Buy it now, enjoy it now, and if you get a better PC in the future play it all over again. I've played it with an ATI x1950 on ... Read More

Rating: - Probably the 2nd best game ever!
I have probably overlooked this game previously as the cover was a bit 'monsterish', so I presumed, wrongly, that it was a monster based game rather than human and realistic.
I was very wrong. The game is 90% action and the graphics and FPS are accurate, realistic and absolute attention to detail has been made. At the end of each level I was thinking, right that's the end, and then another scene would start...an amazing legthy game, unlike COD and MOH which only last a few hours.

Rating: - Faultless
First things first, my rig:
OS - Win XP
GFX - XFX Nvidia 9600 GT Alpha Dog Edition (740mhz core)
RAM - 3GB
PRO - Intel E4600 Dual Core 2 (2.4mhz)

The aforementioned game runs (95% of the time) smoothly on HIGH settings with the above specs. For those people worried about cost to upgrade your GFX card I would highly recommed the XFX Alpha Dog - reason?...£90 at PC World. My processor is now on sale for £50 - £70 at Amazon also.

The detail in EVERYTHING ... Read More

Rating: - great graphics, enthralling story
so I thought id post my comments to try and counteract some of the more negative reviews.

firstly, performance, when I origonally bought this game I was using a 6800gt graphics card and a similarly old system (amd 3200, 1gb ram) and I had heard the horror stories so I ramped everything down on low, first thing to note, low on this game puts many many games high settings to shame, it just becomes 1 of the pack, nothing special, but not bad.

feeling brave I then increased all settings ... Read More
