WOW, where do I start, Crysis has got to be the greatest game ever made bar none.
When you think the game cant get any better, it does, and it just rubs any competitions face in it. One second ur blasting out the back of a dropship at aliens when suddenly you need to take control of the ship and guide it through tornadoes while trying to avoid a frozen storm while all the time being blown away by the games visuals!
The game is stupidly addictive, and you simply cant put it down until its done, you can finish the campaign on Delta mode in just over 10 hours or so, but thats some serious good going with not much exploring and deviations. If you wanted to do all sub missions, explore eis base and encampment this game would take way more than 30 hours, and for a game with this much detail, thats just crazy.
Visually is where this game stands far from the crowd, the vistas are just mind blowing making you feel like youve been thrown into a Rambo movie crossed with LOST. Tearing through the jungle with helicopters hot on your tail, bursting out into a river, jumping into a speed boat and blasting down the rivers, jumping off waterfalls and power diving into deep pools to save ur hide just makes all competition seem week and scripted. This is where the games at, and takes all the good bits from Far Cry and mixes in some of the best bits from the best actions films and forms more of an interactive blockbuster movie.
To put it short, this game is a system hog, but with a half decent system you can get it running 35+ fps for the majority of the game bar the last boss fight which gets a bit chuggy. I'm running with a Quad Core Q6600 Pro, GF8 GTS 320 OC2, 2GB Ballistix and Raptor Drive, totaling about £600's worth of system if you really hunt around, and I would do it again just to play this game. Its totally future proof so when we drop those sexy GF9's in our system we can play the game through again for a totally new experience.
Dont listen to these console whores about ti being a broken game, yes it has its bugs, but what games dont, especially ones that push the boundries quite as much as this one. Those bugs will get patched in a few weeks and those people wot have anything to say. I own consoles, i love them, but when it comes to serious visuals and gameplay, PC all the way! GO CRYSIS!
