Stunning. There wasn't enough hype for this game for what it's turned out to be but I award Crysis: game of the year!
Stunning visual as long as you have a decent graphics card (pref 8800gt) but I'm using an ATI x1300PRO with low settings and yet still find the game remarkably pretty. On very high settings the game as I've seen it is down right remarkable.
Gameplay: 10
Needless to say, jumping between strength mode to speed mode to cloak is more fun than I imagined, expecting slow downs and error messages. Instead I got to shoot 3 koreans, big one up and throw him of a cliff and cloak before anyone else saw me all in about 5 seconds. Marvelous.
Lifespan: 10
The single player campaign is somewhat short, but the replayability due to numerous checkpoints makes up for it. Online is what really gives this game a solid 10 for lifespan.
Online: 9
The game's online has an easy to use online browser and chat lobbies but a mere two game modes. fortunately in the upcoming patches there will be new game modes introduced and other updates - you can also view your stats online currently, which adds to the lifespan.
Atmosphere/Sound: 10
With stunning atmospheres from snow to jungle to zero gravity, Crysis immerses the player in it's believable storyline and stunning visuals. Voice acting is superb, helping you settle in and understand the plot without becoming irritating like many other games. Explosions are realistic and mesmorizing, from blowing up a jeep to airstriking a heavy cruiser, the game doesn't dissapoint.
Wow. game of the year without a doubt. Crytek manages to snatch all of what we love from fps's and slams them together in to the perfection that is: Crysis.
