Decent shooter, bad Crysis

I loved the first Crysis, namely the levels BEFORE entering the mines. I loved the freedom, the feeling of being the hunter, moving through shadows, planning my attacks from the tops of the hills... From the trailers I though the Warhead will be similar, but no. Warhead is much more straightforward experience with more animations, scripts and explosions. All I wanted were couple of compounds to infiltrate, decimate and escape. Instead of that I got escort missions, chase missions and horror like adventure in mines. Be wary before you buy: If you loved the "jungle" part of the Crysis 1, it's not for you. But if you enjoyed the "alien" part, then Warhead is what you want.

Good game, much better than Crysis

I've bought both games: Crysis and Crysis Warhed, the standalone expansion. For me Crysis Warhead is definitely the better game. The scenery, the dynamics, the sequences (even the underground/cave part) and the whole concept is much better than the original game. And the protagonist - Psycho - has, for me at least, more personality, than that Nomad guy from the first game. Yes, the story isn't groundbraking but still, entertaining. For continuity, I still recommend everyone, to play the first game (Crysis 1). One of the biggest advantage in this game, that you don't need to use the "take/use" key anytime, you want to pick up ammor or similar. The game makes it automatic for you. The game isn't very long (about 6 hours for me), but I enjoyed it. Hope, that one day, GOG library gets Crysis 2 and 3.

Even better than the first Crysis!

Crytek's experience with making the first Crysis game shows here as this game does everything better. The pacing, story, and gameplay elements are all superior in Crysis Warhead. This game feels a bit like playing a hybrid of Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty. And it's every bit as outstandingly good as that comparison implies it is. The outstanding quality of the graphics has made this game age very well, and there were still many moments where beautiful explosions in action-packed scenes made my jaw drop. If you enjoyed any of the Half-Life games or the Call of Duty games, this is a must-play game!

Fun game but very unstable

Visually it's still very pleasing to the eye, mechanically it's identical to the original Crysis, and Psycho is just a more interesting character than Nomad ever was. Warhead also offers a campaign that's a bit more action packed and fast paced. Of course, the sandboxy nature of the levels is still retained, with the degree of freedom that you seldom see in non-open world first person shooters, but it's clear that the developers were going for something that encourages the player to keep the momentum and move from one action set piece into the next. Overall it's good fun, provided that you can keep it running stable, which is my only gripe with the game. DirectX 10 mode is a clear culprit here so if you're fine with sacrificing some graphical fidelity, just stick to the regular executable where the game could run at a much more stable DX9. Otherwise you'll have to deal with frequent crashing, third party fixes for the refresh rate issue (if you play in 4k, for instance), and some graphical glitches. It's too bad that this standalone expansion wasn't included in the remastered trilogy because it could really benefit from improved stability, better graphics API, and modernized controller support.
