crysis
Overall a pretty good game. Didn't like the waitless section as it
tends to cause vertigo!

Crytek, their best game yet
Crytek has done an excellent job with this title. Don't think you need a $10,000 computer to run this game. My computer is valued at 700 and runs the game on high settings.

Crying over a Crysis
This game is not worth what I paid for it. It's fun no doubt, however there are a few major drawbacks that make it a 1 star in my book.
I brought the game home hoping to play it on the big screen with lights off, popcorn and all, but I quickly found out how much this game needs to play right. I don't think any machine today can play this at max settings. It does play well in a small 800x600 window on my standard Dell 531s.
The sandbox idea is nice. I like it. The game allows much more freedom and sinks the player into the world of the game where there is no one path to almost every situation. I still managed to beat it in 20 hours despite the annoying aliens. Although most of the game is a lone ranger deal, there are instances in which NPC allies help out.
Multiplayer is beyond horrible; not because power struggle isn't a bad idea; not because of lag or little kids. People cheat and EA doesn't do anything about it. When was the last time you seen a helicopter turn into an icicle and shatter in midair? There was one guy that had infinite C4. The chain reaction was so bad my computer froze.
O and don't get the XUSB controller. For some reason, the config can't be changed. The left thumb stick must be held down to crouch, which hurts my hand. Also, the trigger must be fully released and pulled all the way back to fire. This is a disadvantage online against people who use the mouse to shoot since the pistol is easy to aim and shoots as fast as you can click.

Much less than expected
I probably wold not have bought this game if I had explored it first. Very disappointing is the best way to sum up my evaluation. I expected it to be like Far Cry but it is not even close to that game.The game play is average. The AI is lame,even when invisible mode on nano suit is used and you hide totally away from approaching NorthKoreans they still miraculously find you every time! Even more frustrating is the totally unrealistic game play. You can unload a full clip of ammo into a North Korean soldier's chest and he is unfazed,still shooting back! There is a stage in the game where you enter the alien mother ship. This was so tedious and BORING I swore to myself numerous times that I was going to quit playing this game forever but I stuck it out and got beyond that dreadfull level.The problems with running this game have been covered repeatedly by others and I must fully agree. I have a high end AlienWare gaming system and I could only get this game to run on the lowest settings, effectively negating the alleged great graphics Crytek boasts of. The ending,well it absolutely sucks.When I read reviews raving about this game being so fantastic and being the best game ever I think, what drugs are these people on? I suppose much of this is written by prepubescent children who are amazed by glitz. This game was way overhyped which is why I think it was so disappointing. I was generous giving this game three stars, it probably really deserves only two. Trust me,there are much better games out there. If you buy this game anyway based on how great Far Cry was you are in for a big disappointment. Not a bad game though but average at best.

super game until you get into the alien ship!!
i really liked the game a lot most of the time. But some how after the alien space floating; i lost totaly intreast in the action.looked stupid to me. Played the game on medium setting on a dual core Quad g-force 8600GT.It was fine. to bad the aliens turned out that boring.
