So, here's an example of what a review will be like:
STORY: August 20th, 2020. You are a special operative from the American Army, in your possession a Nano Suit, which allows you to have many powers and advantages in the line of fire . You have arrived to a distant island along the Phillipines. Many distress signals have been recovered and it is you mission to find out what is happening. The story starts off slow. You are immediately dropped onto the island with very little background, but it quickly fills in that gap with action. The plot eventually begins to unfold and reaches a very large climax. It has a solid story line. A 7/10 from me.
Gameplay: It's fast and very fun. It has MANY options thanks to such an open environment Crysis provides to you. Whether you want to go stealth in stealth mode, or zip around and punch everyone in speed mode, it's up to you. Go all out on the base? or slowly pick out each one by one. Run across the beautiful beach? or take the highground in the forest? The possibilities are limitless and you will definitely play Crysis more than once. AI is ok...sometimes you get the random situation when they stand in front of you or just look at while you blow them apart with your gun. The game also offers realtime gun customisation. Want to make a stealthy appearance? Just put a silencer on your gun, throughout the game you unlock many attachments making it fun to find new items scavenged around. Probably one good thing is that some parts of the environment are destructive, for example, you see 5 soldiers run into an old shack, chuck a frag in there and the shack will collapse in real time. Their are only a few types of enemys, North Korean Soldiers, North Korean Nano Suit Soldiers and the Aliens. They are all met throughout different parts of the game. 8.5/10
Nano suit powers
Sound: Sound design is good. Guns sound realistic and the sound of the bushes and leaves crackling beneath your feet is awesome. Especially hearing birds and waterfalls off in the distance, or it be soldiers shouting tactics. A really good job here, 9/10.
An alien, (blurred so I don;t spoil it)
Controls: Controls are similar to a normal fps, very easy to grasp. 10/10
Graphics: Sorry, let me clean my keyboard. Crysis has amazing graphics and easily surpasses many games of today, even being a DX10 title. It's amazing how during gameplay you can just wonder off and find your self in a trance and admiring all the amazing details they have put into there game. Extremely good! 10/10
In conclusion, I give the game a 8.5 out of 10. It's a meaty shooter (8-12hrs) and great fun. You will surely love this game!
