Oh my GOD!!!! I cannot express how excited I am about this game! I've been trying to see what all the fuss is about forever now, but I've never had a computer that could run it. Based on that alone I just knew it had to be magnificent. So I did what I knew I had to do in order to find out. I raked together all the extra dough I could get my hands on and built myself a custom gaming rig with no other intensions beyond playing this game maxed out on highest settings. Now I know it could have been dumb and I could have been setting myself up for a major letdown, but that's why I'm so excited!!! This game has blown my mind! Its WAAAYYY beyond what I expected! I honestly thought Metal Gear Solid 4 was the most beautiful game ever made and would not be beat for time to come, but this game makes MGS4 look like a DOS game!! Its so freakin' beautiful! Everything looks so stunningly realistic I just get lost in this! And what's better than these graphics!!?? THE GAMEPLAY!!! ITS AWESOME!!!
Some of the most innovative gameplay I've ever seen in a first person shooter. The Halos, Half-lifes, Dooms, and Quakes of the world have a LOT of stepping up to do. Those games are boring little pre-schooler games compared to this! Okay, a run-down: You're NOMAD a marine or whatever coming to this island to answer a distress call... yeah yeah.... same old same old same old right? Well, not when you throw in this fancy little cyber suit of his! The suit really makes the game for the most part. You have four basic modes. Armor, Power, Speed, and Stealth. Armor maximizes the amount of damage you take so you can basically just stand there and pump shotgun rounds in a bunch of dudes faces. Power makes you super strong. Its mostly used for jumping greater heights, but theres one other detail about it that make it my favorite mode: THE POWER PUNCH! Yeah, just run up to a guy, punch him in the head, and watch him fly 50 feet in the air. Its rediculous, but funny! Speed is cool cause it lets you walk faster and sprint at like 100 mph!! Be careful not to run smack into a wall! It can kill you!!! And stealth is... you guessed it! An inivisibility cloak for all of us MGS4 fans! Nothing like a little tactical stealth action to get your heart pumping!!!
So yeah, the suit really makes the game! The weapons are pretty cool with a few exclusive gems like the GaussGun that pack a mean punch. Nothing too flashy though. I don't really use the weapons much. I like to smack faces!!!
The story is really really cool. I'm only about half way through so far but its WAY more than what you expect from the intro! I thought I was just gonna be fighting Koreans... WRONG!!! This game takes you to another dimension! And its sick!!!
ANYWAY! This game is amazing and has changed the way I look at First Person Shooters! They don't all suck afterall!!!! Unfortunatly, if you don't have a good dual core or better with a 150dollar graphics card and about 2 to 3 gigs of memory you're gonna be missing out on what really makes this game special and that's the vivid textures, engenious physics, and enormously glorious set pieces. If you can see the sea foam as the waves ride up around your feet you just ain't seeing Crysis!! I built my rig for about the same price as I bought my PS3 - $500!! So, you don't need a $4,000 AlienWare to play the best games around. Just be smart and save a little dough. Anyway, if ever you are capable--- PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
