User Rating: 10 | Crysis Warhead PC
Of course everyone expected a lot of warhead, but it offers much more than anyone hoped for. I can't believe I'm saying this but it blew me away more than HL2 series, Fear series, Call of Duty and every other top shooters. The graphics is the most impressive aspect of the game with post processing effects, volumetric rays of sunlight seen through the leaves of trees and other objects, superb shadow and ray tracing, extreme definition textures...very realistic ground, ice, sky, high quality water & reflections and the list can continue, but you get the point, it creates an outstanding free-roam world defined by the depth of detail. All this becomes available on the Enthusiast video setting, which can be set if you have a 8800 series video board or above..thanks to CryEngine2 optimizations and nVidia Physx now the game runs smoothly with an average of 40-45 fps on a highly overclocked GTX260/280 and 30-35 on a 8800GTS512/9800GTX video board...on XP...Vista is still 5-6 fps slower than XP on Enthusiast. The physx simulation chapter is also breathtaking, with magnificent explosions, breakable objects, NPC reactions, ripples & waves in the water etc...the game has a very high AI. Unlike its great predecessor, Warhead has a fast-paced action from the start till the very end, engaging situations, lots of gadgets , new weapons, vehicles and combined with the nanosuit abilities gives you dozen ways to confront the enemy, thus creating its replay potential. One thing bothered me a little...the cut scenes, brilliantly done from a technical point of view, but less theatrical value though...but...then again, if you want that you play games like Mafia or Call of Duty 4. And it is too damn short...but the intensity compensates that.
Bottom line...it is worth playing people, you will not be disappointed at all...it it a true masterpiece, I guarantee you that...but if you want to get the full satisfaction you gotta have a high-end pc.
