The most wicked shooting game ever!

User Rating: 9.5 | Crysis PC
Firstly, lets get the graphics out of the way. I played the whole game on very high with a good resolution and it was the most visually stunning experience I have ever had. From the lush forest to dark spaceship, to the icy plateau, the game looked brilliant. This coupled with the sound and physics makes you feel really immersed into the game and in earlier levels made me feel (I know it sounds silly) 'cool'.

The actual gameplay is incredible. Without the nanosuit It plays like a REALLY good FPS, but when you add the nanosuit and its functions, it becomes something you have never experienced before. Constantly firing rounds into Koreans that look the same can get quite repetetive, but there are some variations in gameplay like vehicle battles and in the second half of the game, there are no more Koreans and you have a whole new, exciting enemy to deal with.

As for the story, it makes the game very intense. In the first half of the game there isn't much of a story and it's mainly 'go there, blow up that', but this is a good thing, because at first you just want to enjoy the gameplay. In the first half of the game you choose how you want to approach situations. You can be all stealthy and flank the enemy, or you can go in all guns blazing, although the later isn't the best idea. In the second half of the game it goes from letting you do what you like as in how you approach situations to a totally linear experience. Personally I think this is brilliant because it really immerses you into the story (that lacked in the first half) and makes you focus on your objective more, which makes the game feel very 'epic'.

Something that I have to adress is the level 'Core'. Now i've heard alot of people saying that this level is really boring and frustrating because its like a maze, but I actually found it quite fun and not really frustrating at all, I found it quite easy to find my way around and it is also visually stunning which made it worthwhile in my eyes.

Overall it is a fun, innotive and visually stunning game which you should definately check out if you are a fan of FPS's.
