The german team behind Far Cry and the CryENGINE have come back to make one of the most hardware dependent games in along time. This game ,Crysis, is a Si-Fi First Person Shooter (FPS), and has most of us know there are so many FPSs on the market , more than you can count on yours and all your firends fingers and toes. Thats not always a bad thing beacuse the gamers know what they what in a FPS and for the most part Crysis fufils all of those needs.
When Crysis was first shown at E3 and has won many awards at E3 and GDC ,even before it was released. The spectulation with Crysis were people wondering if Crysis could measure up on its promises (great gameplay and great graphics). In all ways Crysis lives up top these promises.
The Crysis story is a typicial Si-Fi plot the main character has a special suit called "Nano Muscle Suit" and it the main gameplay mechanic and is a very interesting part of the game. The suit is capable of four modes: armor, strength, speed, and cloak. Armor lets you soak up more damage than before, strength lets you chuck grenades (and enemies), speed lets you zip arround the map in super speed, and cloak well lets you cloak.
Another cool aspect of Crysis is that you are able to customize your weapons on the fly by adding scopes, scilences and other knick knacks. Well back to the story, it starts out by you doing a Halo jump down on to Korean land. On the way down you get attacked by an unknown creature and are seperated from your team and must regroup with your team one by one. When you find your first team-mate you are told by your leader to rush to Aztec (a team-mate you sent a disstress call) and by the time you get to him he has been killed and instead of just leaving him Prophet (your leader vaporizes hiom so the Koreans dont get the Nano suit.
The rest of the story plays out like a normal Si-Fi story with some epics battles, One of the battles happend in an alien ship with zero-gravity which is flippin sweet.
Descpite Crysis being a hardware hog it is definaly a game that any one should buy. That is if they have a good enough PC to run it at at least medium and even at medium it looks great.
9.0/10
