Title: Technological Marvell
Review: Crysis is an obvious successor to Far Cry once you see the initial game play. However, the nano suite, amazing graphics, destructible environments, zero G, and ice world are quite unique. Overall, I found the game to be really fun. I did upgrade my video card (WinXP): originally I had an AMD939 4400x2 and X1900XT/256MB. The game played fine at 1280x800, 2X AA, and MED until I got to the ice level. Then I had to drop to 1024x768 0x AA, and MED to even hit 10-20fps. I installed an 8800GT/512MB and went to 1280x1024 2x AA, HIGH and the game ran smooth as silk (even maintaining over 30fps on the ice level). The one HUGH item the game lacks is the ability to REALLY go where you want (sandbox). I really wanted to just take a helicopter and fly around the island or go hike over mountains but couldn't. The upcoming Mercenaries game should give me what I am looking for. Anyhow, Crysis is still worth a try, at least try the demo if you are unsure and make a decision...
