Crysis was released a few years back and was way ahead of its time graphically speaking without having an expensive games rig. I bought it on the release date and never managed to run it properly until recently when i got a new computer, which is a basic spec acer machine for a couple of hundred quid. I can now play it in high settings and appreciate the rich environments which you can destroy. The basic plot is you are part of an elite army unit sent in to recover kidnapped scientists but they've unearthed some aliens. So now you have to take out aliens in addition to the bad guys swarming all over the island. Fortunately, you have a special suit that increases various abilities such as strength, speed etc... Game controls are intuitive and there are various ways of taking out an enemy encampment. A refreshing first person shooter. You can get this game for a few quid now which represents huge entertainment value. Once you're through with the game you can play various additional maps or even have a go creating your own.Read full review
First of all you need a capable graphics card to run this game and a fast computer. I use a GTS 450 graphics card installed in an AMD 64x2 Dual core 4800+ computer. I don't normally play PC games but I read lots of reviews that praised this game so I thought I would give it a go. I was not disappointed. The graphics and game play were stunning and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can recommend it and I am now looking to get Crysis 2 for the PC. The only issue I had playing the game was in one of the levels. I had seemingly killed all the targets but the game thought otherwise and would not let me progress to the next level and I was stuck - I had to quit the game and try that level again! After reading about known bugs (on the internet) that sometimes happens in this game, I downloaded the latest software fix and then I had no problems for the remainder of the game. Unfortunately, the software fix was about 350MB and hence it took several hours to download it off the website.Read full review
The game works well on modern hardware, and shows no major signs of compatibility issues in my use so far :)

Crysis has always been an excellent shooter; It represents even a speed reference for your PC, if it can run it, your gaming rig is good. But for the hardcore gamer the story and gameplay leaves them wanting a more profound, deeper, more credible story. Other than the Hate you get for being an EA game I find it entertaining, with excellent graphics and good difficulty (Hard mode).
