Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way up front. On a properly configured Vista machine with DirectX 10 hardware, Crysis is the best-looking game we've ever played. Its jungle environments are lush and realistic, with plenty of wide-open areas and just a handful of loading screens in the entire game. This incredible level of graphical detail is what PC gaming is all about. Screenshots don't do this game justice. Seeing Crysis in action will take your breath away. Read more
- Stunning graphics and amazing combat. We love skulking around the jungle.
- Aside from obvious graphical improvements, Crysis lacks real innovation.

It's so difficult to sum up a great game. What more can be said about an almost perfect game. Earlier this year we were struck by the Bioshock phenomenon and a lot of people have uttered "perfect" when the game was over. The game had some serious problems but the gamers ignored them because everything else was fabulous. Well, Crysis doesn't have any problems and there are little to none issues that I can think of. I can even say it out loud: the game is almost perfect. Read more
- Graphics... duh!, Beautiful world
- The campaign is too short, A small inconsistency in the plot

Crytek's sophomore effort offers fresh gameplay and some of the most graphically stunning spectacles ever seen on a PC... if your rig can handle it. Read more
- Incredible spectacle; dynamic open gameplay; fun superhero-like powers.
- Serious system requirements; less open-ended later in the game; some bugs near the ending.

Experienced gamers are liable to acknowledge this as one of the top action games this year and that's okay with us. Everything that made Far Cry good was successfully taken to the next level in Crysis (with the possible exception of the AI). Even if we are looking at one of the biggest hardware hogs ever to grace the PC platform, and despite the AI issues, this first-person shooter comes highly recommended from us. Read more
- A visual and audio treat, weapons and the nanosuit allow for a truly great variety of tactical possibilities in combat, compelling atmosphere, high replayability, soli...
- Unresolved AI issues, it will beat any PC to its knees, abrupt ending may disappoint gamers.

Crysis simply begs to be played and can be placed alongside such PC greats as Half-Life and BioShock. It's hard, action packed, tactical and utterly amazing to look at. Read more
- Incredible to look at, Production values are top notch, Open environments make for diverse gameplay
- Later levels are quite linear

The plot is rather strange In Crysis, you take control of a US Special Forces elite member that’s equipped with a high-tech nanosuit in a search and rescue operation in the Philippines. An archaeological expedition has stumbled upon something that got the Koreans interested so they took over the entire operation comprised of US citizens. As expected, DoD could not sit idle so they authorized deployment of their most elite squad to investigate and free the hostages. Read more
- Stunning graphics even on low settings, weapon and nanosuit customization, some very nice vehicles, intriguing gameplay
- Steep hardware requirements, somewhat limited arsenal

Crysis is a wonderful game! Magnificent gameplay in both single- and multiplayer, unseen graphical marvels and audio. Ladies and gentlemen, this has to be THE PC-gaming experience of the past two years and I expect it to be for the coming couple of years as wel. Although the game really comes to life on a DX10 machine with Vista, you won’t be disappointed when playing while using DX9. Read more
- Great gameplay, Greater audio, Greatest graphics, Intense multiplayer, Solid Storyline, Just revolutionary, Both DX9 and DX10 look great
- Single player over too soon, Heavy system specs (DX10)

Many publishers opt for Turn-Based adaptations of their Real-Time strategy franchises when going handheld. In most cases, this is a good choice as successfully implementing Real-Time gameplay on vast maps for handhelds is incredibly difficult. With Dawn of Discovery for the DS, Ubisoft chose to remain true to the Real-Time format and gets away with this incredibly well. One to buy! Read more
