Crysis looks nice. Very nice. Even on the lowest settings it is more than easy on the eye. It's a technical feat, a physics toolbox, a living, breathing, semi-open world bursting at the seams with detail. Disappointingly, the guns themselves aren't the stars of the show, and neither are the characters or indeed the story, and sadly, realistically splintering palm trees an FPS does not make. Firing weapons lacks the audiovisual punch we're accustomed to with Triple A shooters, the structure is suspect, enemies can often swamp the player unfairly, the AI is competent if unexceptional and there's virtually no multiplayer enjoyment to speak of. Still, worth checking out if you can run it; good for a play through but nothing more.
6/10
One-liner sum-up: The Jessica Simpson of games: looks great, but that's pretty much all it has going for it.
