From the Manufacturer
From the makers of Far Cry, Crysis offers FPS fans the best-looking, most highly-evolving gameplay, requiring the player to use adaptive tactics and total customization of weapons and armor to survive in dynamic, hostile environments including Zero-G. Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contact with 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. FEATURES - A unique three-act structure forces the player to use real-time armor and weapons customization to adapt constantly to an ever-changing world.
- Encounter a frightening and totally original alien species—they use their senses intelligently and work together to present the most challenging enemy yet in an FPS.
- Control of a variety of land, sea, and air vehicles including trucks, tanks, boats, and helicopters.
- Explore a living, dynamic world where earthquakes, breaking ice, landslides, and tornados pose an ever-present threat.

- Highly robust and easy-to-use mod toolset allows players to create their own expansive levels for both multiplayer and single-player modes.
- The CryENGINE 2 engine delivers the most realistic environments, spectacular special effects, physics game engine, lighting system, and enemy Al.

 System requirements July 1, 2008
Have a 3.2 ghz core 2 duo + 8800 GT. Unacceptable framerates on "high" settings on this well above average system means this game is a no-go automatically. Have heard that SLI systems and faster processors still do not fix the speed issue.
And, when you strip away the graphics by lowering the settings, there goes Crysis' selling point. The story, the lame, almost useless suit powers, the bad dialogue..it's just not worth the money.
 Much less than expected June 29, 2008
I probably wold not have bought this game if I had explored it first. Very disappointing is the best way to sum up my evaluation. I expected it to be like Far Cry but it is not even close to that game.The game play is average. The AI is lame,even when invisible mode on nano suit is used and you hide totally away from approaching NorthKoreans they still miraculously find you every time! Even more frustrating is the totally unrealistic game play. You can unload a full clip of ammo into a North Korean soldier's chest and he is unfazed,still shooting back! There is a stage in the game where you enter the alien mother ship. This was so tedious and BORING I swore to myself numerous times that I was going to quit playing this game forever but I stuck it out and got beyond that dreadfull level.The problems with running this game have been covered repeatedly by others and I must fully agree. I have a high end AlienWare gaming system and I could only get this game to run on the lowest settings, effectively negating the alleged great graphics Crytek boasts of. The ending,well it absolutely sucks.When I read reviews raving about this game being so fantastic and being the best game ever I think, what drugs are these people on? I suppose much of this is written by prepubescent children who are amazed by glitz. This game was way overhyped which is why I think it was so disappointing. I was generous giving this game three stars, it probably really deserves only two. Trust me,there are much better games out there. If you buy this game anyway based on how great Far Cry was you are in for a big disappointment. Not a bad game though but average at best.
 super game until you get into the alien ship!! June 23, 2008
i really liked the game a lot most of the time. But some how after the alien space floating; i lost totaly intreast in the action.looked stupid to me. Played the game on medium setting on a dual core Quad g-force 8600GT.It was fine. to bad the aliens turned out that boring.
best graphics yet June 22, 2008
this game has the best graphics as of yet and is extremely fun, but also very buggy, I can't even beat the end boss because my rocket won't lock onto him like it should (it's an essential part of the story) so I can't beat the game.
 Pisses me off to no end June 18, 2008

I'm not a big fan of Crytek, if you can't tell by the title. Far Cry and Crysis both are games designed to need really expensive equipment to run, for no particular reason at all. Half Life 2: Episode 2 looks FAR better than this, along with the physics engine being better and less buggy, with good characters and story, and fun gameplay ideas. These are all things that Crysis lacks.
It's almost like Nvidia, ATI, and Intel are paying Crytek to make a game that computers can't run, just to sell hardware. I got through the first few hours of the game, and I couldn't even bear to play it any more after that, because it just wasn't any fun to play. I felt the same way about Far Cry.
Do yourself a favor and avoid playing this game. You'll save a lot of money upgrading your system to the required levels for this game to even look decent. There's hundreds of better games out there.
