My Special Edition came yesterday and I've been playing Crysis flat out so I've finished it, heh, don't worry its twice as long as COD 4 and that was on normal mode also, I could even see it being longer had I been a bit more patient.

To get things out of the way the game is very good, has some really epic levels, the basic suit play is solid throughout. The sci fi story didn't turn out that bad, the ending was a bit "sparse" though. Some of the cutscenes were well done and the animation is certainly first class. I do wish they had made some more levels like Contact and Rescue though, I felt they were the best in the game. The simple parts were more enjoyable for me, small huts with some north koreans. I hope the mod community gets around to producing more levels like that.

Overall there is still plenty of potential left in the gameplay itself, only in a few spots did they truly untap what Crysis should have been nearly the whole way through, even then it was fairly briefly.
