Beautiful graphics, highly addictive, brilliant game!
One of the main reasons why I was so hooked on it, was to see all these beatiful grpahical effects the game had to offer. Though mostly the game lagged so much that the voices wouldnt ad lip with the animation on screen, it didnt really bother me cause the graphics were so beautiful. My favorite part was (!spoiler alert!) inside the alien lair (?) They made the anti-gravity envoirment really like it was some underwater facility. (spoiler end)
Oh, and all these explosive effects throughout the game... well they pretty much blew me away! You can really see that helicopters gets blown to bits and theres smoke, fire and metal everywhere. Throw a grenade inside a house made of tree and you'll see it be blown into a pile of splinters.
Kudos to Crytek for makign a very good AI. I as afraid that they would end up bein TOO stupid, but although in game it could be a bit annoying, it was still pretty cool that the Korean soldiers would stalk you if you ran away or eventually try to search for you if you use cloak.
Now here comes the story... I was worried that the story would be too thin, but I was in fact very hooked on it. I would wish that there was more information on the characters though and how they made the nanosuits as well, in fact, there is a lot of things that I have put questionmark on, but I still think that the story of the game is quite solid and after I finished the game I almost shouted "I want to know more! I want to play the next Crysis game!".
I was quite disappointed by the ending, but considering Crysis beign the first part of a trilogy, it aint that bad, it just makes you want more.
Although it is a nice feature, I have to admit that I was hoping that the nanosuits had much more abilities. I think I only used Maximum Armor and cloak throughout the game, only used Speed and Maximum Strength when it was neccessary. But the nanosuit is in fact handy, and the game woulda been boring without it, but hopefully we'll see more features to the suit in Crysis 2.
Overall I would recommend Crysis, if you have a powerful PC, otherwise wait till the game comes out for the PS3 and xbox 360. The game contains so many amazing elements that I havent really seen in other games, making this game even more unique. Though the game isnt super perfect, it is indeed one of the best FPS games I have tried.
