Review

Screw identity, mid-life, and environmental, this new Crysis deserves your undivided attention

Nov 13, 2007

Nov 13, 2007 For the first three hours of Crysis, amid the giggles, the going is extremely tough - with you seemingly permanently cowering behind small lumps of rock while Korean bullets try to carve you into new and interesting shapes. The key to beating this difficulty curve is the mastery of the nanosuit - which is not only vital to your continuing survival, but also to the amount of joy you can get out of the ...

Crysis: So clever it's stupid

And five other reasons why it's time to smash your old PC into little pieces

Oct 16, 2007

Oct 16, 2007 Crysis is really going to punish your hardware budget. The official specs aren't quite as nuclear as we expected, but if you want your version to look anything like these shots you better get cracking with a hammer on that old rig. It's time to blow the savings on a shiny new gaming behemoth. But is it really worth it? Well, yes. Because Crysis is stupid. We'd never have thought it before our latest hands-on with the game, but that's one of the best reasons to get busy with the ... » Read Full Crysis preview

Crysis' highs and lows

Is this shooter worth the hype? We take a hard look at single and multiplayer modes in our in-depth...

Oct 5, 2007

Oct 5, 2007 Crysis' single player mode is a far cry from the easy linear levels you've seen in other high profile first-person shooters like Halo 3. The game is hard, damn hard, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Take the Rambo approach - trying to methodically kill everyone in your path - and you'll die. Charge blindly towards your objective, and you'll die. Fail to treat even the lowliest of enemy grunts as a serious threat, and you'll die. Using your Nanosuit - which grants a variety ... » Read Full Crysis preview

Jul 20, 2007

Crysis' ultra realistic visuals continue to be the talk of the town. We had seen the screenshots. We had seen video footage. We had sat in on demonstrations. But it wasn't until we pressed our nose against the monitor and got our mitts on the first level of the game that we realized just how damn good this game looks. The screenshots we've seen so far - that showcase a single moment of the game in action - all look good. But they can't show off the subtle details that make Crysis so easy on ... » Read Full Crysis preview

Crysis - hands-on

Hit below the fan belt

Jun 12, 2007

This is not Far Cry. The nanosuit your character wears in this spiritual successor turns you into a full-blown superhero, and it renders you near-unstoppable. That means theyve had to make your task exponentially harder to compensate, of course. This time youre taking on whole armies, fleets of vehicles, aliens the size of volcanoes and stranger things still. The resulting conflict is action of a higher order of magnitude. Every ten seconds something explodes, and a Crysis explosion is a hell ... » Read Full Crysis preview

[PC] We get intimate with Crytek's staggeringly impressive alien-invasion shooter

Jun 20, 2006

Wednesday 10 May 2006 After all the waiting, we've finally gone face-to-face with Crysis, spiritual successor to Far Cry and easily one of the most exciting games of the year. But wait. Forget the better-than-life visuals, the stunning environmental effects and triple figure AI IQ - it is the overwhelming, epic and terrifying atmosphere that has left us dazed and blinking. Crysis jettisons Far Cry's story and characters, and casts you as a Delta Force operative sent to investigate an asteroid ... » Read Full Crysis preview
