best graphics yet
this game has the best graphics as of yet and is extremely fun, but also very buggy, I can't even beat the end boss because my rocket won't lock onto him like it should (it's an essential part of the story) so I can't beat the game.

Pisses me off to no end
I'm not a big fan of Crytek, if you can't tell by the title. Far Cry and Crysis both are games designed to need really expensive equipment to run, for no particular reason at all. Half Life 2: Episode 2 looks FAR better than this, along with the physics engine being better and less buggy, with good characters and story, and fun gameplay ideas. These are all things that Crysis lacks.
It's almost like Nvidia, ATI, and Intel are paying Crytek to make a game that computers can't run, just to sell hardware. I got through the first few hours of the game, and I couldn't even bear to play it any more after that, because it just wasn't any fun to play. I felt the same way about Far Cry.
Do yourself a favor and avoid playing this game. You'll save a lot of money upgrading your system to the required levels for this game to even look decent. There's hundreds of better games out there.

Built for Intel / NVidia: My High-End AMD / ATI Doesn't play well
AMD Phenom Black Ed. 4 X 2.5ghz
4 Gig DDR2 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz
Sapphire HD3800x 512 PCIE X16 DDR4
IN a full aluminum tower with 5 fans (overclocks under 42C)
I don't believe in spending $1000 for an equivilant Itell processor or $500 for an NVidia card! But this game, I swear, it's purpose is to not run on AMD / ATI and make gamers feel compelled to buy expensive, but no better, parts.
This game can't run smooth on High, much less Very High setings! I can run "The Witcher" "Bioshock" "Jericho" "Hellgate: London" all at the highest setting and never drop a frame, but this game stutters and spits.
Can't play the game, medium graphics are not up to par with PS2. I don't know what went wrong with the design of this game, but it's not special enough to condend with all the issues.

A single player's perspective
I've never been one for multiplayer games, in a world full of competition, the last thing I want to do is come home at the end of the day to compete against more people.
The single player genre has been lacking of late, apart from a few gems (COD4). With a market dominated with online oriented games, crysis offered something that is becoming rarer and rarer - a refreshing character driven progressive story that isn't just tacked on to teach the player how to handle the multiplayer.
Crysis's storyline is thrilling and the hardships and events Nomad experiences as you move through the game keep you glued to your monitor. The AI is spot on and the NK troops genuinly seem to freak out when you fade back into the jungle after picking off a couple of there squad mates.
a definite must for those whose computers can handle the load

all im gonna say is... FREAKING AMAZING
ok, so i ended up buying this game for my old pc (built in 2004, so it's kinda out dated) and i could barley play the game on low, so i kept going over to my friends house to play this game, and i loved it so much that i built a $2,000 computer mainly to play this game and counter strike (i play tournaments on CS 1.6)! ...haha well those 2 games and a lot of other stuff...
new pc specs: EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTS KO Edition, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (overclocked to 3.3Gb), ABIT IP35 Pro Intel LGA775 P35, Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620W, Corsair XMS2 DHX 4096MB Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz, Antec Nine Hundred, Zalman CNPS9700LED Ultra Quiet Cpu Cooler, Western Digital WD5000KSRTL Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drive, Creative Labs PCIE Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium FATAL1TY Professional Series, Logitech Z-5500, Samsung SyncMaster 953BW 19"
... IT PLAYS AMAZING! i use all settings on High with NO lag what so ever. Seriously seriously recomend getting this game! (and also my pc set up!), only reason i gave this game 4 stars is that it requires very High end computer.
