[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="aliblabla2007"] Haven't played the full game, but from the demo I infer that it's basically a "respond to a situation however you like, as the game throws them at you" type non-linear game, not a "pick something and it'll affect the rest of your game for good" Deus-Ex type game.Faber_Fighter
Yes, I meant the gameplay, not the actual story. it's not an RPG. But yeah, that's basically the jist of it.It's more short term non-linear play, than long term RPG type playing. The FPS's I was referring to that are less linear were games like Deus Ex and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines and Fallout 3 which are more FPS/RPG's. Far Cry 2 is really the only other standard FPS that is less linear than Crysis I believe. Although I could be wrong.
The demo pretty much shows the only non linear game play part of it. After you pass the jungle area which is around half the game from memory it becomes just a normal FPS with simple "go there, press 1 button to access computer, go next area, ect.." type missions. Though i'm probably exaggerating it a little bit :P If you actually pay attention when you are in the jungle areas though, you more or less follow 1 single road, then maybe have a decision between 2 small jungle paths which lead to the same area. All that kind of stuff. Just compared to RPGs and shooters like Far Cry 2 it's hard to say it isn't linear in one way or another :PMisread so making an edit. :P
I just said though, the missions ARE linear, there are a couple times in the game where you can choose which mission to do first, but that's about it.. How you choose to get there and how you do it though, is up to you. Jump in a boat and go around the bad guys and sneak up from behind. Hop in a jeep and drive into the front guns blazing. Sneak up in the bushes and snipe your opposition. Sneak in with your camo suit, then go guns blazing, and switch between the 2. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
This is the only game I know of where you can jump onto a hut wherein enemies reside, punch in the roof, killing any enemies inside. Drop down into the building and use it as cover taking out a couple bad guys. Use speed mode to run out into the brush outside the camp, and take out the rest of the enemies with stealth. See, this is just simply amazing. :)
