From the Manufacturer From the makers of Far Cry, Crysis offers FPS fans the best-looking, most highly-evolving gameplay, requiring the player to use adaptive tactics and total customization of weapons and armor to survive in dynamic, hostile environments including Zero-G. Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the North Korean Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island. The ship generates an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion of the island and drastically alters the global weather system. Now the US and North Korea must join forces to battle the alien menace. With hope rapidly fading, you must fight epic battles through tropical jungle, frozen landscapes, and finally into the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G showdown.

Fantastically Beautiful September 27, 2008 This is a great First Person Shooter (FPS), the AI is good and the graphics are spectacular. The game very open like Far Cry and BF2 are. Just started the game so I can't comment on the aliens too much but from what I have read I will enjoy taking them down.
Do not try this game on a old machine. This game reminds me of when Doom3 first came out. Very few computers could run it at full bore (Ultra Settings). Crysis is like that, but if you do have a higher end rig I recommend this to any FPS lover. I have a 3Ghz Core2 with 2Gb of system ram and a 8800GTS with 512Mb and run it on medium settings at 1440 x 900. If I go to high settings at that resolution it lags at times.
If you have the new GTX 200 series cards on a good rig this game will run great (Even Ultra settings) from what I have seen at Tom's Hardware Guide on the web.
Not bad at all! September 23, 2008 I waited a long time to get this one because my computer was old, but when I recently got a new one I was amazed at how well this supposedly system hog of a game handled on a good machine. Of course, I can imagine it wouldn't be great on a mid-level machine, but it does state the system requirements on the box and handles a whole lot better than I expected. As a game, this is a pretty good experience. to the best overall, it's no Orange Box, but hot DOG is it fun! Pretty intese fps, if you like the genre it's worth a shot.
Is there DRM on this version of Crysis? September 21, 2008 I know there are tons of reviews concering DRM on the Crysis Warhead version. Does anyone know if there is DRM with this version? Please advise.

I was really excited to play this game, but thankfully I waited for it to drop in price before buying. I have the hardware the game needs, but since it can not support my 2650x1600 display I had to drop the resolution before loading it each time. I found the enemy AI to be really good, but I got really bored of this game really quick, and eventually enabled all the cheats so I could just get through to the end and uninstall it. Hopefully I can get ten bucks for it on ebay.

Good Game, but installs a virus that is hard to remove from your PC and can open security holes in your system.
