Crysis must be one of the hardest and most mediocre games I have ever played. But before you play this game, here are the recommended system specs:
8 core 7.80Ghz Intel Core i70
44gb of DDR8 Ram
Nvidia GTX 595 SLI
DX17
You get my point right? If you don't, I'm implying Crysis will make your computer want to kill itself. It will, I swear to god.
If you however got your hands on a damned system that will run Crysis, I say give it a shot. I was running Crysis on my current and only pc, whose specs are the following:
4gb DDR2 800 RAM
Pentium D 2.80Ghz
XFX 9600GSO oc'ed to hell
My pc is not the best pc out their, but it gets me around 40fps in about almost every game out there. But you see here, I played Crysis on all High at 1024x768, and guess what, I only got 14 god damned fps. I cranked it down to all medium, got around 19 fps. So I warn you, you better have invested in a system that will run Crysis before you attempt to play it.
Crysis is mostly for graphics, really. The gameplay is okay, not really the addicting type, it's basically a benchmarking game for people who have $5000 pc's. I'm not really going to talk about the campaign because I only downloaded the demo, so wait for a full review for when I get a pc that will actually run it.
Spork adds: Crysis was one of few games I stopped playing midway through, because it sucked that hard.
During calmer moments of the game, I was able to drag about 10fps out of the game on max settings at a resolution of 1680x1050, but had to tone it down to medium to play reasonably, and it still lagged when I was getting Zerg rushed by Koreans.
The game is unfairly difficult, even after I got fed up and turned on Godmode. There are several neat gimmicks, but they fail to redeem the crummy gameplay.
On max graphics, I was willing to believe that it was actually a live action movie, albeit one where everyone spoke in slow motion, but looking amazing is not the same thing as having a good game.
Anyway, Crysis actually made Legendary look like a good game, so the bottom line is: avoid at all costs.
