Crysis is the other fps' current crisis.

If your computer is up to snuff, go grab the demo of the most refined and technological advanced game on the pc ever. Sure there's some minor gripes but for me it's always easy to start nitpicking the heck outta of it and I say, is it any good? Yes. Is there any better fps out there right now? I don't think so.

Imagine FarCry a load times better cause it doesn't have any of the problems Farcry had, such as, shooting against vegetation and the bullets stopping right there in the uber resistant all mighty palm tree leaves while you're trying to headshot some stupid mercenary. Or monsters that reach you even if they're two meters away from you. Or the crappy voice acting. Now add it the single greatest most optimized fine tuned game engine ever created and a suit so you can go around playing human predator. Well that's it, there's nothing you can't use (only in a few instances your imagination might come across the game almost VR fabric that strings it all together). Examples, you can't mix up powers of the suit, at least yet, or stay always in cloak mode after you fire a shot (the cloak goes down after you shoot, makes sense cause it would make the game overtly easy that way). You cannot also hijack a patrol boat while there's sentries in there, and there were a couple of instances where i just killed everybody and some korean dude didn't do nothing other than just being there sit, watching the carnage ensue.

Still, it's so **** great compared to anything else. Graphics are the best i've ever seen here, i had never looked at a human character that looked so human. on the lowest settings. This almost looks like the first ff movie that came out on theaters. Even greater is that while crytek said that 2gbs ram would be needed to play it, they also said that the main ideia was to make it look pretty and smooth on pcs that would be the **** some years ago and, actually, yeah it does run on older systems like it was nothing. Crytek made the greatest graphics engine ever and i'm not overreacting. The music is awesome, reminds me of a lot of things like "John Carpenter's The thing" theme on the menu and when you are fighting you have this music that is highly reminiscent of the music used on the trailer for Undying. Which fits it just nicely. What's left to say?

I dunno if I dig the scenario all that much but that's a question of personal taste, I mean after a while i get kinda tired of outdoor setpieces only, I don't dig that americans vs north koreans thing all that much tho, it is entertainment and, in the context of the game it makes sense. i think they coulda've avoided all these kinds of cliches and make it all "place unknown, nationality unknown". And i dunno if I'll like fighting that kind of monsters the whole time, i hope there's some variation other than only war- of-the-worlds-esque alien creepies.

Anyways, get the demo.
