The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Crysis requires a high system to run smoothly, but those that can achieve "maximum power" and meet the requirements are in for an amazing experience. Featuring unparalleled graphics that sport near photo-realism, destructible environments and open-ended gameplay, EA's big first person shooter definitely satisfies. Players can blow out the tires of moving vehicles or hijack boats to quickly make their way from one part of the island to another. Additionally, the powers from the player's nanosuit brings incredible versatility, since players can super jump into high areas, punch through walls or activate stealth mode to sneak across open spaces. Although the artificial intelligence is strong, it can get a little quirky, with enemies that endlessly shoot at walls. Enemy armor can also become extreme, and sometimes seems like anything less than a perfect sniper headshot is a waste of ammunition. Lastly, the Power Struggle multiplayer mode, while exciting, is very time consuming. But even with these issues, Crysis stands out as one of the most technologically sophisticated games.
