Crysis 1 is one of my favorite first person shooters of all time. I love this game to bits. It sits along side FEAR for being an amazing game let down by some mediocre sequels. It plays a lot like a modern equivalent of Goldeneye. A lot of tactical game play and very much made for PC. This game looked amazing for it's time and still looks good today. Only now you don't need a super rig to run it. Just about any machine can run it these days so give it a shot and see what all the fuss was about.

What sets Crysis apart from most other FPS titles is the sheer freedom you have in its levels. Overall the levels are linear, but so incredibly large that you can approach almost any mission objective in several different and interesting ways. And unlike other sandbox FPS's, the overall linear progression means that you keep moving into totally new areas. Add to this your powered nanosuit with different abilities and the possibilities will seem endless. In one level you have to make your way to a dock, about 1km away. You can decide to ambush an enemy jeep, you can swim along the coast, or you can swim into the bay and capture a boat. And then the dock itself is massive with several entry points. You could use your suit's armour mode to shoot your way in, strength mode to jump over an exterior wall, or cloaking mode to sneak inside. The remaining speed mode can be used to quickly reach safe/flanking positions when fighting inevitably breaks out. This open level design is however only for the first two thirds or so of the game, with the final stretch being far more constricted and action packed. It undoubtedly contains the weaker parts of the game overall, but it's still a blast to play through. As far as FPS single player campaigns go, Crysis is lengthy, especially since you'll want to replay most sections to try different things: "perhaps I should go in guns blazing this time", "perhaps I should try to hijack that truck" or "perhaps I should try to use stealth to kill all the guards". Unfortunately I never did get to try the multiplayer :( On the technical side the game is phenomenal. Moving, sneaking and engaging soldiers feel great. The AI always provide a worthy challenge. The graphics and sound effects are still outstanding. The physics engine still impresses when you level a shack by throwing a soldier through a wall. And there is a lot of graphics options to tweak for optimal performance. Anyone who's ever enjoyed an FPS will most likely love this game.

One of Crytek's greatest achievements in gaming history! Crysis is an amazing looking first person shooter that provides an excellent story with a great cast of characters, awesome varied gameplay and above all, incredible graphics that still look amazing even today!
