CryTek Listened So It's Better!
User Rating: 9 | Crysis Warhead PC
Pay no attention to the complaints about dumbed down GFX. Warhead looks great, and in general, runs better on a wider array of hardware than Crysis did. The storyline has been substantially improved by making the US vs NK part of the conflict more central to the story than in Crysis. Aliens? Yea, they're still there, and very important to where you go and what you have to accomplish, but not to the extent of Crysis, or as in the case of the unlamented Trigents in Far Cry. Gameplay is fairly scripted; you're not going to be able to stray off the assigned path too far, but this game ranks up there with COD4 in respect to it's how scripted shooters should be done! The only real nitpick I have is apparently the game is designed to only use 256MB of video RAM, so unless you install a custom system.cfg file in the game (as detailed at the Warhead guide at tweakguides.com) it chugs on many systems. Use the tweak to make the game use all your video ram (especially on top end cards or cards in SLI) and it runs like gangbusters. CryTek regains a lot of the gamer cred it lost with the too hardware intensive and alien ridden Crysis. Unlike many..........this sequel is definitely better!
