upon reading many reviews stating how great this game is from other players and the average to above average score that it got i expected a good game. i've only played briefly into the game but what i've noticed is that enemies can spot you from the distance of the map and can accurately shoot you from there as well. i'm still trying to figure out who thought it was a good idea to be shot by enemies you can't see. i've played the game for about 30 minutes and got stuck on the 1st area. no, not hours into the game on the hardest difficulty, i haven't even made it to the first big checkpoint as the enemies can nail me from anywhere. this is on the "normal" setting. all in all, it looks alright, sounds alright but has ridiculously cheap enemy ai and my character seems to not respond as he should (i was killed trying to jump into a guard tower that for no reason at all my character refuesd to jump into even after 6 or 7 jumps) i'd like to return this game and get my money back and write hatemail to crytek.

edit: it was brought to my attention that some feel my review unfair. i thought "y'know i was kinda harsh on it, i'll give it another shot" and to my credit i've played it twice more and both of those times were mostly filled with blinding fury at being shot through walls by virtually everything, not actually being able to go that many places "oh look i can surely climb that ladder... really? super awesome nano suit super soldier can't climb that ladder?" and being instaspotted the moment you uncloak. i guess my last complaint is the magically appearing soldiers. im not sure if the enemies are supposed to have nano suits like me, but if they are then that wasn't explained very well as i've had enemies pop directly in front of me.

long story short : i stand by my original score.

    Editor's note: I have not played the PC version. I'm sorry everyone… Why does everyone get so stoked about the first Crysis? It's nothing special or unique save for the fact that it was released as a high-profile PC e... Read Full Review

    Right off the bat the thing that stands out the most are the stunning visuals. Mind boggling seeing these kind of visuals on a 5-6 year old machine. I have to say this is probably the best visuals I've ever seen on a con... Read Full Review
