Crysis®

What? A dull shooter that brought joy to video card manufacturers. I had a friend who fried his Radeon card because the fans went like a reactor whenever this game ran. Like i said, a dull shooter with some top secret suit, on an island, trying to admire nature but rudely interrupted by Koreans only to discover that the reason for you being there is much more "sinister" than you have ever imagined with an ending good for a Hollywood movie. It aged...well.... okey, i guess. At the time i realized this one was in the books only as a benchmark game. The only thing to discuss about this game is that it came in 2007 and its graphics were more than impressive, yey. Story? Not worth mentioning it. Characters? Neaah. Sound? Maybe, yes. Gameplay? Nothing revolutionary even for its time but decent, and fluid with a fair amount to explore on a fair map.

Добротный бенчмарк. Больше, к сожалению, сказать нечего.

Не игра в Кризис на выходе, а зря! сейчас бы не пришлось это терпеть. В шутере, совершенно, не понравилась шутерная механика... Да, красивенько, но кроме это похвастать-то и нечем.

В далеком 2007 специально обновлял компьютер под эту игру. Были большие надежды после замечательного FarCry. Увы и ах, геймплей оказался очень скучным, вялым, пресным. А одной лишь графики недостаточно. Графика - первые 15 минут впечатлений, дальше на нее уже не обращаешь внимания.

Before I got my hands on Crysis I had heard a lot of praise. Therefore, I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed quite a bit with the game that some claim to be legendary. The game offers open spaces as if encouraging you to explore, but really there is no real point to do so. There is no loot, you can't get any special weapons or anything. There is no reason to not follow the main objectives. The selection of guns is very limited, and I found most of them quite boring and unimpressive. The gunplay is quite weak in my opinion and not satisfying at all. The enemies are quite bullet spongy, while it does not take a lot to kill you. The story, in my opinion, is not very good. Although I did like the whole ancient alien angle. The voice acting is nothing to write home about and the characters themselves are not very interesting. On the technical side, I experienced a lot of annoying crashing without any error message. Also, I had some frame drops in some places. Not sure if it was my PC or what. I am able to run much newer games much more smoothly. I got bored 5 hours in and decided to drop the game. All in all, not as good as I was led to believe. I'd choose F.E.A.R. or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. over Crysis any day.
