Crysis - Game of the year 2007


I am not a game reviewer, just an avid game player. So if you expect some kind of review then pelase visit this link. Thanks to the internet, I got a copy of Crysis just as it got released worldwide and I now have access to one of most stunning games of the year 2007.

Frankly, I built my PC last year in anticipation to play Crysis and the game got delayed by an year. Anyway, it was worth the wait, I think I have not played any games in the past 2 - 3 years beyonnd the first 2 levels! But Crysis makes me sit late nights and play the same levels with different strategies [:)]

What I like -



  • Most stunning visuals (even at medium detials and 1024 resolution) - Depth of field, volumetric clouds look good even on DX9

  • Great gameplay - Stealth mode and cloak mode is simply brilliant. I appreciate the fact that the cloaked mode drops down as you move or the minute you start shooting at enemy soldiers. But what makes it good is that you can cloak and watch how the enemy moves and strategies before making the attack.

  • Innovative level design and art works

What I don't like -



  • AI sucks atleast at easy mode. I think this is one promising area where some one like Microsoft should release an SDK and provide all AI routines which can be called across any games.

  • Annoying bugs at places, this is really bad on Crytech, considering they delayed the game release by an year.

Hope Crytech can fix some glitches and make a patch available ASAP
