Crysis

Worth the wait but the reward is short.

User Rating: 8 | Crysis PC

I finally pulled the money together for a new PC since my 4 1/2 year old Alienware was no longer cutting it. The bad part about Crysis was that it took far longer to assemble my custom, newegg PC than it did to beat the game.

The gameplay is solid, the graphics gorgeous, the sound really involved, the storyline fantastic... but I purchased it on a Tuesday and had it beat on Thursday, while playing other games in between... and in the middle of a work week.

The cliffhanger ending really makes you salivating for more but when I purchase a game, I want to pull some time out of it. I've spent 700+ hours on WoW, almost 600 on BF2, a little over 500 on BF2142, 160+ on CoD4, a little over a hundred on Titan's Quest. Those are the games that are worth the 50 dollars. Not Crysis.

This game would be a straight 10 for being all around just an incredible experience. But it was way too short. Very disappointing.
