 Product Description: Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contactwith the team is lost when the North Korean Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island. The ship generates an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion of the island and drastically alters the global weather system. Now the US and North Korea must join forces to battle the alien menace. With hope rapidly fading, you must fight epic battles through tropical jungle, frozen landscapes, and finally into the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G showdown. Unique in-game vehicle from US pre-sell campaign ESRB Rated RP for Rating Pending Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-05-05 Amazing, but far from perfect. If you want a great looking game and you have great PC gear, this is the game for you. Replayable: Yes. Fun: Yes. Graphics: The best! Game engine in general: Fantastic. Story: Not even close to original. Consistency: None.
Basically, the game engine itself is great; it's like FarCry multiplied by 100. The story, though, is very old hat and very predictable. The greatest problem for me was the sudden change in the whole feel of the game: once you enter the mountain, it's essentially a different game altogether-- disapointingly so if you liked sneeking around in the bushes stealthfully dispatching enemies on a beautiful tropical island. the last part of the game is a run and gun shooter with timed abjectives. (It's as if the first part is a sequel to FarCry and the last part is deleted missions from Quake 4.) Did I mention that the game spawns bad guys mid level, sometimes all around you? Very irratating if you're carefully clearing an area and suddenly guys spawn behind.
In short, I loved the game and replay it constantly. However, I only replay the first part (up to the mountain) and I would never say that it's flawless. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-03 Crysis makes me wanna Cry There aren't many games that leave me in awe. Crysis is one of those games. I recently built my first PC, and I used this game as the benchmark for the caliber of components I would need. I simply had to enjoy this game in all its glory. This game (and the components) was worth every penny. It is truly a new benchmark in the FPS genre. The detailed environments are nothing short of amazing. The gameplay is totally engrossing and exciting. I'm running it using a quad core Q6600, eVGA 8800GT, Gigabyte ep35c mobo, 4gb of corsair DDR2, WD 500gb, Pioneer 20x DVD drive, and Corsair 650w PSU. Thanks to these components I've got all "high" settings across the board. Wow. What an experience. I thought Gears of War and Bioshock had great graphics (which they still do). This game has that level of realism that most games only dream of. See the other reviews for more specifics about the plot, but I can't really think of any gripes. The collector's edition contains a nice artwork booklet and an audio disc, along with a behind the scenes disc that takes you deeper into world of Crysis. Some may not need the extras, but they're nice to have. Rating:  Date: 2008-03-15 Amazing gameplay and graphics. Cool new game engine I really enjoy this game so far. I like the mechanics of the game, the graphics, the mission system, all of it. Its a very well done game. Rating:  Date: 2008-03-08 Great game !! This game is definitely one of the best FPS on PC. With awesome graphics and an unique gameplay, it's just an experience that no PC gamer should ignore.
The collector package is quite good, with bonus and audio tracks. And the box cover is just amazing !
Of course, before buying this game, check that your PC can handle it. The official website of Crysis allows you to do that. Even in a "low" configuration the game is still pretty nice and the game experience is good.
The game is a bit too short, but you can restart a new game and never play the maps the same way, due to the different possibilities in each level.
Don't ask yourself if you should play it, just buy it and play ! There is definitely an after-Crysis and a post-Crysis for all gamers !
