Buy the game to admire the graphics and how well(poorly) your computer runs it. Nothing interesting and very mundane story. But there isn't much after that. The graphics in this game is amazing. But i find the gameplay quite a bore.
Wanna know something funny.I was going to title this review "airheaded," because that's my one-word summation of the game.But in a moment of absent-mindedness, when trying to get to THIS page, I accidentally typed "airheaded" into the Amazon search engine, rather than "Crysis."The spooky thing is that, at least as of the date of this writing, when you type in "airheaded" into Amazon's search engine, "Crysis Maximum Edition" is the first search result returned. What innovation.2. Not that a first person Armageddon-style shoot 'em up is supposedly to be heavily intellectual; it's just that we've seen this so many times before: you go around shooting a whole bunch of monsters, gradually acquiring more and more powerful weapons until basically you're fighting Satan himself at the end.Good stuff. But there's not a twist in sight here, it's just the same ol' same ol'.And it seems like they could have even thought out the brainless butchery a little better:1.
You've seen it a million times before. The second second is, admittedly, trippy. Promising, but brief.3. Only here your final adversary is so close and the camerawork is so shaky that you can hardly tell what's going on.In short, nothing new to offer. Guess what happens in the final section. Like Amazon was reading my mind.Or, more realistically, I can't be the only guy thinking that this game is a little short on, uh, pabulum.
It involves floating through a Jefferson Airplane-style alien mothership. Awfully stable engine, though. Classic. The first section has you tromping through the jungle wasting a bunch of Asians.
ad infinitum. As previously mentioned the AI often responds inappropriately. This game worked fine on my sub-par machine with minimal slowdowns, excellent graphics, and no crashes.The story is good and the characters are believable.The problem is the game play. There is no other way to defeat enemies, unless you have it on easy. It gets boring fast. The graphics are nice but its jungle jungle jungle. The way I have to fight enemies is cloak, run to new location, fire at a couple, cloak again, run to a new location, fire at.
You can enhance your speed and dash up to enemies then switch to armor mode to take more bullets, and then you can cloak and take out enemies predator style. You should also have at least 2 GB of RAM, which is overlooked a lot, especially on Vista machines. You will feel like a super soldier most of the time and in a good way.
The engine looks amazing and I can see why it is so demanding on hardware. If you have the hardware and liked FPS with freedom to run around and dispose of enemies however you like, then you should try this game. You have to have a (now in these days) a decent machine with a newer graphics card and at least a dual core CPU.
This game is really a intense and crazy fun game. Go stealthy or action hero, it is your choice. It is truly a great experience.
You are a special forces troop wearing a super suit. There is no one way to play this game.
This is the most close to real of any RECENT game as feeling like being a Predator like soldier is. I mean, there is nothing sweeter than killing a foe with your invisibility cloak engaged or jumping high with the maximum strength feature of your suit or running lightning fast with the maximum speed feature. A lot have been said about this great game. The feeling I get while playing this incredible game is that I am some kind of Predator but for good cases.
