Looks great but with all the great physics the actors could at least have ragdolls.

Crysis is a great looking game provided you have the hardware to run everything on high. For me the visual experience was a good one and fps averaged 45 - 60 with about 80% of the options on very high and the other 20% on high. However even tho this game has great physics the developers will not allow rag doll physics on the actors due to a law in Germany where they are based. It was enabled by modifications early on but the company has patched the game to disable them permanently so for such a good looking game that takes away from immersion totally for me. If you dont care about imerssion tho and enjoy a decent shooter game every now once in a while then grab it but if you do care then dont bother wiht it.

On a simular note something I find rather odd is the fact that these companies make these games and remove graphic material just so they can be sold on more shelves as this is the case in Germany where if the game did contain this content then only specialty stores would be able to carry it since those laws are there to keep violent games out of the hands of childeren. Removing the graphic content does not make it any less violent and IMHO I feel it is underhanded to do so just to boost sales as all the kids will be begging Mom and Dad to get it for them. Personally I feel any game that involves realistic human suffering in any way either it be gory or not should only be sold in specialty stores. Just my 2c on that subject.

So if you have a nice rig and enjoy the everyday shooter then go out and get it if not then dont bother.
