Is crysis worth it? And a few other q's

Okay so i just got a new laptop (i know laptops aren't gaming computers) and i put the crysis demo on there, and it runs it on high with medium res or very high with low res (the one up from 800x600) and i was wondering, is the full game worth it? I saw it for $20 and was thinking about picking it up. Also i wanted to know what other "must have" games are out there today. I have not been able to game on a pc in a long time because my old computer was so old the graphics card had to pixel shader! So i recenlty bought COD: WaW and that's fun but looking to expand my collection. Btw, i am a real fan of RTS and FPS games. And i like some turn based games like CivIV and i have been searching for a city builder as good as Sim City but have never found one...

Really depends. Crysis is only good for its story. Multiplayer gets boring really fast. If you like the story aspect of games (and destructible environments :P) then get it. I personally love it and is my favourite story for a shooter. And the suits good. If your only looking for multiplayer don't get it as the multiplayer really isn't that great but sure love the singleplayer can't wait for Crysis 2 if they still plan on making it :).blade55555

Since when did Crysis have a good story? It's not a terrible story but I barely finished it and I the story didn't keep me going. Bioshock, Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4, and Half-Life2 all had better stories than Crysis.

I suppose if you've never played crysis before you should pick it up but there are better fps games available.

the story isn't anything special at all

still, it's a fantastic game. certainly worth $20.
