CRYSIS adds a new dimension to gaming !! ...........
Crysis definitely marks the beginning of a new generation in the gaming world. After such a long wait , Crysis provides its players with an experience which has rarely been provided by any game till date. Crysis's main attraction is its JAW-DROPPING graphics , and the upper cases shows how serious I am .This is easily the best looking game ever with each and every element improvised to near-perfection.This game in not just about the eye candy.Crysis offers stunning gamelay and sports superb audio.
The developers are the same one that gave us 'Far Cry'.Crytek proves that the success of Far Cry was not a fluke.
Towards the story now , an asteroid crashes in the south china sea.The koreans are quick to react and secure the site.The americans sends Jake Dunn (you) to investigate the matter and to find out the true motto of the koreans.
You are provided with a prototype suit called 'the Nanosuit' which is your best ally in the game.The Nanosuit gives you the speed of 'superman' , agility like the 'spiderman' ,armour like the 'ironman' and strength of 'the thing'.The suit can be switched to 4 different modes as per the situation and preferences. You can use the 'speed mode' to escape from a tricky situation.It makes tou sprint at an unbelievable speed for a around 3-4 seconds. 'Strength mode' is helpful when you are low on ammo.It makes your punches a 1 shot kill.It also make you jump much higher.'Armour mode' gives you the an extra protection in the heat of the battle.
Probly the best and the baddest mode is the 'Cloak mode'.You can use it to become invisible for a limited period of time.Its very helpful to sneak around without getting too much of attention.If you fire while in the cloak mode, you become visible again. Cloak mode can be reactivated only after the suit's energy level reaches 100.Just keep yourself out of the enemys' bullets for a few seconds and it regenerates automatically.
The game offers weapon customisation on the go.Press 'C' and a menu pops up which lets you choose between scopes ,flashlights ,laser guides ,ammo type and silencers.This feature is very neat
as you can adopt quickly to the everchanging dynamics in Crysis.
Further down the storyline, you find out that the asteroid was acrually an alien ship.Now begins the battle for survival.You enter the 'alien-o-sphere' and you fight in ZeroG.Sweet. Not much of strategy is required to fight the aliens as you can pretty much 'run and gun' combined with proper use of the cloak mode.I have Finished the game 3 times and its always great fun.As a matter of fact ,I am so obsessed with this game that have forgotten the word 'crisis' !!
And Yes, there is also a very good multiplayer mode waiting for you.The popular 'team deathmatch' has been omitted though.
Crysis is a game which you simply have to play, provided you have a heavy duty machine.
Miss the game at your own risk .. because it is amongst five best games of all times !!
