Arms Race

But as awesome as the Nanosuit abilities are, you'll still rely on good old ballistics-based weaponry to mow down your foes. You can carry a pistol--or two, if you want to dual wield--two larger guns such as rifles, a rocket launcher, and three types of grenades; oh, and some C4 as well. There are several human types of human weapons including a few types of assault rifles, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a chaingun and the incredibly effective Gauss Rifle that works wonders for taking down pesky airborne aliens.

With the exception of one or two guns, almost every firearm in Crysis can be customized on the fly; you can bring up a menu and add attachments like a silencer, flashlight or laser pointer. With some assault guns, you can also add a grenade launcher or tranquilizer dart attachment.

Tech Crunch

Even without the picture-perfect graphics and spectacular technological prowess, Crysis is a great action game that can stand up against any great FPS. The acting and story aren't spectacular, but using the Nanosuit makes this open-ended adventure one that is fun from start to finish. Of course, the game isn't perfect. The multiplayer mode leaves a little to be desired as games can last way too long, but the maps are well thought out and the Nanosuit abilities translate over well to the multiplayer experience. Also, the constant tweaking of system specs needed to get the game running optimally is also a drag, and the average PC gamer will probably find that their system is nowhere near powerful enough to get this beast even up and running to standard.

Still, despite its power hungry ways, Crysis is an enticing adventure all the way through to the end. It's a worthy follow-up to the excellent Far Cry and a great step forward for PC gaming as a whole. --Chris Morell

The graphics in this game really aren't as good as people make them out to be. The foliage looks really bad and un-antialiased(except for a few pieces of foliage which look really good). The textures are pretty darn good though. The real fun thing about this game is that you can pretty much do whatever you want to do. But Killzone 2 and Gears of War 2 definitelly look better than this game since I have seen all of these games in motion(and that I own Crysis).

And At Sonyboy69, why do you constantly bring up RROD. It isn't even a problem anymore. As long as your console was made after the 2006 update to the 360 hardware you are fine. And furthermore, why would you come to a pc gaming review and bash the xbox 360. Why can't you just suck it up and realize that the xbox 360 is a great and balanced console. When will people realize that consoles are all the same. Computers specialized to play games. Facts/Fanboys(facts over fanboys)!
