PC Zone Crysis Warhead Review - 92%

Warhead, says PC Zone, remedies many of the issues that players had with the first game; the sometimes dodgy AI, unspectacular aliens turning up... Very high praise follows...

"With its budget price and improved multiplayer, there's more than enough here to cheer nay-sayers," says the mag,

"One of the most striking things about Warhead is the way it shakes the template Crysis snowglobe and has its constituent parts drift and settle into surprising new patterns. In Crysis encounters with enemies were heavily cordoned off from each other, in Warhead anything goes.

...

"Warhead honestly is the finest burst of action gaming released so far this year, and if you're canny then you'll be able to pick it up for a mere £15 from online retailers. It's a five hour tour-de-force that's plugged the holes in Crysis with diamonds."

Looks like a must-buy for me! Think Crytek could have another Shooter of the Year contender on its hands?

funny guy

i was never impressed by crysis....i mean it's cool you can pick stuff up and throw it i think all fps should have this from now on standard....the character models look good.....the nano is kinda annoying though....high jumping doesnt last long or running fast or invisilbity .

but the actual level design/overall texture detail i thought was crap a few textures look good...but most are average.

Texture detail was cr*p??? OMFG that in itself proves you have no idea what you are talking about, Crysis has the highest quality textures yet!

no actually they look crappy upclose.

Crysis is a game that adheres to the norm of today's shooters. High-tech suits, superpowers and aliens; a game that is ''all flash, but no substance''. You won't find any lasting appeal to this game once you cease to admire its pretty graphics, leaving the game on a cold, empty shelf once you're done with this otherwise uninteresting tech demo.

that is exactly why it got a 9.5 from here(and Shooter of the Year) and a 9.4 from IGN right?

Really..is that why GS gave it a 9.5 and said it has awsome gameplay in its review..is that why its got awsome metacritic reviews because of graphics alone?..

your an idiot thinking crysis was JUST about graphics..almost every Console game is about graphics, people dont hype up gears 2 for gameplay..because its just more of the same..so they just hype up graphics..and i highly doubt you even played Crysis..

I have had it since last November and still play through singleplayer levels, and mess around in the sandbox.

While Halo 3 CE and COD4 sit 'coldy' on my shelfs crammed full of games

PC gamers are getting a bit air headed over scores.

Warhead will probably be AA, and I can see STALKER Clear Sky getting an A score, AA if fortunate.

Standards people, standards, keep your own expectations above those of the reviewers.

Dont overhype.

A good dose of pessimism towards even anticipated games, will stop gushing over it.

Awesome! I loved Crysis so much, I definitely will be picking this up. :)ZimpanX
