---------------------------------------------
Crysis is not the most "PC Friendly" game on the market, it does have some high requirements that mid-end and even hi-low PC just cant live up to. And the reason for why its bad is beacuse the whole special thing in Crysis is the graphics, but, unless your playing on Very High\ High, you wont really see something that pretty as on High or Very High (mostly beacuse of shadres). You will be forced to play on mid, while there are other games on the market that looks better (much better) then Crysis on Mid (and now, there are many equal games that looks just as good as Crysis, well, almost).
---------------------------------------------
Crysis is not really a "full big scale" game. It feels quite average actually when you get to all the other elements of the game. The graphics is pretty, but its no way near what we saw at trailers at the time, and the whole engine is heavy and sluggish. When it comes to gameplay, its exactly the same as Far Cry 1, only you have a special suit that makes things a little bit cooler, but not much of a change. On the audio side, there is nothing new, but the quality is very nice and you can really feel the "boom" that a grenade or a huge explosion will make. The story is told out nicely with good voice acting and nice scene, but overall, its not something to drive you on.

*Note that this review is written after Warhead has come out, and now I will tend to this*.

If you liked Far Cry, and have like the Crysis demo, get Crysis. In a very unexpected way, Crysis never gets repetitive, and plays out differently each time beacuse of its open world system. Crysis is a good game, it brings vehicles with it, many cool weapons, smart AI, great sound and graphics, and a lot from here. Still, as for someone that doesn't like that much the "Sneak up" of gameplay, Crysis isn't that great, even though its very fun.
Now lets get to the Warhead thing. Warhead is a 30$ game based on Crysis engine, only its tweaks up, the graphics are better and the engine works very smooth. And more then that, in Warhead the whole is "go gun them", instead of "sneak on them", which means its got some intense action. The reason I mentioned Warhead is beacuse I would recommend for everyone to just go on Warhead, and if they are looking for more, go to Crysis as well, its still a good game. Note that if you didn't played Warhead some story elements can confuse you very much (which is why you still need Crysis for Warhead).
*This review is probably diffrent for you, but I decided to write it this way to tell pepole what I think they should know about the game. If your looking for details, go to Gamepro review, and try the demo.*
